Commission scheme
All users start at 20% initial 1st-year-commission i.e. you will get 20% from each effective payment (refunded payments do not count) made by the referred person. In the second year of their Nozbe use, your commission will be 10% and 5% thereafter.
An Affiliate PRO (Users with commissions of over 500 USD within a given year) receives 25% commission in the 1st year; 10% in the second and 5% thereafter.
An Ambassador (a person who apart from promoting Nozbe also provides training to their clients and who has been trained in Nozbe and passed an appropriate accreditation exam) - 30% 1st-year commission; 10% in the 2nd year and 5% thereafter.
NOTE: Ambassadors have the ability to moderate their coupons for extra time from 1-3 months.
Why does the commission fall after the first payment?
The reason is quite simple. The first payment made by a recommended party is fully your doing and for a well done job one has to be rewarded. Yet, keeping the customer going and using the program is effect of cumulative work of our team. Thus the commission drops, but your initial involvement is still acknowledged by the 10% in the second year of given user's use and a steady 5% throughout their life.
This variation in rewards is also there to keep you motivated ;-D

Interface Overview
The main concept behind the interface is to provide the app content in 5 columns:
1. Icobar - it is always on the left side, it serves to switch views (inbox, projects, team, settings, etc.) in the app.
2. Sidebar - it shows up as an extension to icobar and serves to select which task list user wants to see. For example tasks:
- from project X
- tasks marked with category X
- tasks due within calendar week X
- tasks assigned to user X
- etc.
3. Task view - it is the most important view, where users spent most of the time. With its clear design it serves to concentrate on doable staff to help get more done.
4. Task details - here you can manage all parameters and comment task. It has been designed to roll out from the right edge of Task view and to cover that view up. The concept behind it is to allow user to focus on a specific task and its contents. Here the user will find everything he or she needs to get the task done.
5. Infobar - it is spliced by tabs that serves to:
- edit parameters of a task list that is currently active in the 3rd column (Task view)
- view the activity log
- manage project attachments
Nozbe also has horizontal user interface elements:
- Toolbar - here you can manually execute sync and open the infobar column
- Status bar - you can switch to edit mode and add elements to an active list here
Responsive design
Nozbe app is fully responsive and it has 3 modes of presenting user interface. It depends from app window width and the rule is applicable on all platforms.
- Desktop mode
This mode is active when app window width is higher than 1023 pixels. In this mode you can see all the 5 columns at one view. It is best mode for weekly review :) Of course it can be run on desktop machines but also on iPad in landscape mode.
Desktop mode on OS X
Desktop mode on iPad
- Hybrid mode
This mode is active when app window width is between 735 and 1023 pixels. You can always see at least 2 columns in this mode. It has been specially designed for iPhone 6 Plus landscape mode but it also works on iPad portrait mode and some Android smartphones and tablets. It is great solution for reviewing your projects on mobile devices. Of course you can also use it on your desktop, just decrease Nozbe window width.
Hybrid mode on OS X
Hybrid mode on iPhone 6 Plus:
- Mobile mode
This mode is active when app windows width is lower than 735 pixels. The “5 columns” concept is the same on mobile mode. The main difference here is that you always stay focused on a single column. You navigate between the views with taps and gestures. Here you can see how each view (column) is displayed in our mobile app:
- Icobar and Sidebar
- Task view, task details and infobar:
Basically, it runs per default on most of the smartphones. However, you can also run it on your desktop and use it as a widget.

Introduction to Inbox and Adding Tasks to Nozbe
The place to capture all the things that have to be done. All thoughts, ideas, tasks (professional or private) and all the little or big things you have to manage.
You will find your Inbox on the left side of the Nozbe window.
Just click on it and you will move to the Inbox view.
To add your first Inbox task just click on the plus button in the bottom right corner of your Nozbe app:
Now put here all the tasks you are thinking about. All to-do's, tasks, ideas, everything that comes to your mind. This way you can fully focus on your next goal. You can add text, checklist, file or picture as a task comment Under the ‘…‘ It is possible to edit the comment, pin (as the favorite one on the top of the comment list) or to create a new task with it. Comments added by you can be deleted there as well.
Task Parameters
Every task can have several parameters:
- It can belong to Inbox, or any other project
- Can be assigned to one or more categories
- You can specify time needed for the task's completion
- Can have a due date
- Can repeat every certain amount of time (day, week, month...)

When the arrow points down, tasks go to the bottom of the list:
Arrow can be set up or down when adding tasks on your iPhone or iPad as well!
Nozbe Advice: Clean Your Inbox Every Week (Inbox-Zero)
You can process your Inbox to zero by going through each and every item you have there and deciding what to do with it next: whether to move it to a different project, get it done quickly, delegate or convert to a project.
Remember: your Inbox is not a place to store your tasks. You have to make sure to process this view at least once a week and clean it up.
You can move tasks to projects by selecting them from list in popup window:
On desktop you can also:
- Show projects list
- Drag and drop task to specific project
Converting a Task to a Project with One Click
If a task seems too big, you can convert it to a project:
- You need to pick the task by selecting it
- Once it is displayed, choose the button with its current project in the details section at the top
- Scroll down to the bottom of the projects dropdown list and use the "Convert to project" button
Please note that all the comments and materials attached to your task will automatically be converted into attachments of a newly created project and you will be able to view them by choosing the paper clip icon in the icobar on the right hand side of your project view.

