What quick add understands

Quick add moves the words it recognizes into the task's details. The rest becomes the task's name. Siri understands the same words.

Dates

Type	You get
today, tomorrow	That day
Friday, on Friday	The next Friday
next Friday	A Friday, with the Friday a week later offered as a choice
Oct 30	That date
in 3 days	Three days from now
this weekend	Saturday
this week, end of week	Friday
next week	Monday
end of month	The last day of the month
next month	The 1st of next month

When you type the name of today's weekday, you get today, with next week offered as a choice. Always check the date chip when you say “next”.

Small words just before a date, like “on”, “by” or “for”, are left out of the name too.

Times

Type	You get
at 3pm, at 9:30 AM	That time
at 5	5:00 PM. Hours from 1 to 6 without am or pm count as afternoon.
this morning	9:00 AM
this afternoon	2:00 PM
this evening	6:00 PM
tonight	7:00 PM

A time without a date means today. If that time has already passed, it means tomorrow.

Projects

• Type # and the start of a project's name. For example, #errands picks a project called Errands.
• Or mention the project's name in your sentence.
• A project's quick-add words point to it too. See Projects and the board.
• Today learns as you go. When you add a task to a project with quick add, it remembers the words in your sentence that start with a capital letter, like names of people and companies. The more often you use a name with a project, the more likely Today is to suggest that project.

If no project matches what you typed after #, the word stays in the task's name.

When Today is only guessing, the project chip shows a question mark. If two projects fit equally well, the task stays in the Inbox, and both are listed under Suggested when you open the chip.

Priority

Type	You get
!high, !1 or !!!	High
!medium, !2 or !!	Medium
!low or !3	Low
high priority, urgent, asap	High

The words “urgent” and “asap” stay in the task's name.

Repeats

Type	You get
every day, daily	Every day
every weekday	Monday to Friday
every Monday and Thursday	Those days each week
every other week, every 2 weeks	Every two weeks
every month, every 15th	Every month
every year, yearly	Every year

Without a date, the task starts on the first day that fits, even when you add a time. For example, every Monday at 10am starts on the next Monday, or today if it's Monday and 10am hasn't passed yet. See Repeating tasks.

Reminders, links and filler words

• Start with Remind me to to add a reminder. It's set for the task's time, or for your default reminder time when there's no time. Without a date, the reminder chip says Remind me when? so you can choose.
• At the start of a sentence, openers like I need to, Don't forget to and Todo: are left out of the name.
• A web address that starts with http:// or https:// is saved as a link on the task.
