Working with projects
This page covers the mechanics of projects. For what a project is and why they are deliberately flat, see the concept.
Create a project
Section titled “Create a project”Press ⇧⌘N from anywhere. The new project becomes the selected tab with
its name field focused, so you can name it immediately and start adding tasks.
Assign tasks
Section titled “Assign tasks”- While capturing, type
#and the name:Fix the header #Website. Matching is fuzzy, and Rymi offers to create the project if there is no match. See smart parsing. - On a selected task, press
Pto open the project picker. - Use the picker from the task’s row.
A task belongs to at most one project.
The project view
Section titled “The project view”Open a project to see its tasks grouped by section, with Inbox, Today, and Backlog
headers and live counts. Tasks here still live in your normal sections too; the
project view is a focused lens on one theme. You can move tasks across sections
from here with T, B, and A, and reorder within a section.
Descriptions
Section titled “Descriptions”A project can carry an optional description for context or goals. Click the info icon to expand it; click again to edit. It supports Markdown (bold, italic, links, lists, code) and is collapsed by default so it never gets in the way.
Rename, archive, delete
Section titled “Rename, archive, delete”From the project’s overflow menu (or the sidebar context menu):
- Rename turns the title into an inline field.
- Archive moves the project to the Archive while keeping its tasks where they are. Use it for finished or paused work.
- Delete removes the project and all of its tasks. Rymi confirms first and tells you how many tasks will go, because deleted projects and their tasks do not appear in the Archive.
Shared projects
Section titled “Shared projects”With Rymi Together a project can be shared. Shared projects gain an Unassigned pool and per-person assignment; see sharing a project and members and assignment.
