Steps

1. Open Quick Add on mobile

On the Home tab, tap the Quick Add bar (pill at the bottom). The keyboard opens — type directly without opening a separate screen.

2. Type naturally

Examples:

• Team sync 3pm tomorrow #work
• Call client Friday 9am !!
• Buy milk today

DonDon splits title, time, tag, and priority (!! = high).

3. Check the preview

Before saving, the app shows the parsed task — date, tag, priority. Adjust in the preview if needed, then tap Add.

4. Task lands in Inbox or target list

By default, tasks go to Inbox. Organize later in Tasks & lists or long-press → Move to another list.

Mobile tips

• Relative dates: tomorrow, next week, 7/15
• !! or !!! for quick priority boost
• Quick Add pill is always available on Home — no menu needed

On web/desktop: ⌘⇧Space opens Quick Add popup; + button on web.
