    Hi everyone!

    After a lot of thinking we decided that “Projects” represents better this section.

    We also released some cool features related to projects, check them out: https://product.akiflow.com/changelog/new-meet-with-menu-bar-and-plan-experiences.

    Hi everyone, in the next release we'll change Labels' name into "Projects" to make it more clear. Thank you.

      Stefania I am not clear on why this change would be made? I actually use Labels as Labels - not for Projects, and I think it gets away from what those are actually used for.

      Labels can include projects. Projects cannot include labels. Not sure why it'd go towards a more exclusive, less useful term in the product.

      Nick: Hi Nick, we have an hard time explaning what Labels are (especially compared to Tags) to our users now, particularly to not "pro" users or new ones.

      Nothing will change in terms of functionalities, but it should automatically clarify the feature behaviour: you can normally have 1 project per task and more tags to it; you can usually breakdown any project into section and so on.

      I saw many times our users use Projects as something else in other tools like Todoist, so I'm confident they'll keep creating projects like "Personal" which is not a project but does the job. I hope my reasonings are clear.
