Check out a video walkthrough showing projects and areas in Space
Get introduced to projects and areas in Space.
The difference between projects and areas
An area represents an ongoing part of your life, or a role you play. Like “work”, “family” or “marketing”. A project on the other hand, is finite. It has a clear outcome in mind and you’re working towards a day where you can mark the project complete and close it.Creating new projects and areas
You can create a new project or area from the File menu, or from + button at the bottom of the sidebar. When you hover over that +, a menu will pop up.

Organising tasks in projects and areas
At first glance, a project or area might look exactly like the inbox — but that is not the case. One superpower that projects and areas have is groups. Groups allow you to create structure. A group has a name, and you can drag tasks into it.

Project progress and completion
As you check tasks off, you’ll notice the process pie fills up. This provides a visual indicator of the progress of your project.

Area emoji
Areas can have an emoji, to give them some color. You can set an emoji using the … menu or (on Mac) by clicking the icon. Double clicking the icon removes the emoji.
