# Filter tasks and save your own views

> See All tasks and Completed, filter Inbox, Today, Upcoming and your views by label, priority, date and more, and save the filters as a view with Pro.

A view is a list of tasks that match a set of filters, such as every high-priority task due this week. Heym comes with a few views, gives each label its own list, and lets you filter Inbox, Today and Upcoming. This page covers all of them, how to save your own views, and six views worth setting up.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Built-in views, label lists and filters are free. Saving your own views is part of Heym Pro. [Compare plans](/help/plans.md).

## The Views page

Click **Views** in the sidebar, or press **G** then **V**.

![The Views page with a Personal views section listing All tasks and Completed, and a Labels section listing the Focus label](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/views-list.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=e0084717181bd0f1b55e869e995faa5f)

The Views page

**Personal views** holds the built-in views and the views you save. **Labels** lists one view per [label](/help/labels.md), showing the open tasks with that label.

| View | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **All tasks** | Every open task, from every list, in one place |
| **Completed** | Every task you have completed, grouped by the day you completed it. A repeating task is listed only once you [complete it forever](/help/repeating-tasks.md#stop-a-repeating-task). **G** then **C** opens it |
| **Assigned to me** | Shared tasks assigned to you. It's listed once you've accepted something someone [shared](/help/sharing.md) with you |

Views show tasks only, not habits or notes.

## Filter a view

**1. Open a view**

For example, **All tasks**.

**2. Open the filters**

Click the filter icon at the top right. A filter bar opens with a list of things to filter by.

![The filter bar's list of things to filter by: Label, Life area, Goal, Project, Priority, Date, Duration, Status, Shared and Assignee](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/add-filter-menu.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=df55770712b71a8dcb17a7e92d4e4c66)

**3. Pick what to filter by, then a value**

Choose, for example, **Priority**, then **High**. You can pick several values. The list updates right away.

**4. Add more filters**

Click **+** in the filter bar to add another one.

![All tasks filtered by Priority is High and Date before 1 week from now, with Reset and Save as new view in the filter bar and the first matching tasks, Renew passport and Draft the Q4 offsite agenda, below](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/filtered-view.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=6fda6edce71a93688d6b3a51f712aa8d)

Two filters on All tasks

Each filter appears in the bar as a short sentence, like **Priority** **is** **High**. Click the middle word to switch between **is** and **is not** (with several values, **is any of** and **is none of**), click the value to change it, and click **×** to remove the filter. **Reset** puts the view back the way it was.

Filters and settings you change on **All tasks**, **Completed** or a label's list are not stored. They're gone when you leave the page or reload Heym. To keep them, save them as a view (Pro).

How filters combine:

* Several values in one filter match any of them: **Label** **is any of** Errands, Calls.
* Several filters must all match: **Priority** **is** **High** and **Date** **before** 1 week from now.
* To find tasks that have two labels, add two **Label** filters, one for each label.

### What you can filter by

| Filter | Values |
| - | - |
| **Label** | Your labels, or **No label** |
| **Life area** | Your life areas, or **No life area**. A task counts when it belongs to the area directly or through its goal or project |
| **Goal** | Your goals, or **No goal** |
| **Project** | Your projects, or **No project** |
| **Priority** | **High**, **Medium**, **Low** or **None** |
| **Date** | **Overdue**, **1 day from now**, **3 days from now**, **1 week from now**, **1 month from now**, **3 months from now**, **Custom relative…**, **Custom date** or **No due date**. Afterwards, the middle word switches between **before**, **after**, **on**, **is set** and **is not set** |
| **Duration** | A length in minutes or hours, compared with **=**, **≠**, **>**, **\<**, **≥** or **≤**, or **is set** and **is not set** |
| **Status** | **Completed**. With it, the view shows completed tasks instead of open ones |
| **Shared** | **My tasks** or **Shared with me** |
| **Assignee** | **Me**, **Unassigned** or a person you share with |

The date presets such as **1 week from now** mean "before that day", so they include overdue tasks.

## Sort and group a view

Click the view settings icon, next to the filter icon.

