Tasks are standalone to-do items with due dates in a sidebar panel. Reminders bring email threads back to your inbox at a time you choose. Together, they ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Tasks

Creating a Task

Open the tasks panel with p t, then click New Task. Each task has a title and optional due date — lightweight by design. Link an email for context.

Task Groups

Tasks auto-sort into five groups by due date:
GroupContains
OverduePast-due, incomplete tasks (always at top)
TodayDue today
TomorrowDue tomorrow
LaterDue more than one day out
No DateTasks without a due date

Linking Emails

Drag an email thread from the inbox onto the tasks panel to link it. A chip showing the email subject appears on the task — click it to jump to the thread. Drag a thread without an existing task and Slashy creates one automatically, using the email subject as the title.
Complete a task by clicking its checkbox. Completed tasks disappear permanently — there is no archive.

Email Reminders

Press h while viewing a thread to set a reminder. The thread archives and reappears at the top of your inbox at the scheduled time.
