How do I keep a task private?

Turn on Private when you add the task, or when you open it. Only you and the person it's given to will see it, not even the owner.

Updated October 23, 2026

Turn on Private when you add the task, or later when you open it. A private task is only seen by you and the person it's given to. Nobody else sees it, not even the owner or a manager.

Good to know

If you give a private task to a teammate, they see it too. Nobody else does.
Alori's chat, and Claude through Alori, can make a task private when you ask, like "add a private task: dentist Friday".
Your website bot never sees private tasks.

If it doesn't work

"Only the person who made this task or has it can make it private." You can't hide a teammate's task. Ask them to do it.
Private is greyed out. You didn't make this task and it isn't given to you. Ask the person who has it.