Short Video Overview of the Priority List in Nozbe
What's Your Priority (Next Actions) List?
Priority list is where you turn to actually start getting things done. This place is for collecting all your priority actions that need to be done next or as soon as possible. You can choose which actions to put here - just click the star on a task to make it your priority. Some tasks will be added to this list automatically (more on that later).
Priority list is the default view for Nozbe to start on when you log in, but if need be you can go to it by clicking the star icon
This is the project that this Priority task belongs to
You can see here the number of comments and all parameters set for this task, such as due date, recurring, categories set
Click this star to add/remove a task from your Priorities
According to GTD, Priorities (Next Actions) should be the next physical actions that will move your project forward. You can have multiple Priorities in a project, but be careful not to add too many. They can be filtered, for example by a category, to find the best tasks to do at a given time.
Tasks That Become Your Priority Automatically
- Starred task - a task added to the Priority view with a star
- Due or overdue task - a task with a due date set will become your Priority at the moment it is due and when it’s overdue - provided that the person responsible is you (or "anyone").
- Task delegated to you - a task delegated to you by another Nozbe user in a project you're both sharing will become your Priority instantly. This is the only way other users can "have influence" over your priority list - by delegating tasks to you. You can later decide to get the delegated task done or remove it from the priority list by removing the star associated to it.
Adding a Task to Priority List with a "#" Shortcut
When you input a task through the app or email, type #priority or #! after the task name to automatically add it to your Priority list.

Video Introduction to Categories
What are Categories?
Per description provided in David Allen’s “Getting Things Done”, categories (aka contexts) are used to categorize your tasks/actions by places, tools or people required for the task completion. One of the best examples is a “phone” which can be a tool needed to complete tasks across many projects. The basic goal for them is to allow you to group actions and do them in bundles unrelated to the project, but related to a particular person or a place or a tool used.
Categories List
Categories are right below your project list in the Nozbe menu and they work in a similar way to projects.
- Categories icon after folding the sidebar
- Filtering by name
- Edit mode (described below)
- "+" button for adding a new category
Creating a Category
There are two ways to create a category.
1. Use the "+" button on the category list
The simplest way is to create a new category directly in the list:
In the categories view (1), just click the "+" icon (2). Text input window appears at the top of the list (3).
Type now the name of the category and click "Save". Please note that per default “flag” icon is added, to change it you will need to edit this category.
2. Create a category in the task parameters view
The second way to create a new category is available when changing categories in an existing task
- Pick a task from your current view
- Click on the "Category" button in the details section
- Click „+“ in the menu
An input window at the top of the list appears. Here, we write a name: "experimental category."
- With the „+“ or „Enter“ button add this new category to the list.
- Clicking "Confirm" will add this new category to your task.
Adding or Removing a Category to/from a Task
You can add a category by simply using the hashtag formatting while creating a task. The system will automatically show you suggestions when you enter a # and a few first letters.
Please note this will only work for already existing categories and once you save the task, it will bear the given category.
The second way to add a category is by choosing one from the details (2) of a task (1).
This will require you to pick one or more categories and confirm (3) At that point, all selected categories will be added to your task.
If you wish to remove a category from the task, just go again to the details of the task, click on the button now stating given category name, unmark it on the list and confirm.
Infobar of a Category
When you choose a category from your categories list, you can see all of the tasks across all the projects with this category.
You can also edit the category information and access additional options of this view by accessing the "info bar":
- Choose a category you wish to work on
- Click/tap the "i" icon
- Access the options available for selected category
- View all of the activities under this category
Managing Categories (edit mode)
You can manage multiple categories at once in the "Edit" mode:
- Rectangle icon near the name of the category allows you to select more than one category for editing; if you pick the rectangle at the top near no.1 you will choose all
- Triple line, grab a category by it to drag and drop it
- Delete selected categories
- Change/edit your category's icon or color
- Allows you to sort categories alphabetically, once it is on/active the icon becomes highlighted
- "Done" button used to save all changes
Note: In the "Edit" mode you can also edit each category name in-line. Just click or tap on the name of the category and change its name.
Changing icons or colors of categories
Here's how to change multiple categories' parameters:
- Choose a category
- Click/tap "Change"
- Allows you to choose an icon
- Lets you choose a color
Note: By default, all categories are given no color and the 1st icon from the menu (“flag”).
Sharing Categories
If you add a category to a task in a shared project, it will automatically become shared within project members. They will also see the category icon that you selected but no color. The color of category is individual, and each project member can set their color for each category.

