Journal

Journal is your long-term record of all tasks you've worked on or planned. Where the daily recap focuses on the last few days and includes issues and events, Journal provides a task-only archive.

Planned tasks

At the top of the Journal view you'll always see your currently planned tasks. This section helps you keep track of what's coming up without switching to your recap.

Task history

Below your planned tasks, Journal shows all tasks you've completed or updated, grouped by day. The list is paginated and contains up to 100 tasks at a time.

Refreshing your tasks

Use the reload button to update your task list. New tasks flow in automatically, but refreshing gives you the latest state on demand.

Creating initiatives

You can create initiatives from the Recap, Backlog, or Roadmap. When creating an initiative, you can switch to Writer mode — describe the work, answer follow-up questions, and One Horizon turns the session into a structured initiative brief. For the full guided writing flow, see Roadmap.

Creating custom tasks

You can create custom tasks directly in Journal. These behave exactly like captured tasks and can be managed the same way.

Managing tasks

Tasks can be dragged between days, reordered within a day, renamed, edited, or deleted. Status changes are supported for open, planned, review, blocked, completed, and cancelled.

When a task is marked as completed, the AI rewrites its title in past tense. Tasks can also be split into multiple tasks if you want to break down a task into smaller tasks. You can also start a Slack discussion with your team by clicking the "Discuss in Slack" button.

Drag and drop reordering is stable and reliable, with improved handling to prevent race conditions that could lose changes.

Task details

Each task has two ways to open it:

• Select — click a task row to open its details in a side panel.
• Open details — navigates to a dedicated details page for the task.

Selecting a task opens a sidebar with its details: title, description, labels, source, and metadata.

Task comments

Tasks support threaded comments. Each comment displays a small badge showing where it was created: dashboard for comments added in the web app, mcp for comments created by an AI assistant through the MCP server, or gateway for comments submitted via the API. The badge is set at creation time and stays fixed — editing a comment does not change its source.
