Hi Kira. I agree, it's a great app. I always give this caveat: everyone using MLO is smart, so if I misunderstood your question, be patient.
ANSWER: When I create a custom view I check (or uncheck) "Include closed contexts". By doing so, I only see tasks with open contexts. That said, I DO recognize that you are asking for "active" tasks! So, if it's closed, how can it be active at the same time? I say, try my idea, and if it works, perfect. Then toast that we (haha actually YOU) found something illogical. Feel free to reply if you need something else from me or anyone else. Have a good week, Michael Emerald ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Kira Z <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 4, 2025 18:10 To: MyLifeOrganized <[email protected]> Subject: [MLO] Filter custom view by context hours? Hi all, I am trying to generate a more filtered version of my "Active Actions" view to reflect just the things I'm planning on doing today. I noticed that if I create a custom view and filter it by Active, it shows items with closed context hours (e.g., if it's 9pm, the Active Actions view will correctly hide all tasks with the @BusinessHours context, but they will still show up in my filtered list). Is this a bug or intended behavior? Is there any way around this? Also, while we're at it, is there a way to filter by location, or does that feature only do notifications? I almost never want to be alerted that I got home and I better vacuum, but it'd be convenient if I didn't have to see tasks I couldn't do based on location in my filter views. I know I can filter them out manually, but I'm trying to generate a view that takes as little work as possible to upkeep, and MLO already has the data! Nitpicks aside it's an incredible app - I've been searching for ages for a todolist that agrees with my that the primary function of such a list should be showing you only the things you actually can and will do. I'm primarily on Android, most recent version. This is a crosspost from reddit, since it doesn't look like that community is particularly active :) Thanks, Kira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
