A task in Slashy attaches to an email thread. Rather than keeping a separate to-do list that drifts out of sync with your inbox, you mark the thread itself as Needs reply or Follow up, give it a priority, and it stays visible in your Reminders view until it is handled.

​
Setting a task

1

From the keyboard

Press t on any thread to open the task picker. Choose Needs reply, Follow up, or No action needed to clear it.
2

From the right-click menu

Right-click any thread in the inbox and choose Set task or Set priority.
3

From the AI agent

Open the agent (Cmd+/ or d a) and say something like “Mark this as needing a follow-up.” The agent can also clear a task on its own when a later message shows the work is already done.

​
Task types

​
Priority

Press p on a thread to set priority, or right-click and choose Set priority. Choosing Remove task and priority clears both at once.

​
How tasks appear in your list

A thread with an active task shows two indicators in the list: an icon for the task type and a set of bars for its priority. Hover either one to see the task type, the priority, and a short summary of what is outstanding.

​
Grouping the Reminders view

Press g h (or Shift+H) to open Reminders. It groups threads with tasks two ways: Due dates come from the follow-up Slashy detects on the thread, so a Follow up task lands in the right bucket without you picking a date by hand. See Never miss a follow-up for how that detection works.

​
Clearing a task

  • Press t and choose No action needed, or press p and choose Remove task and priority.
  • Marking a thread done (e) clears its task automatically, so archiving a handled thread does not leave a stale reminder behind.
