Quick-add: type or speak tasks

The quick-add bar turns one plain-language line into a fully scheduled task. Everything below works identically whether you type it or dictate it with the microphone.

A complete example

Email the report fri 9am !high #work

→ a task titled “Email the report”, due Friday, reminder at 09:00, High priority, labelled #work. Tokens can appear in any order; whatever isn’t a token becomes the title.

Dates

  • today, tonight, tomorrow (or tmrw), next week
  • Weekday names: friday or fri — always the next future occurrence. next monday means Monday of next calendar week.
  • Explicit dates: 25 jul, july 25 or 2026-08-01. A month-day that already passed this year rolls to next year, and impossible dates like “31 feb” are left in the title rather than guessed at.

Times & reminders

  • 9am, 9:30am, 3 p.m., 14:00, or at 7pm — punctuated forms like “3 p.m.” (which dictation produces) work too.
  • A date plus a time sets a reminder at that moment — push and email.
  • A time on its own implies a date: today if the time is still ahead, otherwise tomorrow. call mom at 5pm just works.
  • Reminders are never scheduled in the past.

Priority

  • Bang tokens: !urgent, !high, !medium, !low
  • Numbers, Todoist-style (1 = highest): !1!4 or p1p4
  • Spoken phrases — because you can’t dictate a “!”: high priority, urgent priority, top priority or priority: low

Labels

Prefix any word with #: #work, #q3-launch. Labels are free on every plan and work across Areas — use them for contexts like #errand or #focus.

Voice input

Tap the microphone, speak, tap again to stop. Transcription happens in your browser’s own speech service — audio never touches Croniqs servers. Voice input understands English only for now, and works in browsers that support speech recognition (Chrome, Edge and Safari; Firefox hides the mic button).
