Frequently Asked Questions about Pile

Does Pile parse due dates and priorities from natural language input?

Yes. You can write a task in a single line like "fix homepage bug tomorrow high priority" and Pile's natural language processing extracts the due date, priority level, and task text automatically. Tags work the same way; just include them inline and Pile parses them out.

Can I use Pile with just keyboard shortcuts?

The interface is keyboard-first by design. You can navigate with j and k keys, open a command palette, and move through tasks and views without touching the mouse. This makes it fast for people who work quickly or need to minimize friction in their workflow.

Does Pile send reminders and notifications?

No. Pile deliberately avoids angry badges and nagging notifications. It does show overdue and snoozed tasks in focused views so you can check in on your own terms, and it has a snooze feature to defer tasks guilt-free.

Is Pile actually free to use?

Yes. Pile is free forever with no ads and no paid tier. There are no limitations on the number of tasks, projects, or languages you can use.
