Projects

Organize related tasks into projects for better management.


Overview

Projects are containers for related tasks. They appear in the sidebar and allow you to:

  • Group tasks by area (Work, Personal, Home)
  • Filter to see only relevant tasks
  • Track progress across related items

Creating Projects

  1. Press P (capital P)
  2. Enter the project name
  3. Press Enter

The project appears in the sidebar under "Projects".


Editing Projects

  1. Press h to focus the sidebar
  2. Navigate to the project with j/k
  3. Press E (capital E)
  4. Modify the name
  5. Press Enter to save

Deleting Projects

  1. Press h to focus the sidebar
  2. Navigate to the project
  3. Press X (capital X)
  4. Confirm deletion

Note: Deleting a project only unassigns its tasks—tasks are not deleted.


Assigning Tasks to Projects

When Creating

Use the @ syntax in Quick-Add-Syntax:

Fix bug @Backend
New feature @Frontend

After Creation

  1. Select a task
  2. Press m (move)
  3. Choose the destination project
  4. Press Enter

Viewing Project Tasks

  1. Press h to focus sidebar
  2. Navigate to a project
  3. Press Enter to select

The task list filters to show only that project's tasks.


Project Status

Projects have their own lifecycle:

Status Description
Active Currently being worked on
On Hold Temporarily paused
Completed All work finished
Archived No longer relevant

Bulk Move to Project

Move multiple tasks at once:

  1. Press v to enter multi-select mode
  2. Select tasks with Space
  3. Press m to move
  4. Choose destination project
  5. Press Enter

Projects in Dashboard

The Dashboard shows project progress:

  • Completion percentage per project
  • Task counts
  • Visual progress bars

Tips

  1. Use consistent naming - "Work" not "work" or "WORK"
  2. Keep it simple - A few well-defined projects work better than many
  3. Use tags for cross-cutting concerns - Tags work across projects
