Todos in Clamly give you a lightweight but flexible task list built for students. Capture everything from readings and assignments to revision sessions, then sort and organize them so the most important work always rises to the top.

​
Creating a task

1

Open Todos

Click Todos in the sidebar. Your task list opens, showing all current and completed tasks.
2

Add a New Task

Click Add Task or press the keyboard shortcut shown at the top of the list. Type the name of your task and press Enter to save it quickly, or keep filling in details before saving.
3

Set a Priority Level

Assign a priority. See Priority levels below for what each option means. Higher-priority tasks surface visually so you can spot them at a glance.
4

Add a Due Date

Click the calendar icon on the task and pick a date and optionally a time. Tasks with due dates are sorted and highlighted to warn you as deadlines approach.
5

Choose a Color

Assign a color label for visual grouping. Use colors to represent subjects, project types, or urgency levels. Whatever system works.

​
Priority levels

High Priority

For tasks that are urgent or have the most impact on your grades. These display prominently at the top of your list.

Medium Priority

The default level for most tasks. Important but not immediately critical.

Low Priority

Nice-to-do tasks that can wait if something more pressing comes up.
Be honest with your priorities. If everything is High, nothing is. Treat High priority as “I must do this today” and reserve it for truly urgent tasks.

​
Color coding

Color labels let you build a visual layer of organization on top of priorities and due dates. Some ideas for a color system:
  • One color per subject: quickly see which subject has the most tasks piling up.
  • One color per type: for example, red for assessments, blue for readings, green for revision sessions.
  • Urgency-based: use a consistent “needs attention” color for anything you’ve been putting off.
To change a task’s color, click the color dot on the task card and select a new color from the palette.

​
Reordering with drag and drop

Your task list order is fully under your control. Grab any task by its drag handle (the icon on the left side of the task card) and drag it up or down to change its position.
Drag-and-drop order takes precedence over automatic sorting. If you manually position a task, it stays where you put it until you move it again.
This is useful when priority alone doesn’t capture the exact order you want, for example when two High-priority tasks need to be done in a specific sequence.

​
Completing and removing tasks

1

Mark a Task Complete

Click the checkbox to the left of any task to mark it as done. The task moves to the Completed section at the bottom of your list and is struck through for visual clarity.
2

Review Completed Tasks

Completed tasks stay visible until you remove them, so you can look back at what you’ve accomplished.
3

Delete a Task

To permanently remove a task, click the ⋯ icon on the task card and select Delete. Deleted tasks cannot be recovered.
Clear your completed tasks at the start of each week to keep your list clean and give yourself a fresh view of what’s actually still outstanding.