Setting up Repeating Tasks
You can set up tasks to repeat every once in a while to remind you of your things on a regular basis.
Before you set up a "repeat" parameter on a task, make sure to set the due date first. Otherwise, Nozbe will default it to today. The due date set for today (if you haven´t set any date) is then the start date of your recurring task. The system won´t create a next instance of the repeating task when it has not been completed in time and is still visible on your list as overdue.
One of the fastest ways to add a repeat to an action is to use the # parameter (especially, that you can set a due date this way too) for instance:
As you can see, typing "#every" brings up a list of accepted intervals. Please note that this also works in emailing.
You can also set the repeat parameter in the task details panel:
All currently available options are (to see all scroll down in the recurring menu):
- every day
- every week
- every month
- every year
and also:
- every weekday
- every 2 days
- every 2 weeks
- every 3 weeks
- every 4 weeks
- every 2 months
- every 3 months
- every half a year
- every 2 years
Repeating Tasks in Nozbe Calendar
Nozbe creates just one physical event/task. Once it is completed and archived (at midnight of the day of completing), Nozbe will generate a new task based on the recurrence pattern.
If you take a look at Nozbe Calendar, you will see see-through copies of that task within it.
These are the so-called "ghost tasks". They have been added to the calendar ONLY for planning purposes. They are inactive, and you can't act on them e.g. by changing their due date or checking them off. Their sole reason for existence is to let you know that on a given day you have something planned.
Differences Between how Nozbe and Google Treat Repeating Tasks
This leads us to Google Calendar integration - where Nozbe and Google treat repeating tasks differently.
How Nozbe syncs repeating tasks with Google Calendar
If you set a recurrence (repeat) parameter for a task in Nozbe, it's still just one task, and it shows up in Google Calendar as one task for that day. As noted above, once it's done, the new instance will re-create itself in Nozbe and will be synchronized to your Google Calendar the next day.
Multi Edit
Edit Overview
Edit mode is available in almost all views of Nozbe. You can find it in the Priority list, within any project, in calendar. There are separate edit options for your projects and categories lists as well.
You can see the multi edit option for projects (1) or tasks (2) in the lower bar of the app.
Edit procedure
Using the edit mode is quite comfortable and useful as you can amend a group of tasks/projects/categories on one go. Please go to any view, locate "edit" button at the bottom bar. Using it will get you to similar view to this one:
In this screenshot you can see already a couple of tasks selected for editing (1). In task details you can see highlighted the parameters already set or the new selected ones (2). To start changing details of all selected tasks you need to use the 'change‘(5) button that has appeared once you entered the edit mode. Just choose from the parameter any of the task details (2)(3), set it, or add a new task comment to all selected tasks (4) confirm and when finished confirm with ‘Done‘ (6)
In this example we have decided to change/add category.
- choose one or more categories from the list (here 'waiting-for' is highlighted green now)
- confirm your choice using 'confirm' button
- make sure to save the changes using the 'done' button at the top bar
This procedure applies to any and all changes that you wish to make. All steps are required.
Edit project list
As mentioned above this mode is also to be applied to your project list. You will find the button at the bottom of your project list.
- Select a project
- option to select all
- you can edit here the name of the project
- the drag'n'drop icon (grab here to manually arrange your projects...*please note it conflicts with alphabetical order, so you either use option 4 or 6)
- "change" button similar to the one found in edit mode for tasks, allows you to access all other options applicable to the projects (labels add/remove; color change; etc.)
- alphabetical sorting of the list (icon in green- feature is on; icon in white- off)
- once done with all the changes please do not forget to use "done" button in top right corner to save them.
Please note that you can only edit your projects or projects you are the owner of. All other projects cannot be edited.
Edit on mobile devices
Edit mode on mobile devices has one aspect that is not found on standard PC/Mac versions. Namely, the drag and drop option that is easily accessible on the standard version has been moved under edit mode on mobiles to avoid conflict with gestures. You need to enter the view, and can move tasks and projects using the 3 lines icon to the right of the name of the item. For more clarity here is how the icon looks like:

Video Introduction to Project Labels
What Are Project Labels?
Labels are used in Nozbe to help you organize projects. Projects can be grouped and filtered by Labels and can be tagged by more than one Label.
Use Labels to tie similar Nozbe projects together and arrange them in groups. Labels allow you not only to separate your private projects from business ones, but also to tag projects with e.g. customer names or the names of your family members.
Assigning a label to a project
On the project list(1), select a project(2), go to its infobar (3 - click the "i" icon) to see its properties and go to "change label"(4).
If you don't have any labels set up, or you wish to create a new one, use the „+“ button to create a label:
Please note that white signs are not allowed in label names. Every space, tab, etc. in a label’s name will be automatically changed to underscore sign “_” after sync.
Once you've added a new label, select it and use the "Confirm" button to add it to the project.
Grouping Projects with Labels
Once you have at least one label set up, you can group projects by labels in the project list. Just use the "change label" button in the details of each project and choose a label. Then you can use the label to filter your project list to show you only those labeled by it.
Managing Labels
To manage, edit or remove labels, just go to a project's info bar (steps 1-4 (Nr 4 is ‚Change labels‘ button) and you'll see three dots "..." (5) next to your labels.
When you click/tap on the dots next to your desired label, you'll be able to edit or delete the selected label.
Assigning Labels to Several Projects at a Time
You can use the project multi-edit mode to assign one label to several projects at once.
Once in the edit mode, please follow these steps:
- Select projects of interest
- Choose "Change"
- Click on a label button
- Select a label you wish to attach or
- Create and add a new one
- Confirm adding new label
- Confirm all changes with the "Done" button.
Removing a Label from a Project
To remove a label already attached to a project (let's say you wish to change it to some other or simply not have it on the given project), please go back to project's info bar, choose "Change label" button and:
click on it (1) - the background will go from colored to white - and confirm (2).
It is also possible to remove labels from more than one project at once in the projects ‘edit‘ view. Just select in the edit view projects you wish to remove the label from (1), click on them and the background will change from green (selected) to white (unselected) (2) and confirm with "Done" (3).
Please note that you can filter your priority task list by labels. It is very handy when you wish to work only on your private or business tasks at the moment. You´ll find this option in the Info bar (‘i’) in the Priority view:

Video Introduction to Project Templates
What Are Project Templates?
Project templates are a great tool to manage assignments that require always completing the same set of tasks, for example introducing a new member into your company or preparing a monthly report for your customer.
In addition to the list of tasks, a template will also record all participating users along with their responsibilities, categories, time needed, recurrence, all comments and project notes.
To view all your templates, go to the templates tab:
How to Create or Update a Template?
To create a new template, open the source project (1-2), go to the info bar (3) and use the "Create Template" button(4):
You will be asked to input the template name (1) and, once done, you will need to "Create" (2) it.
You can easily update the template in the info bar in the project view or just edit it in the template view.
You can also create a template from scratch. Just pick templates in left menu and use the “+” button to add a new one.
How to Edit a Template?
Templates can be edited in the same way as any other project in Nozbe. You can add new tasks, edit or remove them. Please note that the edited template can be overwritten when you update the template in the project view. The list of templates can be edited in the ‘edit‘ view (three dots on the bottom of the site), you can select here the templates you wish to edit (1)
- select all templates to edit them
- or only one or two
- change the name of template
- reorder per drag and drop
- or delete it
- do not forget to save the changes by clicking ‚done.'
How to Create a Project out of a Template?
It is quite easy.
- Go to "Templates."
- Choose a template from your list
- Go to its info bar by clicking the "i" icon
- Click "Create Project."
In this view, you can see the name of the template you used to create the new project (1), you can type the new projects name here (2), with the tick set in this window, all people saved in the template will automatically be invited to the newly created project. (You can always untick it when you don´t wish to invite them). With (4) the 'create' button, you´ll create a new project from your template.
How to Share the new Project Created out of a Template?
If there are any other users saved in the template, invitations to the new project will be sent automatically to them, as soon as you create the project. You can see them here (1), you can add more people to this new project (or remove some of them) from the project that you´re going to create (2), or you can share the template with all the people you want.(3)
You can copy this link and send it by email or share it on your Facebook or Twitter account.
Or share your template and your knowledge and ideas with other Nozbe users on our how.nozbe.com site!

