Plans

A plan is a group of related tasks with a shared note. Think of it as a heading for a chunk of your quest: “Kitchen renovation”, “Week of the 14th”, “Reading list”. Every task belongs to exactly one plan.

The unplanned plan

Every quest has a default home for tasks that don’t belong anywhere in particular. New tasks can live there until you file them under a plan of your own, so you never have to decide on structure before you can capture something.

Creating a plan

On the Plans view, press + New plan. A plan needs a title; below it is a markdown body where you can write anything the plan needs — context, a checklist, links, notes. Press Save.

The plan body

The body is a full markdown note (the same editor you use for tasks — see Tasks). Use it for the “why” and “how” of the plan: goals, references, a rough outline. The seeded Getting Started plan is a good example — it uses its body to explain how the columns work.

Enhance a plan into tasks

If a plan is still empty, you can let the assistant flesh it out and break it into tasks for you. Press Enhance on the plan and follow the prompts — see Enhance Plan for the full walkthrough.

Organising plans and tasks

• Reorder plans — drag a plan up or down in the Plans list to set its order.
• Reorder tasks — drag tasks within a plan to arrange them.
• Move a task to another plan — open the task and use its plan pill: Change plan, Move to plan, or Remove plan to send it back to the unplanned home. (If there’s nowhere else to put it, you’ll see “No other plans.“)

Finishing a plan

A plan is “done” when its tasks are done — plan afoot shows a small count of closed vs. total tasks on each plan, so you can see at a glance how far along you are. There’s no separate “complete the plan” button; just finish the work (unless the plan is Endless, which never auto-completes).

Finished tasks don’t clutter the plan forever. Each plan’s own Done pane shows your recent finishes — the last 15 cards, or everything from the last 30 days, whichever is more — with an All done › link through to the full task archive for the rest.

A finished plan doesn’t vanish from the Plans view right away — it sits there as a done card for a while, so you can see what you just wrapped up. Older completions eventually collapse behind a ‹ show done link at the bottom of the list; open it to search every plan you’ve ever finished (the archive is read-only — no editing a closed plan there).

Endless plans

Some plans are containers that should never finish — “Chores”, “Reading list”. Open the plan and flip the Endless switch: an endless plan stays open even when every task in it is done, instead of completing.

Plans that contain a repeating task are endless automatically — the switch locks on with the hint “Plans with recurring tasks stay open” — because a plan holding a task that always comes back never truly finishes either.

Repeating a plan

A whole plan can repeat, not just a single task. Open a plan and use its ↻ repeat pill — type how often in plain language (“every month”, “every other Friday”), the same way you set a task to repeat.

Like a repeating task, a repeating plan waits for its next date rather than reappearing the instant you finish it — see Scheduling for how that waiting works. While it waits, the plan is off the Plans view and shows up on the Scheduled view instead, alongside any waiting tasks.

When the plan’s next date arrives, it’s the same plan that comes back — nothing is re-created. Its tasks that you’d finished move back to your Queue, with their dates shifted to the new occurrence, so you start the cycle with a clean board. Tasks inside the plan that themselves repeat are left alone — they’re already coming back on their own schedule and aren’t touched by the plan’s reopening.

Deleting a plan

Open a plan and choose Delete; you’ll be asked to confirm. Deleting the seeded Getting Started plan once you’ve found your feet is expected — the app even suggests it.
