What is My library?

My library is where all your CROSSNote content lives.

It brings together everything you have created, captured, planned, or saved in one structured place.

This includes tasks, notes, ideas, records, projects, attachments, calendar-linked items, and items that are not scheduled at all.

A task may appear in My day because it is scheduled.

It may appear in My ideas and to-dos because it is bookmarked.

It may appear in My priority because of its importance or urgency.

But every CROSSNote record is always kept in My library.

This means you do not have to remember which screen you used, whether something was scheduled, or where you originally created it.

The Library is where you can always return to find the full structure of your life in CROSSNote.

A structure that grows with you

My library is organized through a simple hierarchy:

Areas
Lists or projects
Tasks and records
Subtasks or linked tasks

Areas represent the larger parts of your life, such as work, health, family, education, relationships, finances, personal life, or creative projects.

Inside each area, you can create lists or projects.

Inside those lists, you can keep tasks, notes, ideas, records, and other items.

A task can also contain subtasks or be connected to other related tasks, helping you keep complex work, long-term projects, and personal responsibilities together without losing the relationship between them.

Areas

Areas help you see the larger parts of your life.

They are not only folders.

They give context to what you are doing.

For example, a task may belong to Work, Health/Leisure, Family / Partner, Education, or a personal project area you create yourself.

This makes it easier to understand not only what you need to do, but also which part of your life is asking for attention.

You can choose which areas or projects you want to see, rename them, and adjust their colors so the Library reflects the way you naturally think about your life.

Lists and projects

Inside each area, lists help you organize related content.

A list may represent a project, a recurring responsibility, a topic, a person, a place, or any other structure that makes sense to you.

For example, you may have one list for a work project, another for healthcare, another for climbing training, and another for ideas you are still exploring.

Lists do not need to be perfect from the beginning.

You can create them when they help, change them later, or leave items unassigned until you are ready to decide where they belong.

Tasks, records, and related content

A task in CROSSNote can be much more than a title on a checklist.

It can include notes, recordings, photos, drawings, files, links, calendar information, tags, subtasks, and other context connected to the same item.

This helps you keep information close to the action, project, or moment it belongs to.

Instead of spreading a task across a calendar app, notes app, voice recorder, photo library, and separate task manager, CROSSNote lets you keep the related material together.

Some tasks may be simple.

Others may become rich records of a project, a conversation, a decision, an experience, or a part of your life you want to remember.

Scheduled and unscheduled items

Not everything in My library needs to have a time or date.

Some records are scheduled and appear in My day because they belong to a specific moment, day, or calendar event.

Other records are unscheduled. They may be ideas, future tasks, notes, long-term projects, things you want to remember, or items you are not ready to plan yet.

Both kinds belong equally in the Library.

This matters because life is not made only of appointments and deadlines.

Some things need a place before they need a time.

Recent items and deadline tasks

At the top of My library, you can access useful views such as Recent and Deadline tasks.

The Recent view helps you return to the things you have been working on or interacting with recently.

The Deadline tasks view helps you keep track of tasks that have a due date, even when they are not scheduled into a specific hour of your calendar.

These views give you faster ways to find what may need attention without losing the broader structure of your Library.

Capture first, organize later

My library is designed to support real life, not perfect organization.

You can capture something quickly and decide later where it belongs.

A task or record does not need to have an area, list, date, or final structure before it becomes useful.

You may leave it under No list, keep it bookmarked in My ideas and to-dos, or return to organize it when you have more time, clarity, or energy.

The goal is not to create a flawless system.

It is to make sure that what matters has somewhere safe to live.

One place for your whole life

My library is the place where all the different parts of CROSSNote come together.

Your day shows what is happening now.

Your ideas keep important things visible.

Your priorities help you decide what deserves attention.

Your health data helps you understand your body and regulation.

Your Library keeps the complete picture.

It is the place where your tasks, plans, memories, projects, and personal records remain connected over time.
