Contexts in Pocket Informant give you another way to organize and find related tasks. While Projects can group tasks by a larger goal or area of your life, Contexts can identify where, when, or under what circumstances a task can be completed.

For example, you might create Contexts such as:

• Home
• Work
• Errands
• Phone Calls
• Frank's Fresh Market

How Contexts Work

Let's say you regularly shop at a grocery store called Frank's Fresh Market.

You may have several tasks related to that store, even though those tasks belong to different Projects or have different due dates.

By assigning the Frank's Fresh Market Context to each of those tasks, you can quickly view everything you need to do there in one place.

In Pocket Informant, open the Task View, group your tasks by Context, and select Frank's Fresh Market. You'll see all tasks assigned to that Context, regardless of their Project or due date.

This makes it easy to see everything you can take care of while you're at that location without searching through multiple Projects or task lists.

Using Locations with Contexts on iOS

On iOS, Pocket Informant also allows you to assign a specific location to a Context.

For example, you could associate the Frank's Fresh Market Context with the store's physical location. Pocket Informant can then alert you when you're near that location, reminding you that you have tasks you can complete there.

This can be especially useful for Contexts based on places you visit regularly, such as:

• Grocery stores
• Work
• Home
• The pharmacy
• The bank
• Other frequently visited locations

Syncing Contexts

Contexts can be synced using Pocket Informant Sync or Toodledo.

In Pocket Informant, open the Task View, group your tasks by Context, and select The Food Place. You'll see all tasks assigned to that Context, regardless of their Project or due date.

This makes it easy to see everything you can take care of while you're at that location without searching through multiple Projects or task lists.
