A tag is a label you put on work to pull it together across projects, areas, and dates — so you can focus on everything that shares it, wherever it lives. This walkthrough creates a couple of tags and puts them straight to work. Watch below, or follow the steps.

Tags in Sonto

1

Create a couple of tags

Open Settings and add two tags to start with. There’s no fixed set — you decide what they mean. Two that earn their keep:
  • office — work you can only do in a certain place.
  • waiting — anything stuck until someone else gets back to you.

Tag a project, then a single task

Pick a project — say Kitchen renovation. Tag the whole project office and everything in it travels with that tag. Or tag just one task, Order cabinet samples, with office, because that’s the one thing you’ll do from your desk.
While naming a task, type @ and the tag name to tag it inline — and create the tag on the spot if it’s new. See Natural language input.

Filter your Day

Schedule that task for today, then open the filter bar on your Day and pick office. The view narrows to just your office work, and everything else steps out of the way.
A tag doesn’t schedule a task. To see a tagged task on your Day, schedule it for that day first, then filter.

Combine tags to focus harder

Add waiting to Order cabinet samples as well. Now it’s both office (where you’ll do it) and waiting (blocked on a reply). Filter any view by waiting to round up everything that’s stuck, in one place.

​
Make it stick

Two touches keep you in the flow once you’re filtering:
  • A filter is sticky for a couple of hours, so you can settle into one tag without reapplying it.
  • Each view keeps its own filter — your Week can show waiting while your Day shows office.
