    Timed tasks

    Give a task a time or a duration by typing it at the start of the title.

    A task in Sonaa Week has a day, not a fixed slot. When a time matters, write it at the start of the title and Sonaa picks it up.

    What you can type

    You typeSonaa reads it as
    9:00 Call Annastarts at 9:00
    9:00 - 10:30 Workshop9:00 to 10:30
    2:00pm Dentiststarts at 14:00
    11:00pm - 1:00am Shiftruns past midnight
    2h Write reporttakes two hours
    1.5 hours Readingtakes an hour and half

    The time has to come first and needs minutes – 2:00pm works, 2pm doesn't. A time in the middle of a title (Lunch at 12:30) stays plain text.

    You can also set the time in a task's dialog with the clock button. It writes the time into the title for you, so both ways end up the same.

    Bigger tasks for longer durations

    With Settings › Tasks › Timed tasks enabled, a task with a duration is drawn taller in the week, so a long block stands out from quick to-dos. Turn it off to show every task at the same size.
