Accepted Answer

Question 9

Can I create folders to organize my lists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the sidebar, hover over the Lists section, click the '+' menu and choose 'New Folder'. Drag any list onto the folder to move it in. Available on the Free plan.

Question 10

Can I create subfolders (folders inside folders) for lists?

Accepted Answer

Not yet — list folders today are one level deep. For deeper hierarchy you have three workarounds: (1) use Tags, which work across every list and beat nesting in most cases, (2) split a list into Sections (e.g. 'Backlog / Doing / Done'), or (3) use LemNotes folders, which do support unlimited nesting. Nested list subfolders are on the roadmap — let support know if you'd like it prioritised.

Question 11

Do notes support nested subfolders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LemNotes folders can be nested as deeply as you like — a folder can contain other folders and notes, all the way down.

Question 12

How do I move a list between folders?

Accepted Answer

Drag the list onto the folder you want, or right-click the list and choose 'Move to folder'. To remove a list from a folder, drag it back out to the top of the sidebar.

Question 13

How do stakes work?

Accepted Answer

Set a weekly stake amount ($5-$100). If you miss your commitment threshold (e.g., 80% of committed tasks), your stake is donated to your chosen charity or sent to your accountability buddy.

Question 14

What happens if I miss my commitment threshold?

Accepted Answer

Your staked amount is automatically transferred to your selected charity (Red Cross, UNICEF, etc.) or your accountability buddy. It's designed to create real consequences that motivate action.

Question 15

Which charities can I donate to?

Accepted Answer

LemTask partners with 5 pre-configured charities: Red Cross, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, WWF, and Local Food Banks. We're adding more options soon.

Question 16

How do I invite an accountability buddy?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Accountability → Buddies. Send an email invite or share your unique buddy link. When they accept, you can see each other's daily tasks.

Question 17

What can my buddy see about my progress?

Accepted Answer

Buddies can see your today's tasks and completion status, your current streak, and your XP/level. They cannot see your full task history or notes.

Question 18

How is execution health calculated?

Accepted Answer

Execution health = (Completed commitments ÷ Total commitments) × 100. It's calculated weekly and tracks your follow-through rate over time.

Question 19

Can I disable stakes if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can pause or cancel stakes anytime from Settings → Accountability. Active stakes complete their current week before stopping.

Accepted Answer

Go to Teams in the sidebar, click 'Create Team', name it, and optionally add a description. You'll get an invite link to share instantly with teammates.

Open any task, click the team icon, select your team, then choose which members to assign. They'll be notified automatically and see the task in their assigned view.

How do invite links work?

Accepted Answer

Each team has a unique invite link. Share it with anyone – when they click it, they'll join as a Member. Links don't expire but can be regenerated in team settings.

Question 24

How does team chat and activity work?

Accepted Answer

The Activity tab shows all team actions – completions, assignments, new members. The Chat tab is for quick team discussions. Everyone in the team can see messages.

Question 25

Why can't I see tasks assigned to me?

Accepted Answer

Tasks assigned to you now appear in your Today, Inbox, and Upcoming views automatically. If you're missing assigned tasks, try refreshing the page. Look for the team badge to distinguish them from personal tasks.

Question 26

What's the difference between 'owned' and 'assigned' tasks?

Accepted Answer

Owned tasks are ones you created for yourself. Assigned tasks are created by a teammate and delegated to you. You can complete, update, and manage both, but only the task owner can delete it.

Question 27

When I create a team task, who gets assigned?