Video Introduction to Comments
Why Add Comments to Get a Task Done Faster
When working in a private project:
You can comment on any task. Even if you're working all by yourself, it's a great way to add additional information to a task. This way, when you get back to it any time later, you have all the necessary information to get it done.
When sharing projects with others:
Through comments you can center your team’s communication around tasks. This is how we work at Nozbe. We don't send emails to one another, we communicate through tasks.
Types of Comments in Nozbe
To add a new comment, just click on "Add comment" as you can see below:
You can comment on a task with a text, a checklist, a file attachment, Evernote note or with a Dropbox, Google Drive or Box file. Just use the "Text" button and the list of possible versions of comments will appear:
When you add other than text type of comment, the shortcut to that type will appear on new comment area
Third party attachments: Evernote, Box, Dropbox and Google Drive
If your account is not yet synced with Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive or Box - you'll find these comment options under "More". Clicking one of the "Connect" buttons here will forward you to the Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive or Box site to sync your account with your Nozbe account:
To read more about our integrations, visit their dedicated chapters on this page:
How can I add a dial-out hyperlink to telephone numbers?
You can easily create a hyperlink to a telephone number by simply adding "tel:" prefix to the number in the comments section. The comment you're adding should look like this:
When you add that comment, Nozbe will create a dial-out hyperlink from it:
To call that number, simply click or tap on it.
File Attachments
Just like adding an attachment to a project, you can add a comment to a task in Nozbe with a file, link or a picture - just choose the "Attachment" option. Click on the "Choose file" button to browse for a file, or simply drag and then drop it here.
In the comment window, the various attachment options can be accessed directly by selecting the icon of the attachment you wish to add.
Checklist
Sometimes a task needs a few simple steps to make sure it gets properly done. For this it's really useful to add a checklist. Just choose the "Checklist" option:
Enter a checklist item and hit enter. Compose your list and click "Save" when you are finished.
Select the three dots (1) in the top right corner of the checklist comment to edit (2) your checklist. You can reorder the list by drag and drop, change or delete your checklist items in the edit view. Do not forget to save the changes made. You can also Pin (3) the checklist as your favorite comment on the top of the comments list or create a task with this comment (4) or delete it (5).
Text Comments and Markdown Writing Style
Text comments can be formatted to feature boldface, italics, numbered lists, bullet points, etc. with Markdown. To preview the comment, just click on "Preview this comment" at the bottom of the comment window.
Quick reference guide to Markdown
To add a quick bullet point, use an asterisk and a space, like this:
* one thing
* another thing
* third thing
Example of a Markdown formatted text
I am a *very* **professional** productivity guy. I use:
* Nozbe for tasks
* Evernote for notes
* Dropbox for files
And these three apps ***work beautifully*** together!
Here's how the saved comment in Markdown will look like:
I am a very professional productivity guy. I use:
- Nozbe for tasks
- Evernote for notes
- Dropbox for files
And these three apps work beautifully together!
To learn more about Markdown, read the official documentation
You can also use Markdown in checklists. However, it is limited to links, blocks of code, bold and italic. Here is an example how to use it in checklist:
Final checklist:
Editing or Deleting Comments
When you wish to edit or delete one of your comments, just click on the three dots at the bottom of the comment window.
In this view you can edit, pin, create a task with this comment or delete it.
In the case of file attachments and 3rd party attachments, you can edit the description of the file.
Unread Comments Panel
When you share projects with people and they add a comment to any of your tasks, look out for a green bubble with a number on it - it means that there are some unread comments in your projects.
All unread comments from all projects and tasks can be viewed in the Comments panel.
If you don't want to go through each of the comment in this view, you can mark all comments as read by just going to the "Info bar" in "Comments" view and choosing the "Mark all comments as read" option.

