Tasks & subtasks

Create, organize, complete, and undo tasks. Build projects with unlimited nested subtasks.

Tasks are the heart of Clarity.Do. A task can be a quick one-off or the top of a deep project tree.

Creating a task

Press + (or the floating button on mobile) and give the task a name. While you’re there you can also set:

Due date — when it needs to be done. Due dates →
Notes — any detail, context, or checklist text the task needs.
Focused — flag it to appear in the Focus view.
Importance and urgency — how much it matters and how soon. Priority → (Pro)
Parent — place it under another task to make it a subtask.

A task only needs a name. Everything else is optional.

Quick Capture

When ideas are coming faster than you can file them, use Quick Capture: type one task per line and save them all at once. Nothing is lost mid-flow — sort and organize later.

Subtasks and projects

There is no separate “project” type. Any task with subtasks is a project. Nest as deep as the work needs — there is no limit on depth.

Expand and collapse any branch to control how much you see.
Drill in to a task to work inside just that branch, with breadcrumbs to find your way back.
Reorder tasks by dragging them within their parent.

Completing and undoing

Tap a task’s circle to complete it. Completed tasks drop out of your active views so the list stays clean.

Changed your mind? Undo restores the task to where it was. Premium accounts get a full completion history with undo going back days.

Editing and deleting

Open any task to change its name, notes, due date, focus flag, priority, or parent. Delete a task from its editor — deleting a parent removes its subtasks too, so move anything you want to keep first.
