Quick-add syntax

Every task box in TinyHub understands a light “quick-add” syntax, the same convention you may know from Todoist. Type the task naturally and add a few tokens — TinyHub parses them as you type, shows a little preview of what it caught, and fills in the details when you press Enter.

Send the proposal #Website tomorrow @alice p1

…creates a task titled “Send the proposal”, filed in the Website project, scheduled tomorrow, assigned to Alice, at priority 1.

Type What it does Examples
#project Files the task into a project #Website, #Q3 launch
@person Assigns it to a workspace member @alice, @bob
p1p4 Sets priority (p1 = high … p4 = none) p1, p3
a date Schedules it — no symbol needed see below

As you type # or @, a small list of matching projects or members appears — use the arrow keys and Enter (or click) to pick one. Multi-word project names work: #Website relaunch matches the whole name.

Just write the date the way you’d say it — TinyHub understands English and Swedish:

  • today · tomorrow — or idag · imorgon
  • a weekday: friday, next monday — or på fredag, nästa måndag
  • next week — or nästa vecka
  • a month and day: oct 16, 16 oct — or 16 okt
  • a numeric date (day first): 16/10 or 16-10
  • a day of the month: the 16th — or den 16:e

The same syntax works in every capture box — My Day, a workspace’s Today, a project, the Inbox, and the “+ add task” rows inside any list — and in ⌘K: open the command menu, type your task with tokens, and choose Create task.

Anything you don’t tokenize just stays in the title, so you can adopt as much or as little of this as you like.
