Tags
Apps say what tool you used; tags say what it was for. A tag groups time across apps — “Client A” can cover an After Effects project, a folder of briefs, and a shared site — so Home, Charts, Reports, and the rest can answer “how much time did I spend on Client A this month?”
Creating and editing tags
Section titled “Creating and editing tags”Create tags from the right-click menu on any app or breakdown (Create new tag), from the Tags button at the top of the tray window, or in Settings → Tags. Each tag has:
- Name and an optional Parent — tags can sit inside other tags (see below).
- Color — tap the swatch for presets or a custom picker.
- Emoji or icon — pick an emoji from the built-in picker (or paste any),
or upload an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, ICO, SVG,
.icns). It shows wherever the tag appears: tag labels, charts, the calendar, and reports.
Nested tags
Section titled “Nested tags”Give a tag a Parent to put it inside another tag — up to four levels deep, like folders. A parent tag always includes the tags inside it: filtering by “Clients” shows every client under it, a goal on “Clients” counts all of them, and the Timeline’s Tags panel shows them nested. When a breakdown has both a parent tag and one of its children, the more specific tag is the one shown.
Applying tags
Section titled “Applying tags”Right-click any app or breakdown and tick a tag. Tagging only fills time that isn’t tagged yet, so tags you’ve already added stay put, and one app can have different tags at different times of the day. Unticking removes just that tag (and stops it from being added again automatically).
A message confirms how much time was tagged. If an app has several tags, the one with the most time is shown, followed by +N for the rest — hover it to see them all.
Tagging forward, not backward
Section titled “Tagging forward, not backward”Hover a tag in the right-click menu and click the fast-forward button to give all new time in that app or breakdown that tag from now on. Time you’ve already tracked keeps its tags — so moving a site from one client to the next is one click.
Automatic tagging
Section titled “Automatic tagging”Pin a tag and it keeps tagging new time on its own. Pinned tags have two switches — Auto-tag new breakdowns and Auto-tag new sub-breakdowns — that decide whether new projects, sites, or songs in a tagged app get the tag too. The Applied to list on the tag’s page shows everything it’s on; pause any item to stop tagging new time there, without changing what’s already tagged.
You can also tag right on the Timeline by selecting blocks — choosing between these blocks only or also tagging new time like them.
Filtering and stats
Section titled “Filtering and stats”Home, Activity, Charts, the Timeline, and Reports all have a tag filter. Choosing a parent tag includes every tag inside it. Each tag also has a Tag Stats panel with its totals and trends.
Archiving
Section titled “Archiving”Deleting is rarely right — a finished project’s history is still worth keeping. Archive a tag instead: it disappears from filters and tag lists, but its history stays. Archiving a tag archives the tags inside it too. Restore anytime from Settings → Tags → Archived.
