Hi @Andy_Meadows1, welcome to the Forum!

You bring up some good points. Being able to add a new task from anywhere is definitely important. You may find the tips in this recent release post helpful: Say hello to the new Desktop app icon in your menu bar or system tray! 🖥 Ensure that the desktop app is installed to use these features.

You should be able to use any of these methods to add a task from anywhere:

  • Keyboard shortcut [Shift] + [CMD] + [+]
  • Click on the Asana icon in the System Tray, and type in the “Click here to add a task field”

  • Or as is shown on my Windows machine when clicking on the Asana icon in the System Tray, enter the new task name in the “Type your heart out…” field
