Projects

Projects help you group related tasks together. Openza Tasks supports both local projects you create and read-only projects synced from external providers.

Project Types

Local Projects

Projects created in Openza Tasks that you fully control:

• Create, edit, and delete freely
• Assign any color from the palette
• Move tasks between them

Provider Projects

Projects from Todoist, Microsoft To-Do, or Obsidian appear in the sidebar automatically:

• Read-only - Cannot edit or delete from Openza Tasks
• Managed through the original provider (Obsidian uses vault folders)
• Tasks synced from these projects show their source project

Note

Provider projects are extracted from your synced tasks. For Obsidian, tasks are grouped by their top-level vault folder, and root files appear under Vault Root.

The Inbox

Every integration has a default Inbox project:

• Always exists and cannot be deleted
• Tasks without a project go here
• Cannot be renamed or edited

Creating a Project

1. Click Add Project in the navigation rail
2. Enter a project name
3. Choose a color from the palette
4. Click Create

The new project appears in your Projects pane under the Openza Tasks section.

Editing a Project

1. Find the project in the Projects pane
2. Right-click or click the menu icon
3. Select Edit
4. Change the name or color
5. Click Save

Note

Only local Openza Tasks projects can be edited. Provider projects must be edited in their original app.

Deleting a Project

1. Right-click the project or click the menu icon
2. Select Delete
3. Choose what to do with the tasks:
   • Move to Inbox - Tasks are preserved in Inbox
   • Delete tasks - Tasks are permanently removed
4. Confirm the deletion

Caution

Deleting a project cannot be undone. Consider moving tasks to Inbox if you want to keep them.

Moving Tasks Between Projects

You can move tasks to a different project in two ways:

From Task Details

1. Select a task to open the details pane
2. Click Edit
3. Use the project dropdown to select a new project
4. Click Save

From Context Menu

1. Right-click on any task in the list
2. Select Move to Inbox or Move to Project
3. Choose the target project from the submenu

Tip

The context menu shows your 3 most recent projects for quick access. Select “More projects…” to see all available projects.

Filtering by Project

Click any project in the Projects pane to filter the task list:

• Only tasks from that project are shown
• The project name appears in the header
• Click the project again or select another view to clear the filter

Project Colors

When creating or editing a project, choose from 8 colors:

Color	Use Case Example
Gray	Archive or low-priority
Blue	Work projects
Green	Personal or health
Red	Urgent or important
Amber	Warnings or pending
Purple	Creative projects
Pink	Personal projects
Cyan	Learning or research

Colors help you visually distinguish projects in the sidebar and on task cards.
