# Task list
The task list is the first screen you see when you open Mechanic. It shows your installed tasks, current processing activity, and a live feed of recent events.
## Tasks
The main area of the home screen lists all the tasks installed on your store. Each task shows its name, the events it responds to, tags, and last modified date. Click any task to open it in the [task editor](/app/task-editor.md).
Use **Add task** to browse the [task library](/resources/task-library.md) or start a **New blank task**. To create a blank task directly from the keyboard, press `N` then `T`. Use **Import tasks** when you have a task export in JSON.
### Filtering and search
Search across task names, code, and options, or filter by enabled status, event topic, Shopify API version, or tags. Save filter combinations as **custom views** to quickly return to filtered lists you use often.
### Bulk actions
Select tasks to add or remove tags in bulk, enable or disable tasks, delete tasks, export tasks as JSON, or duplicate a single selected task.
## Current activity
The right sidebar shows real-time processing status — how many of your tasks are currently running, how many are waiting in the queue, and whether everything is on schedule or backed up. Expand **Show details** to see which specific tasks and actions are processing.
## Recent events
A live feed of the most recent [events](/app/events.md) — use it to see if tasks are triggering unexpectedly or encountering errors. Click **View more** to go to the full [Events](/app/events.md) page.
