Undo
⌘ Z takes back the last reversible action for about six seconds. A toast offers the same thing with a button, for people who do not think in keyboard shortcuts.

The actions people take by accident. After each one a toast appears with an Undo button, and ⌘ Z does the same thing.
- Completing a task, and marking one active again
- Adding a task from Quick Capture. A task added from a Horizon column is not undoable, because that add takes a different path with no undo entry behind it.
- Deleting a single task
- Moving a task to another project
- Clearing a recurrence rule
- Bulk-completing a selection
About six seconds, and one action deep. There is a single undo slot holding the most recent thing you did, and it expires with the toast that offered it.
That is deliberate. This is a safety net for the click you did not mean, not a version history, and an undo stack that reaches back further would invite people to rely on it as one.
Watch out
Bulk delete is the one action with no undo at all, which is why it stops and asks first. For anything you might want back later, archive rather than delete, and keep an export.

Multi-select and bulk actions
Select any set of tasks and complete, move, re-date, re-prioritize, delete, or copy them out as Markdown in one go.
The archive
Finished projects go here instead of being deleted. Restore any of them in one click, or delete permanently once you are certain.
Quick Capture
⌘ K from anywhere opens a capture box that wins even while you are typing somewhere else. One field and Enter by default, with everything else a switch away.
