Add entries and context

Lotti uses one Add menu for the things you capture during the day. Open it from the journal for a standalone entry, or from a task to keep the new entry attached to that task.

Production Add menu over the Inspect orbital penguin habitat task, with Checklist, Task, Audio Recording, Timer, Text Entry, Import Image, and Screenshot actions

Choose the entry that matches the material

ActionUse it for
ChecklistA short set of concrete steps inside the current task
TaskA separate outcome that needs its own status and context
Audio RecordingA voice note that can be replayed or transcribed
TimerA timed work session linked to the current context
Text EntryNotes, decisions, observations, or pasted information
Import ImageAn existing image from the device
ScreenshotA new desktop screenshot attached as an image entry

The menu is contextual. Checklist is available when a task can own the items, while device-specific actions such as Screenshot only appear where the platform supports them.

Keep context with the work

When you open Add from a task, Lotti links the new entry back to that task. That keeps recordings, notes, images, and time records together on the task detail page. Use a standalone journal entry when the material does not belong to a specific outcome yet; it can be linked later.

See Record audio for capture and transcription, or Work with tasks for task structure, cover art, and task links.
