Tags & People #

Tags and mentions (people) work exactly as they do on Twitter. They are used to link bullets to the given item. You can then easily open the page of a tag or person and see all bullets that mention them. You will also get amazing stats, e.g. on which weekday you use a certain tag most or when was the first time you mentioned someone.

And there is more, keep reading...

Do more / less #

PRO feature

Do more or less is a way to indicate whether you want to increase or decrease the usage of a certain tag. It can also be interpreted as which tags are good and which tags are bad. For instance, you might want to increase your usage of the tag #surfing, but decrease the usage of #sick.

You can set the do more / less status by opening a tag and going to the details tab. Once you have selected either of the two the tag will be highlighted everywhere in blue (more) or orange (less).

Pins #

Pins give you convenient 30-day timelines for Tags and Tag groups in your Reflect stream. Have a look at the Reflect section for details.

People #

Currently, there is no special functionality for People that is not also available for tags.

Aliases #

Aliases help you avoid duplication of tags and people when you use different variations of a word with the same meaning or its plural, e.g. #surf, #surfin, and #surfing, or @Tom and @Tommy.

Just add the different variations as an alias to the main one and they will behave like a single tag/person in lists and statistics.

Use aliases only for synonyms of the same tag, or person respectively. If you want to group different tags/people together for combined insights, e.g. #running and #gym into "workout", use groups instead.

Groups #

Groups come in handy if you want to keep track of a category of different tags or people. For instance, if you want to get stats and insights on your "exercising" routine you could group #bball, #running, and #workout together. Or you combine @Mam, @Dad, and @Bro as "family".

Groups are meant to aggregate conceptually different tags and people to get more meaningful insights. To link tags/people that refer to essentially the same thing or person, use aliases instead.

Auto-tagging/mentioning #

It is possible to automatically tag things and mention people without having to type the # and @ symbols. This can also be useful to make sure that you do not forget to tag/mention items and thereby distort stats.

You can turn auto-tagging/mentioning on/off in App settings for each of the modules separately. In the future, it might even be possible to set the behavior on a per tag/person level.
