Filters

Unified toolbar filters: dimensions, combinations, reset, and stacking with search

Entry point

The unified filter menu on the Manage toolbar (and some list pages)—funnel icon; label follows the app.

Recommended workflow:

1. Pick a scope in the sidebar first (e.g. Untagged or a Smart Collection)
2. Narrow with filters
3. Use batch multi-select when needed

Much faster than toggling filters on raw All Stars.

Dimensions

Dimension	Description	More
Status	unread / read / using	Notes and status
Starred / not starred	Top bar may also offer a quick toggle	—
Knowledge base	Ingested / not ingested	Knowledge base
Language	Multi-select; pairs with “languages of interest”	List preferences
Tags	Filter by tag	Tags
Wiki	Repos with Wiki signals	Wiki entry on detail
Health	Repos with cached health scores	Repo Health
OpenSSF	Repos with cached security scores	Same as above
Hide archived	Exclude archived	—
Hide fork	Exclude forks	—

Not every page exposes every dimension; Explore lists may offer fewer or different filters.

Combination logic

Multiple conditions are usually AND.

Example:

Language = Swift and status = using and not ingested

Good for finding “Swift projects I’m actively using but haven’t added to the knowledge base yet.”

Stacking with search

Layer	Role
Sidebar category	Broadest scope
Filters	Structured constraints
List search (⌘F)	Keyword / semantic refinement

When all three apply, remember the current list is already a filtered subset. See List search.

Reset and persistence

• Reset at the bottom of the menu clears current filters
• Conditions often persist per module: switch to “Tag A” then back to All Stars and each may restore its last state
• If behavior seems wrong: General settings → reset list preferences
