Projects

Projects group tasks under a custom status workflow.

Project Tree

Projects appear in the sidebar with incomplete-task counts. Drag to reorder. Use the right-click context menu to rename, recolor, change icon, or delete.

Creating a Project

The + affordance in the sidebar Projects section opens a creation dialog:

• Name — display title
• Color — accent for the sidebar entry and project header
• Icon — emoji or icon set choice
• Initial statuses — memrynote pre-fills Todo / In Progress / Done; you can edit before creating

You can also create a project without leaving the task you're working on. Every project dropdown — the Add Task dialog, the task detail drawer, the project picker in the Projects tab, and the project-scope dropdown above the task list — ends with a Create project entry. Choosing it opens the same creation dialog, and the new project is selected once you save.

Statuses

Each project owns its own ordered list of statuses. A status has:

• Name
• Type — todo, in-progress, done, or custom (used for grouping and progress)
• Color — used in chips, kanban columns, and progress bars

Status types matter for cross-project views: "All Tasks → kanban grouped by status" maps memrynote's status type, not raw status names.

Editing Statuses

Open the project header menu and choose Edit statuses. From there you can:

• Add new statuses
• Rename / recolor
• Change type (e.g. promote a custom status to done so it counts in progress bars)
• Reorder by drag
• Delete (with a confirmation; memrynote asks where to move tasks currently in that status)

Task Counts

The sidebar shows incomplete task counts per project — tasks whose status type is not done. This keeps the count meaningful even as you complete tasks.

Default Project

Settings → Tasks → Default Project sets which project new tasks go to when you quick-add outside any project view. "(No project)" is a valid default.

Project Views

Each project has its own:

• List view (with project-specific saved filters)
• Kanban view (columns = the project's statuses)
• Tabs for All, Today, Completed scoped to that project

memrynote remembers per-project view preferences.

Deleting a Project

Deleting asks you to choose what to do with the tasks:

• Move to another project — pick from the project list
• Move to no project — keep the tasks, drop the project assignment
• Delete with project — destructive; tasks go too

Each path is reversible via undo within the 10-second window.

Sync

Projects sync as standard sync items with field-level vector clocks for resilient cross-device editing. See Sync Protocol.
