Add due dates with @
Write @tomorrow 3pm at the end of a task line and it becomes the due date in To-dos and the calendar. Dates are worked out in Korea Standard Time.
Applies to Web · Mac · iPhone app
Put @ and a date on a task line and it becomes that task’s due date. No date picker needed: write Order reagents @fri or Draft report @tomorrow 2pm. What you typed stays in the note as written, and the due date shows up in To-dos, the calendar, the project tree and the dashboard.
The basics
- The date goes directly after the
@. In@meeting tomorrownothing is read as a date. - A time right after the date sets the due time:
@tomorrow 3pm. Don’t put “at” in between —@tomorrow at 3pmkeeps the date but drops the time. - Put only one
@date or range on each line. If a line has several, a numeric range such as@10/5~9wins wherever it appears; otherwise the first date wins. A time on its own, such as@3pm, attaches to another date on the same line. - Everything is calculated in Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9). “Today” rolls over at midnight in Seoul, not in your local time zone.
- This works on checklist lines, and on plain bullet or numbered lines too — adding a date turns the line into a task.

Set dates from a menu
- In a note: right-click the task line → Set due date… → pick a Start and optional End (optional), then Save. A date like
@2026-10-3is added to the end of the line. Clear due date removes it. - In To-dos: right-click a task (or use ⋯) → Set due date & time (or Change due date & time). You can set a date and a time. The end-date field appears only for tasks that already have a range — to create a range, right-click the line in the note and use Set due date…, or write
@start~end. A date range can’t have a time. - In Quick add task, a date you type in the text beats the date you picked. See Use the To-dos view.
@tomorrow in the middle, a single date added from the menu may be ignored because the earlier date is read first (a date range added from the menu does take effect, since numeric ranges win). Edit the typed date directly instead.Good to know
- Typing
@opens a list of people on the note. Just keep typing the date; picking a person inserts a mention instead of a date. @next week wedis read as “next week” (Monday). Write@next wedinstead.- The full list of input forms is in the Input syntax reference.
