Task Management

Danny gives you a fast, flexible way to capture and organize tasks. Everything starts with the quick-add bar and flows into a detail panel where you can refine each task.

Quick-Add Bar

The quick-add bar is always visible at the top of your task list. Click it, type your task, and press Enter. Danny understands natural language for dates and priority.

Shortcut	Example	Result
Dates	"tomorrow", "next Friday", "in 3 days"	Sets the due date
Priority	"P1", "P2", "P3", "P4"	Sets priority level
Both	"File taxes by April 15 P1"	Due April 15, priority P1

Detail Panel

Click any task to open its detail panel on the right side of the screen (or as a bottom sheet on mobile). Here you can edit every field:

• Title — the task name, editable inline.
• Description — add notes, context, or details.
• Priority — P1 (urgent) through P4 (low). Color-coded in the task list.
• Due date — pick from a calendar or type a natural language date.
• Project — assign to a project for top-level organization.
• Labels — add one or more cross-cutting tags.
• Time estimate — how long the task should take.
• Energy level — low, medium, or high mental effort.

Subtasks

Break large tasks into smaller steps. In the detail panel, scroll to the subtasks section and click Add Subtask. Subtasks have their own completion checkboxes and show progress on the parent task.

You can also ask Danny to create subtasks for you — see AI Features for details on automatic decomposition.

Comments

Add comments to any task for notes, updates, or context. Comments appear in chronological order in the detail panel.

Complete and Reopen

Click the checkbox next to any task to mark it complete. Completed tasks move out of your active views but aren't deleted. To bring one back, find it in the All view with the completed toggle turned on, and click its checkbox again.

Batch Operations

Select multiple tasks by holding Shift and clicking, or use the select-all checkbox at the top of a list. With multiple tasks selected, you can:

• Set priority for all selected tasks.
• Move them to a project.
• Set or clear due dates.
• Mark them all complete.
