Concepts

Containers, Projects & Tasks

The core structure in MONOid is:

Containers → Projects → Tasks

• Containers hold groups of projects (e.g. Work, Studio, Home).
• Projects live inside containers and represent ongoing efforts with outcomes.
• Tasks are the concrete actions that move things forward. A task can optionally belong to a project, or exist independently (e.g. standalone to-dos).

This structure keeps planning simple: you always know where something belongs and why it exists — but you're not forced to assign every task to a project before you can work with it.

In organisation workspaces, you can also use Teams to group members and apply container/project access in bulk. See Teams.

Routine Blocks

Routine Blocks live on the week and define the structure of your time — the recurring modes you want your week to follow (e.g. Deep Work, Admin, Meetings).

A Routine Block has two main jobs:

1. Allowed Projects
   Each block can be configured with which projects are allowed inside it.

2. Task Assignment
   Tasks are assigned into Routine Blocks so your plan becomes schedulable and intentional — not just a list.

Reviews

Reviews are the reflection layer that keeps your system honest and adaptable.

MONOid supports reviews across multiple time horizons:

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Quarterly
• Annual

Use reviews to close loops, reset priorities, and make sure your projects and tasks stay aligned with what you actually want to do.

Planning Surfaces

MONOid has a few core "surfaces" for planning and sorting tasks. They work together:

Calendar (Weekly + Daily)

The main calendar view is where planning becomes real.

• Toggle between Weekly and Daily views
• The left panel shows upcoming tasks to be planned
• The right panel shows backlog tasks

This view is designed for shaping the week: pulling tasks in, assigning them into the right time structure, and keeping the plan believable.

My Inbox (Unscheduled Tasks)

My Inbox is where tasks land when they aren't scheduled yet.

Use it to quickly sort:

• what should be planned this week
• what belongs in the backlog
• what needs reassignment to a different project

My Tasks (All Tasks)

My Tasks shows all tasks in a flow-oriented format.

It's useful when you want to:

• manage task status across projects
• spot bottlenecks
• get a high-level sense of progress without the calendar

AI and Agents

MONOid supports agent-assisted work in two ways:

• Agent deeplinks (desktop app): send task + linked context to local tools from Open in AI coder.
• Task agent assignment: assign an agent integration to a task and choose run mode (Run now or Run on routine block).

See AI and Agents for details.

Index Pages (Lists, Filters, Display Config)

Each major entity (Containers, Projects, Tasks, Routine Blocks, Reviews) has an index page that supports:

• List view
• Filtering
• Display configuration (choose which properties you see and how they're shown)

This makes it easy to zoom out, reorganize, and inspect your system without needing to be inside the calendar.
