The whole point of Tyto is that the first thing you do shouldn't feel like setup.
Steps
- Hit "Add task" in the sidebar. The quick-add form slides in.
- Type what needs doing. Just the title — "Send the spring brief to Sarah."
- Tap the buttons for the fields that matter. The form reads as a sentence: For [assignee] in [project] starting [date] lasting [duration] priority [icon]. Click any of those pills, pick a value, move on.
- Submit. The task lands in My Tasks.
The first task you make is yours. No one else sees it yet — you haven't put it on a project. We'll get there in step 3 of this track. For now, treat My Tasks as your private inbox.
A note on dates
The date picker is the one place you can type plain English. Type "tomorrow", "next monday", "every friday", or a time like "3pm" — the picker understands those and applies the right pattern. Everywhere else, click to pick.
