Tags

Cuts that cross categories and stack on the same task.

A tag is what a category cannot be: multiple. A task has one category and as many tags as make sense.

It is for the cut that crosses areas. "Urgent-for-Ana", "needs-internet", "trip-october" — things that show up in Work and Personal at once, and therefore would never fit in a category.

Creating one

  1. Open the Categories screen and go to the Tags block.
  2. Click New tag.
  3. Give it a name and pick a colour.

In a task's form, the Tags field also creates on the spot, without leaving.

The Tags block on the Categories screen, with several coloured tags and the New tag button.

When a tag is the right answer

Three signs that what you want is a tag, not a category or a section:

  • You caught yourself wanting to mark the same task two ways.
  • The cut is temporary — a project, a trip, a month.
  • The cut describes a condition ("no rush", "waiting on someone else"), not an area and not a stage.

Where it lives

The Categories screen, Tags block. Tags show in the Tasks screen filters and in search.

Connected calendars also accept default tags: every event imported from that calendar arrives already marked.

Limits and plans

Tags are in any paid plan, up to 500 per account.

Common questions

How many tags can a task carry? There is no practical limit. But a task with six tags usually means none of them is filtering anything.

Does renaming a tag break anything? No. The link is to the tag, not to its text.

Can I delete several at once? Yes — select them and use Delete. The confirmation differs from the single one; see the article next door.
