​
Common Use Cases

# Clear all thoughts to start a new week
timo clear --confirmed
This command permanently deletes ALL thoughts from your list. This action cannot be undone. Make sure you have backed up any important thoughts before running this command.
The --confirmed flag is required by design. If you try to run timo clear without it, the command will fail. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental data loss.
If you only want to remove specific thoughts, use the timo remove command instead with the appropriate thought IDs.
Consider using timo list before clearing to review what you’re about to delete.