Video Introduction to Shared projects
Why Share Projects in Nozbe?
By default, every new Project in Nozbe is private, and you're the only one having access to it.
You can invite other people to work on the projects with you. Very often getting tasks done together is more fun and most of all, more effective. In Nozbe, it's very easy. When you invite someone to share a project with you, you'll be able to delegate tasks and communicate in the comments of your tasks.
It is how we work in Nozbe. We share lots of projects and communicate through tasks and comments. We don't use email anymore.
How to Share a Project with Someone?
After you've created a project (1), go to project's Infobar(2) and go to the „Invite people“ (3) section
You can select the people you wish to add from the list (1)(2) and confirm with the ‚Confirm‘ button (3)
When the person you wish to invite is not on the list, click the ‘Add person‘ button and just type the email address of this person you wish to invite in the dedicated field:
And hit "Enter" to confirm. You can add more than one email address this way and also choose one or more people from the list. When you select a name it will change to green and the "Add person" button will change to "Confirm" button.
To invite all selected people choose "Confirm." This banner appears. You can see names of all people you wish to invite and have to confirm again.
Now, in the project view at the top of this icon, you can see how many people you are sharing this project with, and you can invite even more people to this project.
Manage people who you share the project with by clicking on the icon:
Removing People from a Project
In case you wish to remove a person from a shared project click on the “…” (three dots) button.
In this view, you can remove this person from the project. Just use the “Remove from Project” button. NOTE: should the person not be on your team and this is the last project you have shared with them, they will be removed from your suggestion list.
Whatever they have done in the project while they worked on it with you will stay withing that project. However the tasks assigned to them but not completed will become delegated to 'anyone' and those items done, will be assigned to 'unknown'.
What Can the People You Invite to a Project Do?
It depends of the status the user has in this project.
Admin - can edit and complete the project. The project admin can invite and remove people to/from the project, They can participate in the project fully: can add tasks, comment on tasks, complete tasks, delegate tasks and change task’s parameters.
User - They can participate in the project fully: can add tasks, comment on tasks, complete tasks, delegate tasks and change task’s parameters.
Guest - This user can see and comment the tasks within the project or delegate them.
How Can I Leave a Project Somebody Was Sharing with Me?
If you want to leave a project you are a part of, click on the "Leave" button next to your name:
The project will disappear from your list, and you will no longer have access to any data therein.
How to Share a Project with Someone who does not have a Nozbe Account
If you need to collaborate on some project with someone who does not have a Nozbe account you can share a project easily. Just use Add person button.
Enter his email address. We are inviting Rafal (rafal@XXXXX.com).
and click Confirm button
Rafal will receive an email with a unique link to the project.
If he does not have a Nozbe account, he can open the link and access the project in the browser anytime with the unique link.
Of course, the access to the project via the unique link does not give access to all Nozbe features like Inbox or Priority, but Rafal can sign up for a Nozbe account anytime from the shared project, and it will be automatically added to his account.
This way you can collaborate on Nozbe projects with anyone!
Can the people invited to a project see all project settings and information?
The people you´ve invited to this project can see all tasks, comments attachments, the project description, as well as all tasks parameters such as due date, delegation, recurrence or category. The information which doesn´t sync and can be set individually are project colors and project labels. Why? The importance of a project can be different for different team members and the use of color schema as well. Each user should adapt the system to his or her needs to work effectively.

Team in Nozbe - How Many Nozbe Accounts Can I Have?
After you've set up a Nozbe account for yourself, you can also set up additional Nozbe accounts for your partner, colleagues or students.
Nozbe PRO account includes 1-2 people, each additional one costs a good cup of coffee per month
Pricing in Nozbe is pretty straightforward. A Nozbe PRO account lets you create your main Nozbe account and an additional account for your partner or whoever you want.
Each additional account costs a nominal monthly fee as per our pricing page.
Nozbe PRO comes with a 30-day unlimited trial - you can create and remove as many accounts for as many people as you want during the trial. Later, when you're ready to check out and pay for Nozbe PRO, you'll be charged for the actual number of accounts you have created.
If you're on an old Nozbe Personal Plan, you'll be automatically upgraded to Nozbe PRO and if you weren't, please contact us.
If you're on an old Nozbe Family (up to 5 people), Team (up to 20 people) or Business (up to 100 people) plans, you'll still have the ability to add people to your plan. Additionally, you'll be able to add more people one-by-one as per our current pricing
Privacy - Why Can't I See All of the Projects of My Team Members?
In Nozbe, by default, every new project is private. If you set up an additional account for someone in Nozbe it means two things:
- You're paying for this person's account (they're a part of your Nozbe bill)
- You'll have it easier to share projects with them
By default, everyone's projects are private so even if you've created a Nozbe account for someone, you still need to share a project with them to be able to see their tasks in this project.
Your team members will be displayed on the list of people you can share a project with, but you won't have access to their private projects.
How to Add a Person to My Team (create a Nozbe account for them)?
In Nozbe, go to "Team" section. It's divided into three parts:
- You - well, that's you - You can see that you´re the Admin of the team :-)
- Your team - people who have accepted your team invitation are your team members. On the right, you can see how many people are in your team and the amount of slots in your account
- Sharing projects with - people who have their own, independent from your team, Nozbe accounts but you are sharing projects with them
To add a person to your team, just tap on the "+" icon in the bottom right corner. Or use the ‘Add more‘ button. Enter the email address and confirm with ‘Enter‘.
After you've accepted a confirmation screen, this person will receive an invite to create a Nozbe account within your team.
Note: only you and one additional person are included in your Nozbe PRO account so that each additional invite will result in a nominal monthly charge as per our pricing.
Role in the team
The team owner is always automatically admin of the entire team. He/She can promote another team member to team admin. In the Pro account, you can have up to two team admins. In Business Account, an unlimited number of admins. You can promote team members to team admin in the info bar of the team view. (5)
How to Invite a New Team Member to Several Projects at Once?
In the "Team" section (1), choose a person (2) and go to their info bar (3). There, you'll be able to:
- See all tasks delegated to this person in shared projects (4)
- Promote to admin (5) you see here the current role of this person in your team, and you can promote the selected user to an additional team admin or demote the team admin to a team user again
- See all projects (6) you're sharing with the selected user, it is also possible to remove the user from projects you´re sharing with them here. It can be done by clicking on the trash bin icon.
- Invite to more projects (7) - just use this button, select projects from the list you wish to share with this user and confirm
- Filter (8) the list of items shared with this user or
- Sort (9 )it
- Print (10) the list of tasks they´re delegated to
- Remove from the team (11) - if you want to remove somebody from your team.
Before you confirm, please select (1) when you wish to remove this person from all project you´re sharing with or/and (2) from all projects shared with this person within the team
When you choose the "activity" section of the info bar, you'll be able to follow their recent activity in Nozbe in the projects you're sharing with them.
What Else Can I Do in the Team View?
When you've selected a person in the "Team" (1) view, you'll see all of the tasks delegated to this person from all of the projects you're sharing with them.
You can choose here any task (2)(3) and make a comment on it, add parameters, delegate it to someone else, you name it (4).
It is a great view for managers to see how people they're working with are doing and what their peers are currently working on.
When you select ‘You‘ in the team panel you can see the list of all tasks delegated to you sorted by projects. You can always see the first ten tasks. To see more, just select the ‘load more‘ button.
Can Team Ownership Be Transferred?
In PRO and Business accounts you can promote another user the team admin. The new team admin can add and remove the team members then, and when you leave the team, he´ll be the new owner of team projects when he selects this option while removing you from the team. Do not hesitate to contact our support: if you need any assistance.
Can I Be a Part of More Than One Team in Nozbe?
It is not possible to be a team member in more than one team with the same account at the moment.
However, this doesn't mean you cannot share projects with other teams. The other team owner can just invite you to their projects and work with their team in these projects. You'll be visible in the "sharing projects with" section of their Nozbe Team.
It simply doesn't matter in Nozbe if you're a part of a Nozbe team or not, sharing projects is independent of team memberships.
How to Remove a Team Member and What Effects it Has For The Team?
Team configuration may change. People you once worked with may have gone their separate ways, and you would like to either remove them from the team or replace them with someone else. Let's start with the fact that only the owner or the admin of the team can remove anyone. How to do so? Go to your team, choose the person by clicking their name, and then get to their details by using the [i] icon from the top bar. You will see there an option "remove from the team". In the next window which appears then, you can remove this user from all the projects you´re sharing with him or/and from all project shared from/with this person within the team.
What are the results? Well, you stop paying for that person and you have one free slot on your team. But it does not automatically remove them from the projects they were part of. You can decide if you wish to remove this person from all the projects while removing them or you can do that from the details of the person within the team, by using the trashcan icons next to the names of projects displayed. Once the user is removed, you will still see what he has done in the given project, but it will be assigned to 'unknown'.
Advanced Features
How Search Works in Nozbe (video)
Searching
You can search within Nozbe for projects, tasks or tasks comments. Please note that there are two search options. One is for the project, the other for tasks only. Just go the "Search" section in your Nozbe Icobar:
A window appears where you should type the task or project name you want to search for.
You can type the entire name or only a part of it or select an item from the search history:
You can clear the history using the ‚clear history‘ button at the bottom of the list
In my example it is the word: “box” (1)
In the search results, you can see the list of related tasks(2), projects (3) and categories (4):
Now, you can filter the search results in the info bar (5) It´s very handy when the list with results is quite long.
Project Dedicated Search
Now if you do not wish to go through the general search you can refer to a dedicated project search option located at the top of your project list.
Please note that after your search, the project list will be limited to just the ones containing the combination of letters you entered in the search window. If you wish to return to the full list view, either delete the phrase or use 'x' in the search window.
How to Add Tasks Quickly with "#" (video)
Hashtags (#)
When adding a new task, you can simultaneously specify its details (parameters). You can do this by using the hash symbol "#" and choosing from the list displayed below:
Each detail must be preceded by a hashtag:
Side note: in case you wish to add a specific date and time the format used should be for example: "#january 10 11:00" - this will make an action set to the nearest 10th of January for 11 a.m.
If you wish to send the action right away to the Priority list simply type #priority or #!
You can also create a task with a comment included thanks to hashtags. Just use double hashtag: Task ##Comment
You can also use hashtags when adding tasks to Nozbe via email.
Apart from the above mentioned use in emailing of existing # formatting you can also create a project via email, but there is a little catch to it... it has to come with at least one task. To do so send an email to your personal Nozbe email address, as usual. In the subject line put "# name of a project" (DO NOT FORGET THE SPACE BETWEEN # and the name) and in the body put your first task.
On your iOS devices you can use the # sign on the top of your keyboard, adding task parameters couldn´t be easier on your iPhone or iPad now

