Plan your days
Inbox
Capture a thought in a second, then decide later — schedule it, send it to Someday, give it a list or delete it.
The Inbox is a soft landing place for ideas before they become today’s work, a scheduled task or a “someday”. Write things down the moment they occur to you and sort them when you have a minute.
Capture
Section titled “Capture”Open Inbox in the sidebar and type into the field:
- on a computer: Add a thought, task, or reminder…, then Enter;
- on a phone: Add to Inbox… at the bottom, then the Send key.
The field stays ready for the next item, so you can empty your head in one go.
A task you create anywhere else without a date and without a list also lands in the Inbox. The number next to Inbox in the sidebar counts what’s waiting. You can hide that number in Settings → Badge → Inbox.
Sort an item
Section titled “Sort an item”Every item has the same few buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Today | Schedules it for today |
| Schedule | Opens a date picker with Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Next Monday and a calendar. Picking a date schedules it right away. |
| Someday | Moves it out of the Inbox without a date |
| … (More actions) | List, Goal and Delete |
Scheduling an item or sending it to Someday takes it out of the Inbox. Giving it a list or a goal doesn’t — the item stays until you also schedule it or send it to Someday.
Ticking an item’s checkbox marks it done.
Edit in place
Section titled “Edit in place”You can rename an item, add a Note and set its priority right in the Inbox. For a repeat, a reminder or subtasks, schedule the item first and open it from its day, or open it from the Tasks screen.
Someday
Section titled “Someday”“Someday” is for things you want to keep without committing to a date. Find them on the Tasks screen under the Someday tab — see Find and bulk-edit tasks.
