Todos

  • Add: press N, or click New todo, and type the whole todo on one line — see adding a todo.
  • Complete: click the circle. It draws a check, strikes the text through, and files the todo under "Completed".
  • Edit: click a todo's text to open its details — summary, a due date with an optional time, priority (high/medium/low, or none), and notes.
  • Order: overdue first, then by due date, then priority. Overdue dates show in red.
  • Completed section: collapsed by default with a count.

Due dates

A todo doesn't have a due date until you give it one. Turn on Due date and the date picker appears, starting at today; adjust it from there.

Turn on Time underneath it if the todo is due at a particular hour rather than simply that day. Without a time, it's an all-day todo and isn't overdue until the day is out.

To remove a due date, switch "Due date" off. That's also how you undo a date set by accident. Switching off Time on its own leaves the date and makes it all-day again.

A todo you've opened also shows a short history beneath its fields, once there's something to show: when it was created, when it was completed, how long it was open (duration), and — if it had a due date — whether it was finished on time, early, or late (timing).

Clearing completed work

A completed todo's timestamp is the only record that the work was ever done — it's what the Summary view is built from — so clearing is deliberate rather than a one-click sweep.

Clear completed… at the foot of the completed section asks which you mean:

  • Clear old completed removes work finished more than 30 days ago. Summary only looks back 30 days, so this never deletes anything you can still see there.
  • Clear everything completed takes recent work too. It tells you how many todos that is, and how many of them Summary is still showing.

Anything completed without a recorded date is left alone by both — there's no way to tell how old it is. You can still delete todos one at a time from their own details.

Everything you do is saved to your CalDAV server immediately — or queued if you're offline (offline).
