Views & Filters
Danny organizes your tasks through views — saved combinations of filters and sorting that show you exactly what you need. You get several built-in views, and you can create your own.
Built-In Views
These views appear in your left sidebar by default.
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Inbox | Tasks with no project assigned. Your default capture zone. |
| Today | Tasks due today, plus overdue tasks. |
| This Week | Tasks due within the next seven days. |
| All | Every task across all projects. |
Click any view in the sidebar to switch to it. The task list updates immediately.
Projects
Projects are your top-level way to organize tasks. Each task belongs to at most one project. Danny's AI classification automatically suggests a project when you create a task, but you can always change it.
Common project examples: "Home Maintenance," "Work," "Health," "Side Project."
You can create projects manually in the sidebar or let Danny create them during classification. Projects appear as expandable sections in the sidebar navigation.
Labels
Labels are cross-cutting tags that work alongside projects. A task can have multiple labels. Use labels for attributes that span across projects, like "errand," "phone-call," "waiting-on," or "quick-win."
Custom Views
You can create your own views with specific filter combinations. There are two ways to do this:
- Ask Danny — in the chat, say something like "Create a view for high-priority tasks due this week." Danny will set it up for you.
- Settings — go to Settings > Views to create and manage custom views manually.
Filter Criteria
When building custom views or using the filter bar, you can combine these criteria:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Priority | P1, P2, P3, P4, or no priority |
| Due date | Today, this week, overdue, no date, custom range |
| Project | Any specific project, or "no project" |
| Labels | Any combination of labels |
| Text search | Searches task titles and descriptions |
| Completed | Show or hide completed tasks |
Filters stack — adding more filters narrows the results.
Sorting
Within any view, you can change the sort order.
| Sort option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Due date | Nearest due date first |
| Priority | P1 first, then P2, P3, P4 |
| Created date | Newest tasks first |
| Title | Alphabetical order |
| Time estimate | Shortest tasks first |
Click the sort dropdown at the top of the task list to change the order. Your selection sticks for that view until you change it.
