Overview

Arre makes task management effortless with a clean interface and intelligent features. Every task can be customized with dates, energy levels, projects, and detailed notes to help you stay organized.

​
Creating Tasks

There are two ways to create tasks in Arre:
Click the New Task button or press Cmd+K to open the task editor. Fill in the details:
  • Title: What needs to be done? (required)
  • Notes: Add details, subtasks, or context
  • Date: Schedule it for a specific day
  • Project: Assign to an existing project
  • Energy Level: Low, Neutral, or High
  • Someday: Check this to move tasks to your Someday list
The task editor opens on the Magic Import tab by default when creating new tasks, and switches to Manual mode when editing existing tasks.

​
Task Properties

Every task in Arre has the following properties:

​
Title

The main description of your task. Keep it clear and actionable. Example: “Review Q3 report” instead of “The report needs reviewing”

​
Notes

Add additional context, subtasks, or links. Notes appear below the task title and help you remember important details when you return to a task later. Reference: TaskEditorModal.tsx:187-193

​
Date

Schedule tasks for specific days. Tasks with dates appear in:
  • Today: Tasks scheduled for today
  • Upcoming: Future scheduled tasks
  • Anytime: Undated tasks you can work on anytime
When you check Someday, the date field is disabled. Someday tasks are ideas you might want to do eventually, without a specific timeframe.

​
Evening Flag

Mark tasks specifically for the evening. These appear in a separate “This Evening” section on the Today page, helping you separate daytime and evening work. Reference: task.ts:10

​
Energy Level

Assign one of three energy levels to match tasks to your current state:
  • Low Energy: Simple, routine tasks that don’t require much focus
  • Neutral: Standard tasks with moderate complexity
  • High Focus: Deep work requiring concentration and mental clarity
Use Energy Filtering to view only tasks matching your current energy level. Reference: TaskEditorModal.tsx:249-263

​
Tags

Organize tasks with tags like work, personal, errand, or urgent. Tags appear as small badges next to your tasks. Available tags: work, personal, errand, urgent Reference: task.ts:2, TaskItem.tsx:84-86

​
Project Assignment

Link tasks to projects for better organization. Tasks assigned to projects are grouped together in Anytime and Someday views. Reference: TaskEditorModal.tsx:221-248

​
Editing Tasks

To edit a task:
  1. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) on any task
  2. Make your changes in the modal
  3. Click Save Changes
The task editor pre-fills with all existing data and opens in Manual mode. Reference: TaskItem.tsx:33-36

​
Completing Tasks

Click the circle checkbox next to any task to mark it complete. Completed tasks:
  • Show a checkmark and strike-through styling
  • Count toward your productivity metrics
  • Move to your Logbook for historical tracking
Click again to mark incomplete if needed. Reference: TaskItem.tsx:50-62

​
Deleting Tasks

To delete a task:
  1. Click the Delete button (trash icon)
  2. Confirm the deletion
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you really want to remove the task before confirming.
Reference: TaskItem.tsx:26-31

​
Tips for Effective Task Management

Use Energy Levels Strategically

Assign energy levels when creating tasks, then filter by your current state to see only what you can handle right now.

Keep Titles Action-Oriented

Start with verbs: “Draft proposal”, “Call client”, “Review code”. This makes tasks feel more concrete and achievable.

Use Projects for Grouping

Related tasks become easier to manage when grouped under projects. See them together in Anytime and Someday views.

Notes for Context

Add links, requirements, or subtasks in notes. Future-you will appreciate the extra context.
