Lists and List Groups

Lists are the basic organizational unit in 2Do. They live in the navigation drawer (slide from the left edge, or tap the hamburger icon).

Focus Lists​

The top of the drawer always shows your Focus Lists:

  • All — everything not hidden by a paused tag or scheduled in the future.
  • Today — tasks due today, plus tasks whose duration window reaches today. Depending on your Appearance settings, Today can also include overdue tasks, starred tasks, and tasks you're still working on.
  • Starred — your starred tasks.
  • Scheduled — tasks with a future start date.
  • Inbox — tasks not yet sorted into a list.

Excluding a List from Focus Lists​

Long-press a list in the drawer → Edit List. Use the Exclude from toggles to keep this list out of:

  • All
  • Today
  • Done
  • Sync

A small eye-shaped icon appears next to the list name once you've customised its global visibility. The list and its tasks are still visible when you tap into the list directly — they just don't show up in the Focus Lists you've excluded them from.

Creating a List​

  • Open the drawer → tap [+] at the bottom.
  • Choose New List, New Project, New Checklist, New List Group, or New Smart List.

Each list has a name, a color, a list group, and visibility options for Focus Lists and sync.

List Groups​

Group related lists into a folder for a calmer drawer:

  • [+] → New List Group.
  • Drag lists into the group from the drawer's edit mode.
  • Tap a group's chevron to collapse or expand.

Reordering​

  • Open the drawer → tap Edit at the top → drag the handle next to each list.

Editing or Deleting​

Long-press any list → Edit List or Delete List. From Edit List you can:

  • Rename the list.
  • Move it to another List Group.
  • Change the color.
  • Exclude it from All, Today, Done, or Sync.
  • Archive the list.

Indicators​

  • Count badge — incomplete tasks.
  • White glowing dot — a task due today is hiding inside.
  • Red glowing dot — an overdue task is hiding inside.
  • A lock icon indicates a locked list.
  • A smart-list glyph distinguishes Smart Lists from regular lists.
  • Eye-shaped icon — one or more of the list's visibility options have been changed.

Smart Lists​

Smart Lists also live in the drawer. They're saved searches with their own color and icon. See Smart Lists.
