Create Tasks And Notes From Selected Text

Create task or note from selected text

Capture ideas without breaking your flow. Select any text in a task or note description, and instantly turn it into a new task or note.

#How It Works

  • Select text in any task or note description
  • Click the new buttons that appear at the end of the selection toolbar
  • For tasks: Choose a project, then click Create Task
  • For notes: Click once to create immediately

The new item opens automatically so you can continue working on it right away.

#Smart Content Handling

t0ggles detects whether your selection is simple text or rich content:

  • Short, plain text (under 100 characters) becomes the title of the new task or note
  • Longer or formatted content (paragraphs, lists, code blocks) becomes the description, with an auto-generated title like "From Original Task Name"

This means you can select a quick action item and turn it into a task title, or grab an entire section of notes and preserve all the formatting in the new item's description.

#Why This Matters

When you're deep in planning or documentation, ideas for follow-up tasks pop up constantly. Instead of switching context to create a new task and copy-pasting content, you can now capture those ideas in two clicks without losing your place.

Perfect for breaking down large tasks during sprint planning, extracting action items from meeting notes, or spinning off related topics while writing documentation.
