Lists
Bookmarks
A bookmark is a pinned list. Starring does the same job for things.
Why you'd care
Most people have four or five lists they actually open and thirty they own. Bookmarks are what stop the five being buried by the thirty.
The 60-second version
Press ⌘⌥B on a list. It appears in Bookmarks, and near the top of your navigation.
Going further
Bookmarks are for lists, stars are for things. They are separate collections with separate views. See to-dos, stars and bookmarks.
Order them deliberately. Settings Lists & <i>Things</i> Bookmark sort order controls the order, and a manual order is worth setting because these are the lists you reach for without looking. Plus
Colour them. A bookmarked list can carry a colour, which makes the set recognisable at a glance. Plusfree for accounts made before July 25, 2026

Tips
- Keep it under six. A bookmarks list of twenty is the Lists view with extra steps.
- Unbookmark aggressively. A finished project should lose its pin the day it finishes.
