To-do lists
To-dos in visualOS live where the work lives — a checklist next to the moodboard it belongs to beats a task app you forgot to open.

Creating a list
Press K, click the canvas, and start typing in the “Add a task…” row. Enter saves the task and immediately starts the next one — you can braindump a whole list without touching the mouse. An optional heading sits at the top (add or edit it via the floating bar).
Working the list
- Check off a task by clicking its checkbox — it’s struck through and dimmed.
- Edit a task by clicking its text; emptying it deletes the task (there’s also a trash icon on hover).
- Reorder by dragging the ≡ handle at the right of each row.
- Format inline: Cmd/Ctrl+B and Cmd/Ctrl+I while editing — or type Markdown-style
**bold**and*italic*.
The card grows and shrinks with its tasks; drag a corner to change the width.
Completed tasks: keep or clear?
The first time you complete a task, visualOS asks once: “Delete completed tasks?”
- Yes — from then on, checked tasks are removed automatically. Your list is always the “what’s left” view.
- No thanks — completed tasks stay, struck through, as a record of progress.
Each list remembers its own answer and applies it to newly checked tasks — so a “groceries” list can auto-clear while a project list keeps its history.
