Getting Started
Try root in one small loop.
The fastest way to understand root is to capture something rough, turn one line into an open task, reuse one snippet, hand off a small packet, and export a backup.
Inbox first
Open Tasks
Export early
Install
Start with the Chrome extension
Install root from the Chrome Web Store, then open a new tab. Pin the extension if you want Quick Capture close by while you work in the browser.
First loop
Use the pieces in order
- Capture into InboxOpen Quick Capture and append one rough thought, link, or follow-up into Inbox.
- Add one taskWrite a checklist line like
- [ ] follow up tomorrow, then open Open Tasks. - Shape one itemCreate or edit one normal item so the useful text has a calmer place to live outside Inbox.
- Save one SnippetSave a reusable prompt, reply, or instruction you expect to paste again.
- Try Context HandoffChoose a small item or project slice, add a saved prompt if helpful, preview it, then copy only when it looks right.
- Export a backupOpen Last backup and export a full library copy somewhere outside the browser.
Keep it small
Do not organize too early
Inbox is allowed to be rough. Use Open Tasks for unfinished lines, Snippets for reusable text, and Context Handoff when something needs to leave root. Tags can come later when a pattern is real.
