ToDo View
Work across Matrix tasks and Lists without changing where the underlying item lives.
ToDo combines Matrix work with optional List pages in one execution view. Cell 0:0 Lists appear first and cell 4:4 Lists appear after Matrix tasks. Use Filter for an independent cross-module filter; Include Notes exposes checklist/detail text inline, where you can check off Actions directly. A scheduled cell 0:0 List gets the same Complete and Skip buttons as a recurring task. Beside every ✓ Complete, ✓✓✓ Finish all checks off every Action and then completes, after asking. A List with no current occurrence gets ✓✓✓ Check all and ☐ Clear all instead, which set every box and complete nothing.

Initial view
The view this device opens to. Each device keeps its own choice.
Adjust text size
Small changes are saved separately for large and small screens and included in backups.
Tag definitions
Define the characters you use for projects, people, status, labels, places, or your own categories.
Custom priority pattern
Place priorities 2–8 anywhere between fixed cell 1 at High/Now and cell 9 at Low/Later. The pattern also controls ToDo View priority.
Reminder delivery
A scheduled date and time sends nothing by itself unless a task reminder is selected. Reminder processing runs at an administrator-selected 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 60 minute clock interval. Each reminder is assigned to the boundary on or before its requested time, so delivery may be early rather than late.
Daily Digest
The Daily Digest is one email each day listing scheduled items due inside the selected window. It summarizes due dates and times for Matrix tasks and Lists; it is separate from the individual reminder lead times selected on each scheduled item.
The Notes choice is shared with individual reminder output.
When From and Through are the same, the digest covers the next 24 hours. A later Through time creates a same-day window; an earlier Through time creates an overnight window. Date-only scheduled items are included in the digest for their due date.
Items included in the digest do not receive their individually selected reminders. Items outside the digest window still do.
Items included in the digest still receive their individually selected reminders.
Time zone
Task times are stored in UTC and displayed in the local time zone of each device. This account time zone is used when formatting reminder email or log output.
Grid orientation
Choose which dimension runs down the rows. FAVOR or Custom still controls priority and ToDo View order.
ToDo List order — cell 0:0
How List tasks at the top of ToDo View are ordered. The ToDo View sort control orders Matrix tasks only.
ToDo List order — cell 4:4
How Notes at the bottom of ToDo View are ordered. Notes carry no due date, so they order by description.
Grid preference scope
Choose whether Grid orientation, FAVOR, and the custom priority pattern apply only here or follow your account on participating devices.
Views follow me across devices
When on, every device shows the same Matrix, ToDo, and Lists filters, the same ToDo options, and the same queue choice, set from the device with Full access. A view changed on another device lasts until its next update. Text size and grid preferences have their own settings.

Import
Bring tasks in from Todoist or another app (CSV or JSON): map the fields, preview, then import. Recent imports can be undone.

Active device did not respond to release request.
This device is restricted to Viewer access and cannot take control.
Control cannot be transferred while this device is offline.
Focused cell
Drag the numbered grip to reorder or move a task. On compact screens, a large 3×3 drop board opens; release over slot 1, 2, or 3 in the destination cell.
Keep holding the task, choose a cell and numbered slot on the drop board, then release.
Schedule
Numeric dates follow the account setting: . A two-digit year always means 20YY. YYYY-MM-DD is always accepted. For clarity, specify AM/PM or use 24-hour time; an ambiguous time such as 3:00 is interpreted as the next future 3:00 AM or PM.
Build with controls
Minute- and hour-based schedules are valid even when their cadence is shorter than the administrator’s reminder-processing interval. Email reminders still run only on that interval.

No filters have been saved yet. Build a filter below, then choose Save as.
Use quoted phrases, parentheses, and and, or, not — or &&, ||, !. Dates may be single days (ISO, numeric in your Settings date format, month names, today, tomorrow, a weekday, overdue) or ranges in plain words (below); ranges never include overdue items.
ToDo filters can match Matrix tasks and included List pages. Importance and Urgency apply only to Matrix tasks; List Title/Page name is searched by Task / List. 0:0 and 4:4 match the Lists in that cell.
The Lists filter decides which Lists appear; Find searches within them. Title and Page name are searched by List. 0:0 and 4:4 match the Lists in that cell.
Example: #deck and @bob and not(stain or paint)
Inverse: not(#deck and @bob and not(stain or paint))
Symbols: #deck && @bob && !(stain || paint)
Symbol inverse: !(#deck && @bob && !(stain || paint))
Dates: this week or overdue, next 10 days and #deck, by friday, this month, 10/15 through 10/20. Put a phrase in quotes to search its words as text.

Overflow backlog
Cell queues
Open grid slots stay open until you choose which queued task to promote. In this Overflow backlog view, moving Q1 up promotes it to the grid; moving active slot 3 down demotes it to Q1.
This cell’s queue is empty.

These characters are conventions you defined. Task Matrix 3x3 does not assign built-in meaning to them.

Assign your own meaning to a character. Definitions guide consistent entry and filtering; they do not alter existing task text.
Priority order
Custom grid pattern
High/Now is always priority 1 and Low/Later is always priority 9. Choose where priorities 2–8 belong. Selecting a number automatically swaps it with the cell that currently has that number.
Importance / Urgency
Grid orientation may transpose the display, but it does not change which logical cell receives each custom priority number.

Pad and Lists links
Page name vs Title
Title is the human-friendly heading you can make descriptive and long.
Page name is the shorter, unique, case-sensitive link identity used inside [PageName] references. New Page names use letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Pad and Lists share the same Page-name namespace.
When Page name is empty, leaving Title suggests a cleaned unique link name; you can change it. Older pages created before this restriction may retain a legacy name unchanged until you choose to rename them.
Changing an existing Page name changes its link target and human-friendly image aliases. If saved items refer to the old name, Task Matrix will offer to rewrite those references and /img/OldName/… aliases when you save the rename.
