Inbox

The Inbox shows assigned top-level tasks that have an open status. Tasks appear here regardless of whether they have due dates, making it a broad view of active work assigned to you.

What is the Inbox?

Think of the Inbox as a holding area for:

• New tasks you just captured
• Assigned items that need processing
• Ideas you haven’t scheduled yet

Using the Inbox

Quick Capture

Use the Add Task bar at the top of the Inbox. Type a title, pick a status, and press Enter. There is no global quick-add shortcut yet.

Processing Your Inbox

1. Review each task - confirm it belongs.
2. Add details - description, priority, labels, attachments.
3. Schedule - set a due date (moves to Today/Upcoming) or mark Someday.
4. Assign - choose a status, assignee, or project.

Inbox Zero

Many users aim for "Inbox Zero" - processing all tasks so the Inbox is empty. This workflow:

• Reduces mental clutter
• Ensures nothing falls through the cracks
• Keeps your task system organized
• Gives a sense of accomplishment

Keyboard Shortcuts (while editing)

• P — Open priority picker
• Mod+S — Open status picker (Add Task input only)
• Mod+U — Open assignee picker
• Mod+L — Open label picker
• Shift+P — Open project picker
• Mod+M — Toggle Add More options (Add Task input only)

Shortcuts trigger only when focus is inside the Add Task input or Task Details.
