Quick add and shortcuts
Quick add
Type a whole task in one line; a long one wraps and the box grows, so it stays easy to read and fix. What PeckList recognises turns into a chip on the line under the text as you type and comes out of the title; the cross on a chip keeps those words as plain text instead.
