Lists are now Goals + Tags (25.12.28)

✨ What's New

  1. Lists are now Goals + Tags - Projects become Goals, categories become Tags

  2. Dedicated Goal/Tag Views - See only related tasks + auto-calculated progress for Goals

  3. Multi-select - Select multiple tasks and batch process them

  4. Go to Date - Jump to any date instantly

🎯 Lists → Goals + Tags

The Problem

I had "Landing Page Launch" (a project with a deadline) mixed together with "Development" (just a category) in the same list. They're completely different things.

When a project wraps up, I want it gone from my view—but not deleted. I just want to archive it.

The Solution

We split Lists into two purpose-built tools:

GoalTag

Purpose

Projects with a start and end

Simple categorization

Examples

"App Launch", "Moving", "Q1 Marketing"

"Dev", "Ops", "Personal", "Urgent"

Progress

✅ Auto-calculated

❌ N/A

Hierarchy

✅ Sub-goals supported

❌ Flat

Per Task

One goal

Multiple tags

Read on for the details.

📊 Goals

Access from the Sidebar

Finding tasks for a specific goal meant endless scrolling through my task list. I just wanted to see all tasks for that goal in one place.

We heard you. Goals now live in the sidebar.

  • Each goal shows a progress bar at a glance

  • Click to open a dedicated view with only that goal's tasks

Sub-goals for Big Projects

Break down large goals into smaller milestones.

  • Auto-calculated progress: Parent goal progress updates based on sub-goals

  • Choose between average or sum calculation

Archive Completed Goals

Done with a goal? Archive it in Settings to hide it from your list. You can always restore it later.

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutAction

< / >

Enter and switch between Goal/Tag views (Shift + , / Shift + .)

Shift + n

Create new goal

g

Assign goal to task (l also works for now)

🏷️ Tags

Unlike Goals, Tags are for lightweight categorization.

  • Assign multiple tags to a single task

  • Color-code tags for visual distinction

Tag View

Click any tag in the sidebar to see all tasks with that tag. Works just like Goal view.

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutAction

< / >

Enter and switch between Goal/Tag views (Shift + , / Shift + .)

# or b

Assign tag to task

✅ Multi-select

The Problem

Cleaning up 10 completed tasks meant deleting them one by one. Tagging multiple tasks with the same tag? Same story—tedious repetition.

The Solution

Select multiple tasks, then:

  • Bulk delete (with undo support)

  • Bulk tag assignment

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutAction

Cmd + click

Add individual tasks to selection

Shift + click

Select a range

Shift + ↑↓

Expand/shrink selection with keyboard

🗓️ Go to Date

The Problem

Someone asks "Are you free on December 20th?" and I had to click through the calendar day by day to find out.

The Solution

Jump to any date instantly. Natural language input like "12/20" or "next thursday" works too.

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutAction

Cmd + G

Open date picker

Cmd + K → type date

Type "12/20" or "next thu" to jump directly

💎 Hidden Gems

Sidebar (SNB) Improvements

  • Click sections in collapsed mode to see a mini popover

Create Goals/Tags on the Fly

  • Create new goals or tags directly from the task creation dialog

Task Card Layout Refresh

  • Integration icons (Gmail, Slack, etc.) moved from title area to bottom, now in color

Calendar Navigation

  • Week Start option (Monday or Sunday)

  • Switching between 3-day/5-day views now keeps today visible

  • Separate buttons for moving by day vs. N days

Multi-select 3D Flip Animation

  • When you select multiple tasks, the TimeTracker flips in 3D to reveal batch action controls

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a visual glitch where deleted/completed tasks would briefly reappear when processing multiple tasks in succession

💬 A Note from the Developer

This update was a beast.

It started simple: I just wanted to make Lists accessible from the sidebar. But as I built it, the fundamental limitations of Lists became impossible to ignore. All the feedback you'd shared about List frustrations came flooding back.

The moment I decided to split Lists into Goals and Tags, I realized something else: migrating existing lists to tags would be painful without multi-select. So that went on the list too.

Building dedicated views for Goals and Tags exposed a mess of keyboard shortcut bugs. The shortcuts had no awareness of which layer you were on—regular view, Goal view, Command Bar. A full refactor of the shortcut system was unavoidable. It was painful, but necessary groundwork for moving faster going forward.

There's a bigger vision behind investing so heavily in Goals.

Goals, metrics, tasks—this kind of structured data is exactly what AI agents need to actually help you get things done. Using Claude Code has made this crystal clear to me. An agent that understands your goals, knows what's done and what's left, and genuinely helps you make progress. I'm exploring what it takes to build that kind of experience, the OFFLIGHT way.

The first step: Daily Planning & Reflection.

Let's be honest—OFFLIGHT today feels like an endless list of things to do. I want to change that. A space where you can look back at yesterday, look ahead to today, and figure out where you actually want to spend your time—with an AI agent built specifically for this.

If there's something you'd love to see in Daily Planning, I'd love to hear about it :)
