- Example: "Buy milk #grocery" or "Fix bug #urgent"
- Tags are automatically extracted and available for filtering
- Use consistent tag names for best results (e.g., always use #work, not #work-related)
Popular Tag Categories
#urgent - Important tasks that need attention#work - Work-related tasks#personal - Personal or home tasks#shopping - Items to buy#home - Home improvement or maintenance

💡 Pro Tip: Combine sections and tags for powerful organization.
For example, use sections for context (Shopping, Work) and tags for priority (#urgent, #important).
