Create Your First Project
Projects are the top-level containers in Planelo. A clean project setup makes everything else easier: browsing, filtering, and keeping your focused mind calm.
What a Project is
A Project is a context — a dedicated space where related ideas live. It's not just a task list; it's a bucket for your thinking.
Good project names
- Planelo iOS App
- Marketing Q1
- Side Project: Indie Journal
- Life Admin & Goals
What it isn't
Avoid creating a project for every tiny feature. If a project has only 2 ideas forever, it's likely too granular.
Avoid
Don't treat projects like status tags (e.g., "Active", "Later"). Use the built-in status field for that!

Every project needs a core. Copy this template into your Project Brain to set the foundation.