How Emailing Tasks to Nozbe Works (video)
Setting up Your Nozbe Email Address
One of most useful features in daily life is the ability to email tasks and attachments to Nozbe. Anything you will need to set up is your nickname and PIN in the settings (Integrations) of your account. It will create your unique email address within Nozbe that will allow the system to recognize the email as actionable and yours.
You can set your nickname and PIN in the account settings (1) —> Integrations (2)
Now enter your nickname and PIN in the fields and update the changes. Once done, your personalized email is set up.
Example: if you set a nickname to "ann" and PIN to 2222 your email for Nozbe would be ann.2222@nozbe.me Do not forget to type a dot between your Nickname and PIN!
Forwarding an Email to Nozbe to Convert It to a Task
Now, to send the 1st task, you need to go to your email client. Open a new message, type the address and a task name. The subject line can be your task name, but you can also type the name of task in the body of the message, just as shown in the example below:
Please note that there is a period before the name of the task and one space ((.)(space)(task)). Both “.” and a "space" are essential for correct interpretation by the system.
The message will end up in Nozbe within a few seconds as a task in your Inbox. Also, anything below the name of the task will end up as a comment to that task.
The effect for both those examples will be as follows:
Please note that all of the formatting used for creating actions also works in emailing them to Nozbe. So if you want to send a task to the specific project or with specific category, delegation, etc. just use Hashtags(#). Here is more on that: Hashtags
Emailing Multiple Tasks at Once
One of the most useful aspects of emailing tasks to Nozbe is that you can add as many tasks as you want to. Here is an example:
The result in the Inbox a second later is:
Please note that tasks which I have sent with comments do have comments in Inbox and the one I have scheduled for today is marked with a star and a date-tag. Also, the part that I have cut off by typing a double hyphen (--) — got ignored.
Trick: Emailing task with a checklist
If you want to include a checklist in your task, just type the word “checklist:” and use brackets and minus/plus signs to include checklist’s elements. Just like on the screen below:
After sending such an email, you will have a task with a checklist in your Nozbe.
Trick: Emailing of Comments to Already Existing Tasks
Here's a quick example that best illustrates how it works. Let say we have a project „Trip to NY“ and one of my tasks there: „new suitcase“
We search the web for ideas and come up with several things we would like to add to it. We, of course, start with the email address we use for sending emails to Nozbe nick.PIN@nozbe.me (please check on yours in the settings of your account).
But here the similarities end. Once we have the email, we'll need to inform Nozbe of which task we wish to add the comment to and that can be only done by amending our title line in the message. The format should be as follows: #task: TASK NAME
In this example, the title line should look like this #task: new suitcase
Please be aware that:
- This parameter can be added instead of a subject line or at the end of it. In the latter case, the rest of subject line will go to the beginning of the comment
- You don't have to put the entire name of the task: „new suitcase“. It is enough to write a fragment „new sui“ or „suitcase“ or „new su“ but in such case, you have to be careful that the name you put matches only that of the desired task. If it matches other tasks, the comment will go randomly to one of them.

