Short answers to the things people ask twice.
How each part of SoloWork actually works, written for the day you are trying to get something done rather than the day you installed it.
Getting around
Work
Projects
The jobs you are doing, each with a real folder behind it.
Tasks
The to-do list, and the one-line syntax that fills it in for you.
Time
Timers, what makes an hour billable, and how it reaches an invoice.
Calendar
Blocks, tasks with due dates, and what your week actually holds.
Notes
Markdown files in your workspace, not rows in a database.
Business
Business plan
Attach the plan you have, or answer questions and let SoloWork write one.
Clients
Who you work for, what stage they are at, and where they came from.
Invoices and quotes
Raising them, getting paid, and chasing what is late.
Marketing
Basic+Five tabs: what you plan, what you write, what you spend, and what it returned.
Goals
Targets measured from your real numbers rather than ticked off by hand.
Finance
What came in, what went out, and what to put aside for tax.
Library
The task line, in full
One line, typed the way you’d say it. The parser takes the date, the project and the client out of the sentence and leaves the rest as the task.
The whole syntax, in the Tasks guide →due Friday · client Harbourside
