What it is

Quick log is the core interaction in Znift. Cmd+L (or Ctrl+L on Windows/Linux) opens a single input. You type what you did or what you need to do, press enter, and it’s recorded. No forms, no second screen, no extra clicks.

​
When to use it

Use quick log in the moment — the second after you finish a task, or the second you think of one. The whole interaction is designed to be faster than reaching for your mouse, so the cost of capturing something is low enough that you’ll actually do it.

​
How to use it

  1. Press Cmd+L (macOS) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux) from any screen in the app.
  2. Type the task. Example: Review PR #412.
  3. Press Enter to save.
After the task exists, open it to add a duration, due time, or priority — those fields are set in the task edit dialog. See Natural time input for the accepted formats. To log a task as already completed (useful at end of day), press Space while the task is selected. Priority is set with 1 (High), 2 (Medium), 3 (Low), or 0 to clear while the task is focused. Press Mod+/ in the app for the full list of shortcuts.

​
Example

“Just merged the auth refactor. Need to log that and check sentry later.”
Press Cmd+L from wherever you are. Type Merged auth refactor. Enter. Press Cmd+L again. Type Check sentry for new errors. Enter. Open that second task and set a due time of 3pm in the edit dialog. Two tasks captured, back to building.
