Check out a video walkthrough showing tags in Sonto

Get introduced to tags in Sonto.
A tag is a label you define yourself that cuts across areas, projects, dates, and tasks. Unlike a project or area — where a task lives in exactly one — tags overlay your work, so the same task can be grouped and filtered by several at once.

​
Where tags live

  • Create and manage — in Settings. There’s no fixed taxonomy; you name your own.
  • Apply — to any area, project, or task. While naming a task you can also tag it inline by typing @ (see Natural language input).
  • Filter — from the filter bar on the Day, Week, and project views.

​
What a tag can do

​
Filtering

  • Filter bar — pick a tag to narrow the Day, Week, or a project to matching items. You can filter inside a project that already carries its own tag.
  • Sticky — an active filter persists for a couple of hours, so you stay focused without reapplying it.
  • Per view — each screen remembers its own filter independently; filtering your Week by waiting doesn’t change what your Day shows.
  • New tasks keep the filter’s tags — when a view is filtered by tags, a task you create there gets those tags, so it shows up in the filtered list right away. Tags you type in the task’s name are added as well. Tasks that are added without a view, such as through Siri, Shortcuts, or the share extension, aren’t tagged.
