The task list

The left side shows unscheduled tasks organized into date groups:

• Inbox: Tasks in your Inbox. This group remains visible regardless of the active filter.
• Overdue: Tasks past their deadline, shown in red.
• Today: Tasks scheduled for today.
• Tomorrow, This Week, and Later This Month: Upcoming tasks grouped by timeframe.
• Someday: Tasks with no dates.

Drag the right edge of the task list to resize it. Double-click the edge to reset its width.

Scheduling work

• Drag a task from the left side into a time slot to schedule it.
• A scheduled task stays in the task list, so you can place it into more than one time slot.
• Drag a scheduled block to move it to another time.
• Drag a block’s top or bottom edge to adjust its duration.
• Double-click an empty slot to create a time block that is not tied to a task, such as Lunch or Meeting.
• Click the × button on a block to remove it from the schedule.
• Completing or cancelling a task automatically removes its scheduled blocks.

Time blocks

Time blocks are schedule entries that are not tied to a task. Use them for recurring activities such as lunch breaks, commutes, or meetings. Double-click a time block’s title to rename it, and click its color dot to cycle through colors.

Summary bar: The bar at the top shows scheduled task count, total planned time, and free time remaining. A red indicator means the day is overcommitted.
