Your day
Tasks and habits
Create tasks, set dates and recurrence, and track recurring check-ins as habits.
Tasks collects actionable notes, including tasks that have no canvas position. A habit adds recurring check-in windows to a task. Use a task for “Send the measurements”; use a habit for a repeated practice such as “Step outside” with several check-ins during the day.
The task collection can include notes from multiple projects. Switching the canvas project does not restrict Tasks to that project's notes.
Create and complete a task
Select Tasks, enter its text in the capture field and submit. You can also right-click an existing canvas node and toggle Task, or choose task creation with the canvas lightbulb/checkmark button.
Use the task's checkbox to complete it. Completed tasks appear in Completed, which can be collapsed. On a task node, the right-click actions Complete and Uncomplete offer the same change of state.
A completed task can offer Run Again. This is useful for a task you deliberately repeat without first setting a recurrence schedule. Repeated use can also offer Convert to Habit. Check that choice's schedule rather than assuming every repeat now has a check-in window.
Right-click a task for Show on Canvas when it already has a position, or Add to Canvas when it does not. A task can exist without a drawn node. Delete moves a task note to Trash and cancels its pending task notifications.
Add a date
Use the date chip or right-click Set Date / Edit Date. In the date options:
- Turn on Add a date and choose Due.
- Optionally add a date range with Until.
- Choose Repeat: None, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
- For recurrence options that show Days, choose applicable weekdays.
- Choose Save.
An empty weekday selection means no weekday restriction. A recurring task can also use Set time range, with From and Until. Habit slots replace that single daily time range when you turn on habit tracking.
Clear date removes the schedule. Cancel dismisses changes to the date options. A task with no date remains a task; it does not need a made-up deadline to stay in the collection.
Track recurring check-ins
After choosing a date and recurrence, turn on Track as habit. Add the times you want with Add check-in. The Windows setting offers:
| Choice | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Until next | A slot remains current until the next slot, or the end of the day |
| Explicit | Give slots their own end times |
Fill by interval opens a generator with an interval and start/end times. Applying it replaces the current slot list; it does not append another set. The generator supports up to twelve check-ins. Review the resulting list before saving.
At least one slot is needed for the saved task to have a habit configuration. Habit tracking also requires recurrence; removing the date or recurrence removes that configuration.
The Feedback choice controls how habit history is presented. New habits use Check-ins only. Streaks & reflections is a separate choice, and an older habit can retain it. Do not assume every habit uses the same feedback mode.
Use the habit row
The stars represent check-in slots. Tap the current available star to record a check-in. Future slots are unavailable. The row's hint identifies the active window. Its detail view lets you inspect history.
Past-slot correction behaviour depends on the feedback mode; the older streak-based presentation can offer backfilling. A missed star is not a task you should mark complete simply to clear the row.
Delete habit in the date options asks for confirmation and moves the underlying note to Trash. It is different from turning off Track as habit or clearing the date, both of which change the configuration rather than using that delete action.
Notifications and Today
Glob requests notification permission for task reminders. macOS notification settings can prevent a banner or sound even when the task's date is saved. The reminder scheduler selects eligible reminders; it does not guarantee a separate notification for every outstanding task or missed habit slot.
Today shows tasks scheduled for the day alongside check-ins and journal material. Use Tasks for the broader list when an item does not belong in today's schedule. Prep lists are reusable checklists and flows are timed sequences; neither is just another task recurrence option.
