# timew-untag(1)

remove tags from intervals

## NAME

timew-untag - remove tags from intervals

## SYNOPSIS

```
timew untag [<id>... ] <tag>...
```

## DESCRIPTION

The 'untag' command is used to remove a tag from an interval. Using the 'summary' command, and specifying the ':ids' hint shows interval IDs. Using the right ID, you can identify an interval to untag.

## EXAMPLES

For example, show the IDs:

```
$ timew summary :week :ids
```

Then having selected '@2' as the interval you wish to untag:

```
$ timew untag @2 'Old Tag'
```

Note that you can untag multiple intervals, with multiple tags:

```
$ timew untag @2 @10 @23 'Old Tag' tag2 tag3
```

If there is active time tracking, you can omit the ID when you want to remove tags from the current open interval:

```
$ timew start foo bar
$ timew untag bar
```

This results in the current interval having tag 'foo' but not 'bar'.
