Status & priority

Status

Every todo moves through workflow states — from backlog or open, through started, to done or canceled. Click a row’s status icon to cycle it, or pick a state from the property bar or the row’s context menu (digits pick directly inside the submenu). Status powers the progress rings, and it is the language shared with agents: when an agent claims a todo it moves to started, and closing it marks it done.

Statuses are managed under Settings → Statuses: name, icon, description, and which one is the default. A status can belong to one list, in which case it is only offered on that list’s todos — a list with its own flow keeps its states to itself. Sorting a grouped list by Status date orders each column by how long a todo has sat in its current state.

Completed work doesn’t clutter your lists forever. Finished todos leave the list after the window set under Settings → Preferences and move to the archive after the days set under Settings → General.

Priority

Priority marks what deserves attention first: urgent, high, medium, low, or none. Each level has its own glyph in the list, so a scan shows you where the fire is. Set priority from the property bar, the context menu, or when creating a todo.

Due dates

Todos can carry a due date, set from a calendar with quick presets — Today, Tomorrow, End of week, Next week, In two weeks, In one month — or typed in plain language (“next friday”, “aug 12”). Approaching and overdue dates are flagged in the list, and the due-date filter and the seeded Today, Upcoming and Overdue views make deadlines a page of their own. The same selector holds the Repeat rule for recurring todos.
