Magic Arrow is back! Add actions, notes and files to the top and... bottom

Michael   Wednesday, January 6

Back in the Nozbe Classic days we’ve had a Magic Arrow – a feature almost no one knew about since it was placed in a little unfortunate spot.

We didn’t implement it in Nozbe 2.0 but I was missing the arrow… or rather missing the solution the arrow gave me to this problem:

What if I sometimes want to add my actions to the TOP and sometimes to the BOTTOM of my list?

When you add an action in Nozbe, it goes by default to the top of the list. And usually it’s good. But sometimes not really.

Magic Arrow changes direction

Just click to “add action” in Nozbe and you’ll see a new arrow on the left side of the input box:

By default the arrow is pointing “upwards” to let you know that the action you’re about to add will appear on top of your task list.

Click on the Magic Arrow to change direction!

When you click on the arrow, it magically changes into an arrow pointing “downwards”:

Now every action you add appears at the bottom of the list. Like magic!

Additional cool things about the Magic Arrow:

  • It works for actions, notes and files so you can decide if you want to add stuff to the top or to the bottom of your list
  • It works across Projects, Contexts and Next Actions – full flexibility there!
  • It all happens with a click of the mouse, no settings, no additional clicks, you decide when stuff goes up and when it goes down

Hope you like our Magic Arrow

We’ll be brining lots of refinements and cool features you’ve been asking us about over the course of January to make sure you can get a lot done right at the beginning of this new year.

Happy New Year (and a productive one at that) everyone!

Groovy – an easy way to place items within my list, useful for my Sunday Brain Dump. Easy, simple list priority ‘as it happens’ in my head!

Thanks guys – this was our point – to make it simple, so that it doesn’t stand out, but we really wanted to add this extra piece of functionality. Thanks!
