Octoolo 0.8.1 has 17 apps. A task is one job an app does (for example "Merge PDF"); people find tasks with the search on the home screen, which opens the task's app on it. Works means the task is in this version. Coming means it is planned but not built yet: the app shows it as Soon, or not at all.
An app's address inside Octoolo is #/app/<app id>, a task's #/app/<app id>/<task id>; Octoolo.exe --open=app/<app id>/<task id> opens the app on it.
The apps
"Home group" is where the home screen shows the app (people can pin, reorder and hide apps, so their home may differ). "Family" is the catalog's grouping of tasks, used for colors.
