Views
The same tasks, arranged for different questions. Nothing here changes your data — a view is a lens, not a folder.
The four layouts
| Layout | Good for |
|---|---|
| List | Working through things in order. The default, and the fastest to scan. |
| Board | Kanban columns — seeing where work is stuck rather than when it is due. |
| Calendar | Anything where the question is when, not what. |
| Matrix | Deciding what deserves your attention at all. |
List, Board and Calendar are switched from the View button at the top right of a list. Matrix has its own entry in the sidebar, because it is a way of looking at your whole workload rather than at one project.
The View panel
Everything below lives behind that one button, and every setting is remembered per list. Your Work project can group by assignee while Today stays ungrouped — changing one never disturbs the other.
Grouping
Splits the list into headed sections: Priority, Due date, Label, Assignee, or none. Grouping by assignee turns a shared project into a straightforward answer to who is on what.
Some views do their own sectioning and hide this option — Today already splits overdue from due today, and a second grouping on top would only fight it.
Sorting
- Manual — your own drag order. This is the only one that persists a decision; the rest are computed each time.
- Due date, Priority, Alphabetical, Date added.
Filtering
Narrows what the list shows, without saving anything:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Date | All, Overdue, Today, Next 7 days, No date |
| Priority | All, or one of P1 to P4 |
| Label | All, or one label |
| Completed tasks | Off by default — turn on to see what you have finished |
For a question you ask repeatedly, save a filter instead. The View panel is for right now; a filter is for every day.
Calendar
Tasks with a due date appear on the day they are due. One with a time and a duration takes up that much space; one without a time sits at the top of the day as an all-day item.
Seven zoom levels, from Day through Multi-Day, Week, Multi-Week, Month and Year, to Agenda — a plain chronological list, which is usually the most readable choice on a phone.
This is Todome’s own calendar. To see your tasks in Google Calendar alongside your meetings, see Calendar sync.
Matrix
Four quadrants — urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, neither. It reads your existing priorities rather than adding a field, so P1 lands in the first quadrant and P4 in the fourth.
That means moving a task between quadrants is changing its priority, and it shows up as such everywhere else. Drag it on a desktop, or use the arrow button on the row and pick a quadrant — which is how to do it on a phone, where dragging is awkward.
