Hiding lists
Sometimes you don't want every list on screen — you're sharing your screen at work, and your personal lists are nobody else's business.
The filter icon at the top right of the sidebar, next to the Fold mark, opens a checkbox for each of your lists. Untick one and it disappears: from the sidebar, and from Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 days, Summary and Search.
What it does and doesn't do
It hides, it doesn't delete. Nothing changes on your server. The todos are still there, and anyone looking at the same account from another app sees everything as normal.
It's a view, not a lock. Fold has no password on it. This tidies your screen; it doesn't secure anything.
Your lists come back exactly as they were. Show them again and nothing has moved.
Knowing it's on
Two things tell you:
- The filter icon takes on the accent colour and carries a small dot.
- "N lists hidden" appears under your lists, where the hidden ones would have been.
Click that row to bring them all back. It asks first — a stray click during a call is exactly what you don't want.
Things worth knowing
It stays on until you turn it off, including after a reload or a restart. That's deliberate: a filter that quietly reset itself would be worse than none, because you'd have to check it every time.
A new list is always visible. If you make a list while others are hidden, it shows up straight away — the filter only remembers the lists you actually unticked, so it can never swallow something you made later.
You can't hide everything. Unticking your last visible list turns the filter off instead of leaving you with an empty screen.
Opening a list directly still works. The filter only affects the sidebar and the Today / Tomorrow / Next 7 days / Summary / Search views. If you hide the list you're currently reading, Fold moves you to Today — otherwise its todos would stay on screen with no sign of where they came from.
Searching won't find a hidden list either. That's the one place this had to hold: a search box that surfaced the list you'd just hidden would undo the whole point of hiding it, in front of whoever you're sharing with.
