Natural Language Search

Find tasks by meaning and context, not just exact keywords — even when you can't remember what you called something.

What it does​

Danny's search understands meaning rather than matching text character-by-character. You can search for a concept or memory and Danny finds tasks that match the idea, even if the words are different. Looking for "flight research" might surface tasks named "compare airlines for Chicago trip" or "check bag fees on United." It works even when you can't remember exactly what you wrote.

How to use it​

  1. Press / anywhere in the app, or click the search bar at the top of the task list.
  2. Type a description of what you're looking for — a topic, a feeling, a vague memory.
  3. Results appear in order of relevance. Click any result to open the task.

Example​

You type: that thing about the client presentation

Danny returns tasks like:

  • Prepare slides for Henderson account review
  • Send follow-up deck to marketing team
  • Review feedback from last quarter's pitch

None of these contain the words "client presentation" exactly — but they're all about the same topic.

Tips​

  • Semantic search works better with a description than with single keywords. "stuff I needed to do before the launch" finds more than "launch".
  • You can use emotional or temporal language: "things I was stressed about last week" or "stuff I've been avoiding".
  • Search scans both task names and descriptions, so detail you added in the task body is findable even if the title doesn't mention it.
