Editing tasks

A task starts as a line of text and grows only as much as it needs to. You can change a title in place or open the full editor for everything else.

Inline editing (macOS)

Click a task’s title to edit it right where it sits. The cursor lands where you clicked. Press ⏎, ⇥, or an arrow key to confirm; press ⎋ to cancel and revert. Editing also confirms automatically if you switch away, for example by changing sections or opening another task.

Inline editing is plain text only: it does not run smart parsing, so typing #Website in an inline edit keeps it as literal text rather than reassigning the project.

The detail modal

Press ⏎ on a selected task, or double-click it, to open the detail view. This is the full editor, with:

• Title (required)
• Description (optional, supports Markdown)
• Project
• Deadline
• Recurrence

It also shows the task’s history. On iPhone and iPad the same editor opens as a sheet.

What you can edit where

Everything except the title lives in the detail modal. The title can be changed either inline or in the modal. Archived tasks open in a read-only version of the detail view, so you can look back without changing the record.
