Use Sleep to Temporarily Hide Tasks

This article explains how to use the Sleep feature to temporarily hide tasks. When you set Sleep on a task you don’t need to work on right now, it disappears from your task list and automatically reappears at the specified date and time.

Set Sleep on a Task

1. Display the task you want to put to sleep in the task list or task detail screen.
2. Click the moon icon (🌙).
3. Select a Sleep duration.

Sleep Duration Options

Option	Description
Tomorrow	Returns at the start time of the next day
In 1 Week	Returns at the start time 7 days later
In 1 Month	Returns at the start time 1 month later
Someday	Indefinite Sleep (hidden until manually cleared)
Pick a Date	Choose any date from the calendar

4. Once selected, Sleep is set on the task and it disappears from the list.
