The next bar is the center of tingdo. Start typing and it searches every task, project, context, and note. Add a prefix and the same box captures a new task, files a note, or takes you straight to a project or a context view. One input does the work of a search screen, a new-task dialog, and a navigation menu, which is why the rest of the app can stay this calm.
What you get
- Instant search across tasks, projects, contexts, and reference notes.
- Capture without leaving the box:
+starts a task,*files a note, with inline/projectand#contextas you type. - Navigation by prefix:
/jumps to a project,#opens a context view. - Keyboard-first from the moment it opens to the moment you land on a result.
- A handoff that drops you on the exact item and scrolls it into view, so you keep the thread.
How it works
- Open the next bar from anywhere and start typing. Results filter as you go.
- The first character sets the mode: nothing for search,
+for a task,*for a note,/for projects,#for contexts. - Select a result and tingdo takes you to the precise task, highlighted, even across pages.
- Works the same on web and in the native apps.
Why it matters
- The next bar replaces memory. You don’t have to remember where you filed something to act on it.
- One box for finding, capturing, and moving means the rest of the interface can stay minimal. Less to learn, less to look at.
- Fast retrieval keeps your system trustworthy, and a system you trust is one you keep using.
