Add a task with its date, project and label in one line

What you need

• Nothing. This works in every task list, on the phone too.

Steps

1. Press q in any list, or click Add a task. Add a task
2. Type the task, then the details in any order. A date in everyday words (tomorrow, next wed, 3 Feb), a time (at 3pm, 15:00), #project, @label, a priority p1 to p4, and an estimate like +30m. Tokens
3. Watch the chips under the box: each one shows what was understood, and the title preview shows what will be saved. A word taken by mistake (“may” the name, not the month)? Select the × on its chip, or press Backspace twice at the end of the line. Preview chips
4. Press Enter. The task is created with everything set, and the box stays open for the next one. Quick add syntax

Good to know

• Dates work in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, all at once: demain à 15h and morgen um 15 Uhr both work. Languages
• Text in double quotes is never interpreted: Read "Next Friday" tomorrow. Preview chips
• Where you are matters: a task typed in Today is due today, one typed in a project goes into that project, unless the line says otherwise. Views and defaults
• Repeat rules are not read here. Add the task, then open it and set Repeat. Make a task repeat

If it does not work

• A word is read as a date, project or priority every time: turn parsing off for this device in Settings → Capture → Quick add. Quick add got it wrong
• A #project stays in the title: no project matches that name or prefix, or two do. Type more of the name; the chip shows the path when it matches. Tokens
