## What is Box?

Capture it first. Sort it later.

A thought is gone before you get back to it.

Box is a small box for keeping it.

Put down whatever comes to mind, before you think it through.
Shape it later, when you have the time.

Box is a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

■ Box, Note, Do

・Box

Save thoughts, links, photos, and files. Sorting can wait.

・Note

For anything worth more than a line. Every edit is kept in history, so you can always go back.

・Do

Today, List, and Buy are ready from the start. Add the lists you need as you go.

Inside the app, Inbox is simply "Box" and ToDo is "Do." It's a tool you reach for every day, so the names stay light.

Hako is now Box — new name, new icon.

Redesigned Mac layout: switch between Box, Note, and Do while keeping the sidebar in view.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-01

・Improved performance throughout the app. Sidebar counts, list scrolling, search, and the focus timer are all lighter.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-25

・Subtasks can now be collapsed from the parent task.
・Custom Do lists can now be renamed or deleted by pressing and holding or right-clicking their tabs.
・Deleting a task now also moves its subtasks to the Trash, and Undo restores them together.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-20

・Swipe to delete now animates smoothly all the way back.
