Tasks are not just a text list. In Pensiv,
status and priority are shown with visual cues. Those cues help you
see quickly what to do next.

​
1. Checkbox — done or not

Each task has a checkbox on the left.
  • Unchecked → in progress
  • Checked → done
Done tasks
drop out of the active list.
The checkbox is
the basic status.

​
2. Color bar — group and highlight

A color bar appears on the left of the task.
You can change it from the more (…) menu. Color can be used for:
  • Phase (e.g. draft, edit)
  • Importance
  • Type of work
Color is not a feature;
it’s a way to group and emphasize.

​
3. Schedule and due date — time

You can set two dates on a task:
  • Schedule → when you plan to do it
  • Due date → when it must be done
Use the icon on the right of the task
to open the calendar and set dates. Tasks with dates
are ordered in the time-based views.

​
4. Move — change linked file

Use the move icon on the right
to link the task to a different file. So a task that started in the inbox
can be attached to a document or plot. Move resets the task’s context.

​
5. Open task — detail view

Choose “Open task”
to go to the task detail screen. Task detail screen There you can:
  • Edit the description
  • Change schedule
  • Change due date
  • Mark complete
all in one place. The list is for quick management;
opening the task is for detail.

​
6. View switch — filter by time

The four views at the top
re-sort tasks by time:
  • Inbox → no date
  • Today → today’s schedule or due
  • Scheduled → tasks with a date
  • All tasks → everything
Switching views
is the main way to read current task state.

​
Summary

The task screen
is not just a to-do list.
  • Checkbox = execution state
  • Color = group and emphasis
  • Date = time flow
  • Move = context
  • View = scope
A task is not only text;
it’s an interface for reading status.
