Contexts are essentially tags, but named as such to encourage you towards certain use cases.

Contexts can represent people (e.g. “Dad”, “Mom”, “Boss”), places (e.g. “Work”, “Home”, “Computer”), or functions (“Call”, “Email”).

Actions and captures can be associated with multiple contexts. This will be useful to form Agendas, which can be used to filter items relevant to a specific set of contexts.

For example, using contexts allows you to configure your Now agenda to filter out items that are not relevant/possible in your current situation.

Stay tuned!

In the future, you would also be able to save frequently used filters as new agendas for quick access.
