When you're juggling more than one big thing (a product launch, a house move, a client engagement), you don't want their tasks tangled together in one giant list. You want to say "show me just the launch" and see only that. In Vyneron, projects do this.
A project is a single home for a body of work: assign tasks, notes, and routines to it, then filter your workspace down to that project whenever you want to focus.
TL;DR: Create a project, assign tasks, notes, and routines to it, and use the project picker to filter your view to just that project. Routines you create under a project stay in it automatically. Deleting a project never deletes its items; they become unassigned.
Projects vs. labels: when to use which
Both organize your work in different ways, and you can use them together:
- A project is a container: a task belongs to one project (its home). Use projects for distinct bodies of work you switch between.
- A label is a cross-cut: a task can carry many labels (client, context, priority). Use labels for dimensions that apply across projects.
Rule of thumb: which launch? → project. Is it urgent / whose is it / what context? → labels. A task can be in "Q3 Launch" (project) and tagged "urgent" + "design" (labels) at the same time.
How to use projects
1. Create a project
Give it a name, such as "Q3 Launch," "Home Reno," or "Client A."
2. Assign your work
Set the project on a task, note, or routine when you create or edit it. Anything without one stays under No Project, so nothing gets lost.
3. Filter to focus
Use the project picker to narrow your whole workspace to a single project, so you see only the tasks, notes, and routines for that effort. Pick another project to switch context.
4. Routines inherit automatically
Create a recurring routine inside a project and it stays in that project, so a project's recurring rituals (a weekly status update, a monthly review) live alongside its one-off tasks.
What happens when you delete a project
Deleting a project is safe: its tasks and notes become unassigned (back to No Project) instead of disappearing. So you can wind down a finished project without worrying about losing the work or its history.
A few honest notes
- One project per item. A task lives in a single project (its home). For the "this belongs to several things" case, reach for labels instead.
- MVP today. This first version is about grouping and focus. Deeper team features (per-project access roles) are planned for later. For now, projects keep your own work separated.
FAQ
What is the difference between projects and labels in a task manager?
A project is a container, so each task has one project as its home. Labels cut across projects, which means one task can sit in "Q3 Launch" and still be tagged "urgent" and "design."
What happens to tasks when you delete a project?
They stay. The project's tasks and notes become unassigned and move back to No Project, so you can wind down a finished project without losing the work or its history.
Can a task belong to more than one project in Vyneron?
No. A task lives in a single project, so for something that belongs to several things, use labels instead.