- Complete a task directly in widget
- Open the priority list within the Nozbe app
Keyboard assistant
Nozbe on iPhone has a new cool feature we call the keyboard assistant. When typing in new tasks, you’ll see 3 new buttons above the keyboard:
- Direction arrow. Usually, tasks are added to the top of the list in Nozbe. However, sometimes you might want to append them to the bottom, for example, when noting low-priority items, or when you start a new project and want to enter multiple tasks from top to bottom.
- Hashtag key. When adding new tasks, you can use the hashtag notation to mark them with extra parameters. For example, “Review this project #tomorrow #every week” will make the task due tomorrow, then repeating every week. This isn’t a new feature, but the “#” key is now instantly reachable. (We also made a number of improvements to the hashtag suggestion list.)
- Priority switch. You can now mark a new task as a priority from any place in the app without leaving the keyboard area. Before, you would have to add the task, open it, and then mark it as a priority. (Or you would have to know about the secret “#!” hashtag parameter :)) Now, just tap the star before pressing the return/Next button, and whatever it is you’re creating, it’s a priority!
Share extension
Sharing from other apps in iOS is very easy thanks to Share extension support. Just tap Share button in-app options, select Nozbe and add a task.

How Evernote Works with Nozbe (Video)
Why Nozbe Works So Well with Evernote
Integration with Evernote is one of most useful features in Nozbe. You can access it regardless of the account owned in Nozbe. Even a free Evernote and free Nozbe are sufficient for using your Evernote notes as reference materials within your Nozbe. You can either keep them under attachments area of your project or/and add them directly to actions in the form of comments. To do so, you will first need to authorize Nozbe’s access to your Evernote account, and that can be done from the "Settings" section.
How to Enable Integration with Evernote
Choose "Settings" from the left-hand bar(1). Then select "Integrations"(2). Integration with Evernote(3) is 3rd from the top.
Click the button and authorize Nozbe's access(3).
Upon confirming you will be taken to the following screen:
Please note:
- The access token is valid only 1-year after which you will need to re-authorize (this is the case of this test account)
- In case of re-authorization please click this button; in case of new set up you will only have "authorize" button
- Provides you with information on what Nozbe will be able to do and what it won't. Please read it careful as to avoid confusion later on
Once the process is completed, you will be taken to the Integrations view in your Nozbe account. You will also receive confirmation email from Evernote to your email.
And from now on you will be able to see your notes in Nozbe. Please do remember that they are your reference materials, so if you wish to update them, it needs to be in the app of their origin = in Evernote.
How to Attach Your Evernote Notes to Projects
Now, to see your Evernote notes in Nozbe follow instructions below:
- Access the list of your projects
- Choose any
- Locate and click on the "i" icon to open the info bar
- Pick the "paper clip" icon to access the attachments area of a project
Clicking the "+" will open the attachment options where you will need to choose "Evernote note" from the dropdown list:
At this point, Nozbe using the Evernote API will locate your notes with some options:
- You can filter your notes by name
- The list of your recent (max. 100) Evernote notes
- First part of the list is a list of suggested notes - here you will find notes tagged with the same name as your Nozbe project Second part of the list - shows the rest of your recent notes
OK, you may ask what if a note that I want to add is not among my 100 recent notes in Evernote? You can search for it:
Just start typing in the field (1) and after entering at least three characters (2), a link will appear. Click/Tap on it to search for e.g. “Gra” in your Evernote account.
A new section - found notes have been attached to the list of notes. These are results of your “Gra” query, and they include all the notes with this phrase in the title or the body of a note. It is the native Evernote search. It also supports advanced search features like in the Evernote app.
You can choose more than one note to be attached at once and after selecting them, please click the “Save” button that will appear at the top.
- Save button
- List of selected notes
- You can add additional comment to your notes
The notes you have selected will be displayed under project attachments from now on and will be visible for all project participants.
If you wish to preview an Evernote attachment, simply click on it.
Please note the buttons on the border of this preview:
- Hides the note and allows you to go back in Nozbe to what you were doing
- Allows you to display the note in a browser
- Creates a task with this note as attachment to it
- "More" button -> leads to 3 options:
- delete/trash
- change project
- favorite (pins a note to the top of the attachments list)
Please, note that options 3. and 4. are available only when you preview an attachment in the project's info bar.
How to Add Evernote Notes as Comments to Tasks
You may want to attach your notes to tasks instead of projects. This comes particularly handy if you need the notes as a fast reference for what needs to be done in a given action.
In such case, all you need to do is create a new comment in the desired project, change the comment format option from Text to Evernote and use the same mechanism as in project attachments, described above. You might also want to watch a video showing how to add comments in Nozbe.
How to Automatically Sync Evernote Reminders with Nozbe
This requires no special action on your part unless you do not wish to have it. Reminders will automatically synchronize into your Inbox once you set up the integration. They will all bear “Evernote reminder” category and be set as actions to the date and time you have chosen for them in Evernote, with the note being a comment.
Now when you complete the task in Nozbe or change its due date, it would also change in Evernote and vice versa. Changing reminders date in Evernote or marking it as done would sync to Nozbe.
Please note that if you remove reminder in Evernote task in Nozbe would not disappear.

