Views & Filters

Danny organizes your tasks through views — saved combinations of filters and sorting that show you exactly what you need. You get several built-in views, and you can create your own.

Built-In Views

These views appear in your left sidebar by default.

View	What it shows
Inbox	Tasks with no project assigned. Your default capture zone.
Today	Tasks due today, plus overdue tasks.
This Week	Tasks due within the next seven days.
All	Every task across all projects.
Completed	Completed tasks, sorted by completion date with the most recent at the top. Preserves your chosen sort order within the completed set.

Click any view in the sidebar to switch to it. The task list updates immediately.

Projects

Projects are your top-level way to organize tasks. Each task belongs to at most one project. Danny's AI classification automatically suggests a project when you create a task, but you can always change it.

Common project examples: "Home Maintenance," "Work," "Health," "Side Project."

You can create projects manually in the sidebar or let Danny create them during classification. Projects appear as expandable sections in the sidebar navigation.

Labels

Labels are cross-cutting tags that work alongside projects. A task can have multiple labels. Use labels for attributes that span across projects, like "errand," "phone-call," "waiting-on," or "quick-win."

Custom Views

You can create your own views with specific filter combinations. There are two ways to do this:

• Ask Danny — in the chat, say something like "Create a view for high-priority tasks due this week." Danny will set it up for you.
• Settings — go to Settings > Views to create and manage custom views manually.

Filter Criteria

When building custom views or using the filter bar, you can combine these criteria:

Filter	Options
Priority	P1, P2, P3, P4, or no priority
Due date	Today, this week, overdue, no date, custom range
Project	Any specific project, or "no project"
Labels	Any combination of labels
Text search	Searches task titles and descriptions
Completed	Show or hide completed tasks
Snoozed	Show only tasks currently snoozed (hidden until their snooze date)
Recurring	Show only tasks with a recurrence rule set

Filters stack — adding more filters narrows the results.

Sorting

Within any view, you can change the sort order.

Sort option	What it does
Due date	Nearest due date first
Priority	P1 first, then P2, P3, P4
Created date	Newest tasks first
Title	Alphabetical order
Time estimate	Shortest tasks first

Click the sort dropdown at the top of the task list to change the order. Your selection sticks for that view until you change it.

Smart Search

The search bar at the top of the app uses semantic search — it finds tasks by meaning, not just exact keyword matches. Searching for "dentist appointment" will surface a task titled "Call Dr. Patel about cleaning" even if it never uses the word "dentist."

Smart search works across task titles, descriptions, and notes. It works best once Danny has processed your existing tasks in the background (this happens automatically — no setup needed).

Sharing Views

You can share any view with someone who doesn't have a Danny account. This is useful for collaborative lists — a grocery list with a partner, a project checklist for a contractor, or a household to-do list the whole family can check off.

Creating a share link

1. Open the view you want to share.
2. Click the share icon (or the overflow menu).
3. Choose a permission level:
   • View only — the recipient can see your tasks but can't change them.
   • Toggle completion — the recipient can check and uncheck tasks.
4. Set an expiry: 7 days, 30 days, or Never.
5. Copy the generated link and send it.

Using a shared link

Recipients open the link in any browser — no Danny account or login required. They see the view's task list in a clean, minimal UI.

With a "Toggle completion" share, your partner can check off "Milk" on the shared grocery list, and you'll see it checked off immediately on your end.

Revoking a link

Open the share dialog for that view and delete the share. The link stops working immediately.

info

Shared links respect the view's filters — if your view shows only "Labels = errand" tasks, the recipient only sees those tasks.
