Managing Tags

Tags are a cross-module classification system used to categorize todos and sticky notes in YYNote. They are the foundation of how you organize and filter content across the product.

Core Features:

  • Create custom tags (e.g., “Work”, “Personal”, “Important”)
  • Each todo or sticky note can have multiple tags (many-to-many)
  • Tags control what appears in todo lists, sticky note lists, schedule lists, and calendar boards
  • Lists (Boards) are tag-based filters — they display items whose tags match the filter rule

Paths:

  • PC: SettingsTags → New
  • App: MyTags → New

You can rename or recolor an existing tag at any time.

Paths:

  • PC: SettingsTags → Click the tag to edit
  • App: MyTags → Tap the tag to edit

Deleting a tag removes it from all todos and sticky notes. Items that had only this tag will no longer be classified by it.

Paths:

  • PC: SettingsTags → Delete on the tag
  • App: MyTags → Delete on the tag

Tags work across the following modules:

ModuleHow Tags Apply
Todo ListFilter which todos are displayed based on tag rules
Sticky Note ListFilter which sticky notes are displayed based on tag rules
Schedule List (PC)Filter which scheduled items are displayed based on tag rules
Calendar View Board (PC)Filter which calendar items are displayed based on tag rules

Since tags are many-to-many, a single todo can have “Work” and “Important” tags simultaneously, appearing in both “Work” and “Important” lists.
