Tips & tricks

A few kinda handy things.

Mirrors the in-app Settings → Guide → Tips & tricks page. Gestures, capture, planning, themes, and a few quiet extras.

Gestures

Tap the status cycler

Recurring rows: 1 tap = done, 2 taps = skip today, 3 taps = pause the whole series. Tap a paused row to resume in one tap. Non-recurring rows stop at skipped (no pause).

Swipe right to mark done, then archive

First swipe right marks a row done. A second swipe right on a done row archives it.

Swipe left to undo done

Swipe a done row left to flip it back to pending. Mirror-swipes in Settings flips left/right.

Long-press a row for selection mode

Long-press a row to enter multi-select. Tap more rows, then batch archive, delete, or mark done.

Drag the handle to reorder and reschedule

Press and hold the grip handle on the left of a to-do or habit row, then drag. On the Week tab, drop on a different day to reschedule.

Drag the + button

Press and hold the floating + to move it. Snaps to edges, position persists across sessions.

Tap the chevron to expand

The chevron (›) on the right is the only toggle for expanding a row.

Tap the title to rename

Tap any row’s title to rename in place. If the row is collapsed, the same tap expands it first. Tap outside or press Enter to commit.

Swipe months on the calendar

Open any date picker. Swipe left for the next month, right for the previous. Works in the header date strip, deadlines, move, and recurring end dates. The chevrons still work as fallback.

Capture

Smart capture

Type @category, #tag, !priority, or a time anywhere in the title, in any order. The chips light up live. Works in Quick Capture and every + Add input. Recurrence is set via the recurring icon, not parsed inline.

Sigil guards + create on the fly

Type #newtag or @newcat without a match and it stays as literal text — no orphans from typos. To actually create the tag or category, tap the + Create chip that appears below the smart-capture chips.

Share from any app

Long-press text in any app → ShareDONE(kinda). Lands pre-filled in Quick Capture.

Plan

Yesterday’s unfinished

Bring forward yesterday’s unfinished to-dos to today, or keep on yesterday when the app opens for the first time each day.

Reminder offsets

Tap the bell to fire 5 / 15 / 30 min before a scheduled time. On an unscheduled to-do, the offset means “from now”.

Multi-period habits

Tap both AM and PM period chips on a recurring row to fire twice a day from one template.

Pause + skip habits and recurring to-dos

Cycle past done to skipped (one tap), or past skipped to paused (cascades the whole series). Tap the paused cycler to resume in one tap. Skipped days and pause windows don’t break streaks.

The dot on a recurring row

A dot on a recurring row’s squircle means that one to-do has been changed from the rest of its series (its title, category, time, and so on). The series itself stays the same. To edit the whole series, expand the row and tap the recurring gear.

Tap Week-tab rows to jump to the day

A to-do row jumps to the To-do tab on that day. An event row jumps to the Day tab. A habit dot jumps to the Habits tab. The day-card background routes to To-do too.

Customise

18 themes

Settings → Appearance → Theme. 9 light + 9 dark gradients; accent follows the theme.

Palette override

Tap the palette icon in an expanded row to pick a custom colour. Overrides category/tag colour for that row only.

App icon variants

Settings → Appearance → App icon. Auto / Light / Dark. Auto follows the active theme.

Sink done to the bottom

Settings → To-dos → Sink done to bottom re-sorts completed rows below pending in their bucket. Pinned-done still anchors to the top. Off by default.

Bar colour cascades through both sources

Settings → Appearance → Bar colour priority picks which classification wins (category or tag) when both have a colour. If your preferred source has no colour, the other source still tints the bar. A per-row palette pick beats both.

Track

Notes timeline

Tap the note line in an expanded to-do to add a timestamped entry. Editable for 5 minutes, then locks.

Stats: Rhythm + Badges

Stats (kebab menu) shows Rhythm, your current streak tier, and Badges, milestones earned plus ones still ahead.

Filters with saved views

Tap the filter chip in the header. Save useful combos (e.g. High priority + Work) and one-tap reapply.

Extras

Weather flourish

Settings → Extras → Weather. Once-a-day summary on the Day tab. City-level location, no account, no tracking.

Rage shake

Settings → Extras → Rage shake. Shake your phone and the app shows your next undone to-do.

Pomodoro

Floating focus timer. Off by default. Settings → Pomodoro to turn on, then tap the pill to start a session.

Move data

Import

Settings → Data → Import. Reads CSV with title / date / priority columns; auto-creates missing tags and categories.

Full JSON backup + restore

Settings → Data → Backup downloads a full JSON snapshot. Restore replaces everything. Use before a factory reset or device switch.

Per-collection CSV exports

Settings → Data exports to-dos, DONE(really), habits, and nook as standalone CSVs. For printing, spreadsheets, or feeding into another tool.

Nothing matches that yet. Try a shorter word, or clear the filter.
