I agree that losing focus while trying to add a task can be disruptive. I recognized that as an issue. So I've aimed to make this process seamless in Floutwork. For instance, if you're in a meeting, you can open a command bar via a keyboard shortcut (CMD+1) and type tasks like "Get back with Mike next week" or "Follow up with Dan at 3pm." You can close the command bar by clicking outside of it, returning to your original view without losing focus.

If you're on a web page and find something worth following up on, you can select the text, right-click, and choose "Add Task," optionally setting a time like "Tomorrow" or "Next week." Alternatively, you can select "Add Task with Screenshot" to capture the current view and URL for future reference. The same can be done by right-clicking any open tab, allowing you to close it and remove it from your view until you're ready to revisit the task.

Another way to add tasks without losing focus is to click the tasks icon at the top-right corner of any web app to open a side view. Here, you can quickly add multiple tasks and then close the Split View.

The goal is to make task creation simple and focus-friendly, enabling you to get tasks out of your head while maintaining your current activity so I wanted to provide a few different options within the app. Do you think this approach would be helpful for you?
