Before you start

Platforms	iOS (TestFlight) · Android — primary guide.
Plan	Free — most items; some need Premium
Prerequisites	Home tab, any list.

Steps

1. Open Home tab

Tap Home → pick a list (e.g. Inbox).

2. Long-press task

Hold the task row ~1 second. Menu shows Date, Priority, Pin, Move to, …

3. Tap items with arrows

Items like Date, Priority, Move to open a sheet or submenu — tap to choose (no hover).

4. One-tap actions

Single-level items — Pin, Duplicate, Won't do, Delete — apply on tap.

Action groups & micro-guides

Group	Actions	Detail guide
Date	Due date, reminder, repeat	Due date, Reminder, Repeat
Organize	Priority, pin, list, tag	Priority, Pin, Move list, Tags
Workflow	Duplicate, delete, won't do	Duplicate, Delete, Won't do

On web/desktop: Right-click; hover submenus.

Why the menu is worth learning

Almost everything you do to a task on mobile is behind one gesture: a long-press. Learning the groups in the menu saves many taps, because you do not have to open Task detail for common changes.

The groups at a glance

• Date and priority: when it is due and how important it is.
• Organise: move to a list, add tags, link a parent.
• Workflow: pin, duplicate, mark Won't do, convert to note.
• Danger zone: delete, usually at the bottom and red.

Items with an arrow open a sheet; single-level items apply at once.

A worked example

You open Inbox with ten new tasks. For each one, long-press and make two quick decisions: set the date with Date and move it with Move to. In under three minutes the inbox is processed without ever opening Task detail.

Tips

• Learn the three you use most first: Date, Priority and Move to.
• On web and desktop, right-click gives the same menu, with hover submenus.
• If you press by accident, close the menu by tapping outside it; nothing changes until you choose an item.

Common mistakes

• Tapping Delete when you meant Won't do. Read the label before you confirm.
• Using the menu for bulk work. On web, bulk edit is faster.