Many more new characteristics are in plans.
The pricing for these accounts is also different. Please refer to the nozbe.com site to check on the current cost thereof.
Downgrade - Free Nozbe Account
Yes, after 30 days of trying Nozbe out you can still convert your trial to a free Nozbe account. You won't be able to add people to your team and can only have five active projects- regardless own or shared ones (vs. unlimited in Nozbe PRO account) but maybe it's all you need.
Additional People in your Team
The major advantage of Nozbe PRO account is its flexibility. Being an account owner you only pay for the users that use Nozbe. You can remove inactive users as well as add new users whenever you need.
iTunes and App Store Payments
For our customers' comfort we have two payment channels: you can either login to your Nozbe account and make your payments and add new accounts via our secure system or use the in-app purchase option in Apple App Store (providing you use Nozbe on your iOS or Mac device).
We are happy to introduce the App Store payments to let iOS users save some time and effort. They can make their monthly payments and add new team members easily via their iTunes account.
Please note, though, that it is impossible to take advantage of our promotions and discounts with the in-app purchase. If you wish to get two months free by paying for one year in advance or use any special discount codes, please, log in to your Nozbe account and use the native Nozbe payment system.
Accepted Modes of Payment
In the Nozbe payment system, we accept credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, MaestroCard, JCB, American Express), PayPal and (for Poland only) wire transfers.
In the case of PayPal, both direct debits from a PayPal account and payment by credit card without PayPal account are accepted.
Wire transfers are limited to Poland only and will show as an option only after you introduce appropriate billing address during the checkout process.
We don't charge additional fees, but your banks might
Nozbe.com (Apivision.com) charges users only the fee as displayed on our website and in your payment confirmation. Please note that some banks may pose on your transaction additional fees for which Nozbe takes no responsibility. If you decide to take advantage of our 30-days money back guarantee, we will refund only the fee as provided at our website.
Coupon codes
If you have a discount coupon (either from the special offer or our support personnel), please use the link to our payments site provided with this code. The code will be automatically applied on the payments site, and the value of it will influence what you see at the top of the page in the "Review Payment information" area. The code cannot be applied manually on our payments site.
Billing Cycles and Restrictions
All the payments are subject to auto-renewal and by processing a payment, you acknowledge and accept this condition. The recurrence can be stopped at anytime, just contact us and we will stop the billing cycle, but account remains valid for the rest of period that it has been paid for. Only wire transfers require manual renewal.
There are two types of cycles: monthly and annual (if you pay for one year in advance you save 20% - it's like getting more than two months free!).
If you pay for Nozbe via App Store (iTunes), we can't help you with stopping your payment. Due to Apple's policies, only the owner of the account can cancel his/her subscription. In this case, please, make sure to stop recurring on your end in: "My account->Manage my Subscriptions" in your iTunes account.
Canceling a Nozbe Account
Money-back guarantee
We don't want to charge you for our service unless you're totally happy with it. We have a track record of more than 95% customers satisfaction so we're pretty confident you'll love how Nozbe helps you get things done, but we don't want to charge you unless you're crazy-happy and productive.
As a new user, you can go for a 30-day free trial and then, once you decide to sign up for a Nozbe PRO account you have another 30 days to try out Nozbe with all its fantastic features at no risk. If you decide to cancel your account within 30 days, do so and e-mail us, and we'll give you your money back. Every. Single. Cent.
How to cancel your Nozbe account
If you wish to cancel your account, just go to your "Settings" section in Nozbe and choose "Cancel my Nozbe account" in the "Account" section.
Once you click the link, you will be taken to the confirmation window. Remember! After confirming the cancellation, you won't be able to access your account, and any attempt to log in will result in error message informing you that there is no such account (unless you have created a new one under the same address).
Please note that Nozbe newsletter system is separate and if you do not wish to receive further emails from us you will need to unsubscribe link that can be found at the bottom of any newsletter you have received.
Pre 2014 Nozbe Personal, Family, Team and Business plans:
- Upgrading Nozbe Personal to Nozbe PRO
- How to Add More People to Your pre-2014 Nozbe Plan
- Savings - When It Makes Sense to Switch to Nozbe PRO?
Personal to PRO
We changed Nozbe plans in November 2014. If you have been using Nozbe Family, Nozbe Team or Nozbe Business plan up to that date, you can continue having it and paying for it. We won't force you to change to the new Nozbe PRO. However, you might consider this change and save.
All personal users will be automatically upgraded to the new 2014 Nozbe PRO
If you have been using Nozbe Personal, we will automatically change your plan to Nozbe PRO at no additional charge. You will keep paying as much (or as low) as you'd been paying before, but you'll get the benefit of adding a second person to your Nozbe account for free.
How to Add More People to Your pre-2014 Nozbe Plan
No matter which plan you have in Nozbe, you can add people to your team whenever you need. Every time the same rule applies: each additional account costs you only a cup of a good coffee = a nominal monthly fee as per our pricing page. This way you only pay for the user who are actually active.
If you paid for Nozbe Family, Team or Business plans before new regulations came into power and you haven't used all the team-members "slots", you can keep adding people for free until you reach the limit of your plan. After that, you can keep adding new people at our new, affordable prices.
Savings - When It Makes Sense to Switch to Nozbe PRO?
- Nozbe Family Plan: If you are 2-3 people on a Family account, switch to Nozbe PRO and save between 25%-50%
- Nozbe Team Plan: If you are 2-9 people on a Team account, switch to Nozbe PRO and save between 10%-90%
- Nozbe Business Plan: If you are 2-19 people on a Business account, switch to Nozbe PRO and save between 5%-90%
