Getting started.

Start with a project

Projects are how you group related notes and tasks - a trip, a work stream, “Side project,” whatever shape your life actually has. Each one gets a name and a color, so you can tell them apart at a glance in the sidebar.

You don’t need one to get going, though. BlumaSpace doesn’t make you set up structure before you’re allowed to start - add a project the day you actually miss having one.

Capture into your Inbox

Not every task belongs to a project yet, and that’s fine - that’s what Inbox is for. Anything you add without picking a project lands there, so capturing a thought never has to wait on deciding where it goes.

Move it into a project later, whenever it actually earns one.

Write your first note

Notes are a full markdown editor: type / for headings, lists, and quotes, or select text for bold, italic, underline, and six pastel highlight colors. Type [[ to link to another note by name.

A note can sit inside a project too, right alongside that project’s tasks.

Link a task to a note

This is the part BlumaSpace is actually built around. When you add a task, the Note chip lets you attach it to the note it came from. Open the note later and the task is right there with it; open the task and you can jump straight back to the note.

A thought and the thing to do about it stay next to each other, instead of living in two apps that never talk.

Set priority and due date

Every task carries a priority - P1 (Urgent) down to P4 (Low) - shown as a small colored flag. Add a due date with the Date chip, and set it to repeat with the Recurrence chip if it’s something you do on a schedule.

Split big projects up

Once a project grows, break it into subprojects so the tasks inside stay organized without starting an entirely new project. Each subproject rolls its progress up to the parent, so you can see the whole thing at a glance or drill into one piece of it.

Plan with Today and Upcoming

Today shows what’s due now, split into Overdue, Today, and Completed, so you always know what’s actually asking for your attention. Upcoming lays the days ahead out in order, for when you want to look further than today.

Complete and review

Check a task off and it drops into that day’s Completed list - a quiet record of what actually got done, not a badge to chase. Nothing resets, nothing nags. Come back whenever you come back.