![The view settings menu with Sort set to Manual, Group set to None with its options None, Life area, Goal, Priority, Date and Assignee, and Show read-only shared turned on](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/view-settings.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=2a721f5110e012d590f983bd99d6315d)

View settings, with the Group options open

| Setting | Options |
| - | - |
| **Sort** | **Manual**, **Date**, **Priority** or **Created**. Pick the same option again to reverse the order |
| **Group** | **None**, **Life area**, **Goal**, **Priority**, **Date** or **Assignee** |
| **Show read-only shared** | Turn off to hide tasks from items shared with you as view only. On by default |

## Save a view

Saving a view needs Pro. There are two ways.

**Start from scratch:**

**1. Click New view**

On the Views page, click **New view** at the top right.

![The New view page with an icon, a View name box, an Add a description box, Cancel and Save buttons, and the filter and view settings icons below](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/composer.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=2da7e7448b9d44f22e93920e66b30d7a)

**2. Name it**

Type a name, and a description if you like. Click the icon to pick another icon and color.

**3. Set the filters**

Click the filter icon in the box to add filters, and the view settings icon to sort and group. The task list below shows what the view will contain.

**4. Click Save**

The new view opens, and it's listed under **Personal views**.

**Start from a list you've filtered:** filter **All tasks**, **Completed** or a label's list, then click **Save as new view** in the filter bar. Heym saves the view and opens it with the name ready to change.

## Change or delete a saved view

Open the view and change its filters or settings. The filter bar then offers **Reset** and **Save**. Click **Save**, then **Save to this view** to update it, or **Create new view** to keep the original and save a copy.

For everything else, click **⋯** at the top right of the view:

![A saved view called High priority this week, grouped into Overdue and Today, with its ⋯ menu open showing Edit view, Copy link and Delete](https://mintcdn.com/heym/RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU/images/views/saved-view.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=RxdohfEkT1hOgZzU\&q=85\&s=5d16009677b1ec4d8e07c5b60a02ebc9)

The ⋯ menu of a saved view

* **Edit view**: change the name, description, icon and color.
* **Copy link**: copy the view's web address.
* **Delete**: delete the view. Your tasks are not affected.

To keep a view one click away, click the star at the top right to add it to your favorites in the sidebar ([Customize Heym](/help/customize.md#pin-favorites-to-the-sidebar)).

## Filter Inbox, Today and Upcoming

These lists have filters too, on every plan. Click the filter icon at the top right of the page.

| Page | You can filter by |
| - | - |
| **Inbox** | **Label**, **Priority** and **Duration** |
| **Today** and **Upcoming** | **Label**, **Life area**, **Goal**, **Project**, **Priority**, **Date** and **Duration** |

Heym keeps these filters until you remove them, also after you close Heym, so a dot on the filter icon reminds you a filter is on. The filter bar starts closed each time you open the page: click the filter icon to see the filters, then **Clear** to remove them all.

A task you add while a filter is on gets the filter's values; with **Label** **is** Errands, for example, a new task gets the Errands label. More about these pages on [Inbox, Today and Upcoming](/help/inbox-today-upcoming.md).

## Six views to set up

| View | Filters | Settings |
| - | - | - |
| High priority this week | **Priority** **is** **High**, **Date** **before** **1 week from now** | Group by **Date** |
| Quick wins | **Duration** **≤** 15 min | Sort by **Priority** |
| Not scheduled yet | **Date**: **No due date** | Group by **Life area** |
| One area of your life | **Life area** **is** Sport & Health (or any area) | Group by **Goal** |
| Untagged | **Label** **is** **No label** | Sort by **Created** |
| Overdue | **Date**: **Overdue** | Sort by **Date** |

## On the Free plan

* **All tasks**, **Completed**, **Assigned to me**, the label lists and all filters work on Free.
* **New view** and **Save as new view** open the upgrade window.
* If your Pro plan ends, your saved views stay, but they become read-only: you can open them, not change them. A note at the top of each says so. You can still delete them, and they're editable again when you upgrade. See [Free, Pro and Lifetime](/help/plans.md).
