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.

​
Availability

Tags and filtering are available on both Mac and iPhone.
