I love GoodTask immensely, but every now and then, I go looking around at apps for the one thing that none of them seem to have. It's really 2 things together. The first is duration for tasks. I do know that I can set a start date/time and due date/time, but I'd really like to be able to estimate a duration that a task will take and have that appear on my calendar, displaying each task according to the amount of time it will take. (Like you typically see with Events). Ideally, then, you could fit tasks on your schedule and visualize the amount of time you'll be busy. I found an app that comes close because you can display your tasks on the calendar, but it doesn't have duration. This screen shot shows what I'm thinking of, but imagine the tasks stretched out based on duration, like the events.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s on the list to consider and I’ve thought a lot about it too. I hope it gets added in later updates. Thanks!

I would like this as well.
For the devs: Please look at how they do this in the iOS app "Structured".
This is exactly what I'm looking for to plan my day and see in a glance how long certain tasks take and how much time I have between tasks.
Only issue with Structured is that the reminders and calendar integration is not very good and it has sync/duplicates issues.

This feature (adding duration) gets my vote!

Structured does have a lot of good features, but I don't like that it's only 1 day at a time. Ideally, I'd like to see 1, 3 or 7.
