## What is Atempo?

**Atempo: Your Digital Notebook for Life**

Transform your daily planning with Atempo, the todo app that thinks like a notebook. Write your thoughts, track your tasks, and stay organised with the simplicity of pen and paper—enhanced by the power of modern technology.

Ephemeral by design — each day is its own page, not an infinite scroll.
Non-judgmental — no productivity metrics or guilt.
Paper-speed — fast as jotting on paper.
Analog ritual — embraces daily note-taking habit.

**Notebook-Style Organisation**

• Daily Pages: Each day gets its own page, just like a physical notebook
• Chronological Order: Items appear in the order you add them, preserving your natural workflow
• Mixed Content: Switch between todos and notes seamlessly with a simple toggle
• Visual Hierarchy: Indent items to create subtasks and organise your thoughts
• Temporal Fade: Older incomplete items gradually become translucent, gently nudging you to act or let go

**Apple Intelligence**

• Weekly Reflections: Get a short, encouraging summary of what you accomplished over the past week
• Pattern Insights: Discover trends in your productivity—completion rates, your most productive days, and daily averages
• Natural Language Questions: Ask about your accomplishments, habits, or timing in plain English
• Semantic Search: Find items using natural language powered by on-device Apple Intelligence

**Seamless Cross-Platform Experience**

• Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac: Beautiful, optimised interfaces for each device
• iCloud Sync: Your data syncs privately and instantly across all your devices
• Widgets: Home screen, lock screen, and Control Centre widgets to stay on top of your day
• Quick Add: Add items instantly from anywhere—menubar floating panel on Mac, lock screen widgets on iPhone, or Siri Shortcuts
• Offline Ready: Works perfectly without an internet connection, with a subtle indicator when you're offline

**Thoughtful Features**

• Photo Attachments: Add photos to your items for visual context
• Highlighting: Long-press to highlight important items in your choice of six colours
• Focus Mode: Filter your view to show only highlighted items when you need to concentrate
• Auto-Rollover: Incomplete todos from previous days automatically appear on today's page
• Carry Forward: Manually move items to tomorrow with a single tap
• Item Links: Connect related items together—mark dependencies, similarities, and relationships between tasks
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Full keyboard support for power users on Mac and iPad
• Menubar Integration: Quick access on Mac with a floating panel and customisable keyboard shortcut
• Siri Shortcuts: Add items hands-free with voice commands

**Focus on What Matters**

• Distraction-Free: Clean, monospaced typography for a focused writing experience
• No Overwhelming Features: Simple interface that grows with your needs, without nagging reminders
• Privacy-First: Your data stays yours, synced via iCloud with no third-party servers
• Customisable: Choose your highlight colour, content width, completion animation style, and more

**Perfect for:**

• Daily planners who value simplicity over complexity
• Students managing assignments and notes
• Professionals organising tasks and meetings
• Anyone who loves the feel of writing in a notebook

Start each day with clarity. End each day with accomplishment. Atempo helps you capture your thoughts, organise your tasks, and move through your days with intention—one page at a time.
