Tags

Tags are the flexible layer on top of your buckets and objectives. Where a task lives in exactly one bucket, it can carry as many tags as you like — #urgent, #deep-work, #waiting-on, #Q3 — so you can slice your work by any theme that cuts across projects. Tags apply to tasks, events, and notes, and they live at the workspace level, so everyone in the workspace shares the same set.

Add a tag

You don't create tags from a settings screen — you make them where you use them. In any task, event, or note, click Add tag (the tag icon):

• A small popover opens with a Search or create… box.
• Start typing. Matching tags appear as you go — click one to attach it.
• If nothing matches, a Create "…" row appears with what you typed. Press Enter or click it, and the tag is created and attached in one step.

Attached tags show up as colored chips; click the × on a chip to remove it. New tags get a color assigned automatically — you can change it later (see Manage your tags).

Filter by tag

Once things are tagged, tags become one of the fastest ways to narrow a view. There are four places to do it:

• Spotlight — in Search, add #tagname to your query. review #urgent finds only the urgent items matching "review"; a #tag on its own works too. Fokus even nudges you with "Tip: use #tag to filter by tag" in the search box. (Objectives drop out of tag-filtered results, since they can't be tagged.) See Spotlight.
• Task board — in Kanban or Day View, open the Filters panel and use the Tags section. Toggle any number of tag pills to show only matching items, or pick No tag to surface everything that slipped through untagged.
• Notes list — open the notes filter and choose from the Tag dropdown (All tags by default) to show just the notes with that tag.
• Click a tag chip — clicking a tag anywhere it appears jumps straight to the matching list, pre-filtered to that tag: note tags open the filtered Notes list, task and event tags open the filtered Kanban board.

Manage your tags

To rename, recolor, or delete a tag, go to Settings → Workspace → Tags. This is the one place that shows every tag in the workspace at once:

• Rename — click the pencil on a tag, edit the Name, and press Update Tag. The change propagates everywhere the tag is used.
• Recolor — the edit dialog offers ten preset colors plus a custom color picker (any hex value). Colors are what make tag chips scannable at a glance.
• Delete — click the trash icon. Fokus confirms first, because deleting a tag removes it from every task, event, and note it was on. The items themselves are untouched — they just lose that label.
