# Quick add
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One line in, a fully-formed task out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
betal moms i morgen kl 10 p1 #Firma @regnskab
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
becomes a task called **betal moms**, due tomorrow at 10:00, priority 1, in the
|
||
|
|
Firma project, labelled regnskab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The parts it understands are tinted underneath the text as you type, so you can see
|
||
|
|
it being read before you commit to it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What it reads
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| You type | It means |
|
||
|
|
|---|---|
|
||
|
|
| `#Firma` | Put it in that project. `#"Q3 rapport"` for a name with spaces. |
|
||
|
|
| `@regnskab` | Add that label. As many as you like. |
|
||
|
|
| `p1` … `p4` | Priority. `!!!`, `!!` and `!` also work. |
|
||
|
|
| `i dag`, `i morgen`, `i overmorgen` | Today, tomorrow, the day after. |
|
||
|
|
| `mandag`, `på fredag` | The next such weekday. |
|
||
|
|
| `næste mandag` | Next week's Monday, counted from Monday — not merely the next one to come round. |
|
||
|
|
| `om 3 dage`, `om en uge`, `næste måned` | Relative dates. |
|
||
|
|
| `15. marts`, `15/3`, `2026-03-15` | Written dates. Day first. |
|
||
|
|
| `kl 10`, `kl 14:30`, `klokken 16` | A clock time. |
|
||
|
|
| `hver mandag`, `hverdage`, `hver 2. uge` | Makes it [repeat](#repeating-tasks). |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
English works everywhere Danish does: `tomorrow`, `next friday`, `in 3 days`,
|
||
|
|
`every 2 weeks`, `at 10am`, `weekdays`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Mixing the two
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
ring til Anders on friday kl 14 #Arbejde
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both languages are read at once rather than behind a setting, because people mix
|
||
|
|
them mid-sentence. The only thing the language setting decides is a bare hour after
|
||
|
|
English `at`: `at 3` means three in the afternoon, while Danish `kl 3` means three
|
||
|
|
in the morning — Danish has no am/pm habit and the 24-hour clock is what people
|
||
|
|
mean.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Repeating tasks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
vand planterne hver mandag
|
||
|
|
standup hverdage kl 9
|
||
|
|
betal husleje den 1. i måneden
|
||
|
|
review every 2 weeks
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stored as an RFC 5545 RRULE, so a task exported to Apple Reminders keeps repeating
|
||
|
|
there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ticking off a repeating task **moves it to its next occurrence** rather than
|
||
|
|
closing it. The same task keeps its id, so its sub-tasks and comments stay
|
||
|
|
attached — a weekly review is one thing that recurs, not fifty-two things. The
|
||
|
|
completion is still recorded, so "what did I get done this week" includes the
|
||
|
|
chores that repeat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Dates it cannot read
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anything it does not recognise stays in the title. A task with a clumsy title beats
|
||
|
|
an error message and a lost thought.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! tip "Numeric dates are day-first"
|
||
|
|
`15/3` is the fifteenth of March. That is how both Danish and British English
|
||
|
|
write it, and guessing month-first would silently move a date by months rather
|
||
|
|
than failing visibly.
