Timeline

The Timeline is the primary work surface in Notaday. It shows active entries, supports quick capture, and helps users keep today's work in motion.

Core Capabilities

  • Create tasks, routines, and journal entries from a smart inline input.
  • Filter by type: All, Tasks, or Routines.
  • Search entries by text.
  • Filter by channel or tag from sidebar or entry metadata.
  • Drag and drop entries to update manual sort order.
  • Toggle completion state.
  • Expand or collapse completed entries.
  • Load additional entries through pagination.
  • Edit, delete, connect, tag, or channel entries through the edit dialog.

Smart Entry Input

When a user types into the Timeline input, Notaday scores the text against simple keyword groups:

Detected Type Example Keywords
Task todo, task, complete, finish, need to, should
Journal today, yesterday, feel, felt, learned, grateful
Routine every, daily, weekly, routine, habit, always

The user can override the detected type before creating the entry.

Routine Display Modes

Routine entries can be displayed in two ways:

Mode Result
Mixed Routines appear alongside tasks in the normal Timeline list.
Separate Routines appear in their own section below active entries.

The setting is controlled from Settings and persisted on the user profile.

Completed Entries

Completed entries are kept available in a collapsible section. If all visible entries are completed, the Timeline shows an all-caught-up state.
