Projects, Groups & Areas

cntxt organizes your work into three tiers. A Project is the persistent, window-bound entity — opening a window opens (or creates) a Project. A Group is a short-lived sub-task: it can stand on its own in its own window, or nest under a Project, in which case activating it swaps its tabs into that Project's already-open window. An Area is purely organizational — it just groups Projects together.

A Project can also hold manually-saved links and notes directly, separate from any Group's own tabs — see Resources.
