What is a project?

A project is a named collection of related tasks. Use projects for ongoing efforts — a product launch, a home renovation, a work initiative — where tasks share context and belong together.

​
Creating a project

From the task list, click the project selector on any task and type a new project name. Tandem creates it automatically. From the CLI:

​
Assigning tasks to a project

Edit any task and select a project from the dropdown. You can also assign tasks in bulk from the CLI:

​
Project categories

Each project has its own category list. Categories help you label tasks within the project — for example, a software project might have categories like Frontend, Backend, CLI, and Design. Setting categories from the CLI:
When you edit a task in a project, the category dropdown shows that project’s categories.

​
General categories

Tasks not in any project use your general category list. Manage it from the CLI:

​
Viewing tasks by project

The task list shows which project each task belongs to. You can filter or focus on a project from the task list sidebar.

​
Renaming a project

From Settings → Projects, click the project name to rename it. All tasks in the project update automatically. From the CLI:

​
Archiving a project

Archiving hides a project and all its tasks from your main view without deleting anything. Archived projects can be restored at any time. From Settings → Projects, open the project menu and select Archive. From the CLI:

​
Deleting a project

Deleting a project is permanent. When you delete a project, Tandem will ask what to do with its tasks:
  • Remove from project — tasks stay in your list, unassigned from the project
  • Delete all tasks — tasks are permanently deleted along with the project
From the CLI:
You’ll be prompted to choose what happens to the tasks before anything is deleted.

​
Project members

Adding people to a project lets you share tasks, assign work, and collaborate. Project membership is coming in a future update — see Connections for the current collaboration model.
