## What is Tasks?

Tasks is a personal productivity tool for managing your own to-do list. Unlike Projects (which is team-facing), Tasks is user-scoped — only you see your tasks.

## Key concepts

  
- **List:** A named collection of tasks. Tasks not in a list go to **Inbox**.
  
- **Priority:** P1 (Urgent), P2 (High), P3 (Medium), P4 (Low).
  
- **Views:** Inbox, Today, Upcoming (next 7 days), or by List.

## Quick-add parser

Type natural language like `Buy milk tomorrow P2 #shopping` and TotalCtrl automatically sets the due date, priority, and tag.

## Recurring tasks

Set any task to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. When you mark it complete, a new copy is created for the next interval.
