Filters & Tags

Custom Tags #

Tags are your personal organization system. Unlike GitHub labels, tags:

  • Stay completely local on your Mac
  • Never sync to GitHub
  • Work across all repositories
  • Can be applied manually or automatically

Creating Tags #

  1. Open Tags from the menu (Cmd+Ctrl+T)
  2. Click New Tag
  3. Enter a name and choose from 8 pastel colors
  4. Click Save

Applying Tags #

Manually:

  • In issue detail view, click the Tag button
  • Right-click an issue card and select from your tags

Automatically:

  • Create an automatic filter with a “Apply tag” action

Viewing Tagged Issues #

The Tagged dashboard shows all tagged issues across repositories. Use the filter to view specific tags.


Automatic Filters #

Automatic filters categorize incoming issues based on rules you define. When issues are fetched, matching filters apply their actions automatically.

Creating a Filter #

  1. Open Filters from the menu (Ctrl+F)
  2. Click New Filter
  3. Define your conditions and action
  4. Click Save

Filter Conditions #

Build conditions using:

FieldDescription
AuthorGitHub username of issue creator
TitleIssue title text
BodyIssue description text
RepositoryRepository name
LabelGitHub label name

Operators #

OperatorDescription
EqualsExact match
IncludesContains the text

Condition Logic #

Combine multiple conditions with:

  • Any of - Matches if any condition is true (OR)
  • All of - Matches only if all conditions are true (AND)
  • None of - Matches only if no conditions are true (NOR)

Filter Actions #

When an issue matches a filter:

ActionEffect

  • Condition: Author includes “bot”
  • Action: Ignore

Tag security issues:

  • Action: Apply tag “Security”

Watch issues mentioning your project:

Filter Evaluation #

  • All matching filters apply (they compose, not compete)
  • Filters run when issues are fetched
  • Existing issues aren’t retroactively filtered
