The sections
Every task in Rymi lives in one section at a time. The sections are not folders you organise; they are levels of commitment.
| Section | Purpose | Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Inbox | Capture raw thoughts | Not committed |
| Today | The day’s commitments | Fully committed |
| Backlog | Parked but alive | Deferred |
| Archive | Done or dropped | Past |
Where captured tasks land. Inbox is a processing queue, not an action list. Things stay here until you decide what to do with them. Tasks appear in the order you captured them and are not reorderable, because Inbox is not where you plan.
Where commitments live. Moving a task to Today means “this is happening.” Today persists across days: nothing is auto-wiped or rolled over. A long Today list is a broken promise to yourself, so the design gently encourages restraint, though it never imposes a limit.
Backlog
Section titled “Backlog”Where deferred work waits. Backlog is not a dumping ground and not a graveyard. It is permission to say “not now” without losing the thread. Deadlines surface Backlog tasks automatically when they start to matter, so you can let go of them safely.
Archive
Section titled “Archive”Where finished work goes. Completing a task (⌘⏎ on the Mac) or
archiving it sends it here. The Archive separates completed tasks, archived
tasks, and archived projects so you can see what you actually did. See the
Archive reference.
Moving between sections
Section titled “Moving between sections”When a task is selected, single keys move it:
Tmoves it to TodayBmoves it to BacklogAarchives it (or unarchives, from the Archive)
The same moves are available by drag, by the row’s controls, and in the morning check-in. Whatever the surface, the meaning is constant: moving to Today is a commitment, moving to Backlog is a deferral.
