Backlog

The Backlog is for entries that should be saved but not kept in the active Timeline.

What Belongs In The Backlog

• Ideas that need more thought.
• Tasks that are not ready to schedule.
• Routines or notes that should be remembered later.
• Work that should not distract from the current day.

Backlog Behavior

• Entries created from the Backlog are saved with backlog: true.
• Backlog entries can be edited, deleted, tagged, connected, and completed.
• The Move to Timeline action toggles the backlog state off.
• Backlog results are paginated and can load more entries as needed.

API Relationship (only for developers)

Backlog is not a separate object. It is a boolean state on an entry:

{
  "title": "Research integration idea",
  "type": "task",
  "backlog": true
}

Use PATCH /entries/{id}/toggle-backlog to move an entry between Backlog and Timeline.
