# Tasks and reminders

> Standalone to-dos with due dates, surfaced in your inbox and via reminder emails.

Tasks are standalone to-dos with a title, due date, and priority. They live in the right sidebar, surface in your inbox, and trigger reminder emails so nothing slips.

## Creating a task

There are three ways to add a task:

<Steps>
  <Step title="From an email">
    Right-click any thread in the inbox and choose **Set task**. The task inherits the subject as its title and links back to the thread so context is one click away.
  </Step>

  <Step title="From the tasks sidebar">
    Press `p t` to open the tasks panel, then click **New task**. Type a title, pick a due date, and optionally link an email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="From the AI agent">
    Open the agent (`Cmd+Shift+L` or `p a`) and say something like *"Add a task to review the Acme contract by Friday."* The agent creates the task with the due date parsed from natural language.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Due dates and priority

Every task can have:

* **Due date.** Pick a calendar date or use natural-language input ("tomorrow", "next Friday").
* **Priority.** Low, medium, or high. Set it when creating the task, or right-click any email and choose **Set priority** to apply priority to the thread and its linked task at once.

Priority drives both the sort order in the sidebar and which tasks the AI agent surfaces in your daily briefing.

## Grouping in the sidebar

The tasks panel supports two grouping modes:

| Mode            | What you see                                                                                 |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **By due date** | Sections for Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, This week, Later, and No date. Best for daily triage. |
| **By status**   | Sections for Active, Snoozed, and Completed. Best for reviewing what's open versus done.     |

Toggle the mode from the header dropdown in the tasks panel.

## Reminder emails

When a task hits its due date, Slashy sends a reminder email from the agent. The email links straight to the task and the source thread if one is attached. You can act on it from any client, including mobile mail apps and iMessage.

## Completing and snoozing

* **Complete.** Click the checkbox on the task row, or press `Enter` when the task is focused. Completed tasks move to the Completed group; they are not deleted.
* **Snooze.** Hover the task and pick a new due date, or ask the agent to *"push that task to Monday."*

## On mobile

The tasks panel is available in the iOS app under the right-side panel. Create tasks from a thread via the share menu, and complete or snooze them with a swipe.
