## What is Defer?

Defer is the app to get things out of your head. It's a task inbox or a capture inbox. Simply open the app, type (or paste!), and move on, knowing the thing will be there when you need it later. It works best with the accompanying Mac app: capture something on your phone, act on it when you're back at your Mac.

- Private by Design: All your data is either stored on device or in a private iCloud container if you've got an Apple ID.
- Simple: No bloat. Fast. Just write!
- Synced Automatically: No account creation needed. If you're signed in with the same Apple ID on multiple iOS devices, everything will just sync.
- Export anytime: Take your data with you in the form of a very compatible .csv file. 
- Integrated with Siri, Shortcuts, and Widgets (activate Siri and then say "Defer Something")
- Add dates, or don't! Put stuff out of site / out of mind until you need it.
- Pro feature: Make the app your own by customizing colors and fonts.
- Pro feature: Export to Apple Reminders or JSON
- Pro feature: Use webhooks to send tasks to other apps, on demand or automatically.

We take privacy seriously. Really. We don't track anything about you or how you use Defer. More here: https://deferapp.com/privacy

### 4/5 — iCloud sync is not optimised

*2025-03-28, version 0.19.7*

icloud sync happens very late. If this is fixed it can be top 3 productivity apps on iPhone

### 3/5 — Nice UI/UX, but…

*2025-03-27*

The share to Reminders won’t add date with time, which defeats the purpose of a reminder. Would be great if the app were able to add the date and time to the Reminders app when it is written in Defer and exported.

### 4/5 — Great app, but unresponsive to critical bug report

*2025-02-12, version 0.13.8*

Mac app wont sync to iOS no matter after an initial successful sync. I tried whatever I could think of before reporting the sync bug. I haven’t received any response in 8 days. I understand the challenges of being independent developer but if my entire workflow is broken and there is no response to the issue then one has to go for more dependable solutions. Keeps you from trying other apps or wanting to subscribe.

### 5/5 — great idea

*2025-01-30*

simple jot down

### 5/5 — The most minimal inbox you need

*2025-01-26, version 0.19.5*

Perhaps the only app where when you are adding a task, you aren’t distracted by whatever else there is to do. Also syncs to a mac app that’s also done just right. I hope they add an integration with obsidian on mobile as I don’t imagine it will work with webhooks. Please use this same brilliance and give us a quick entry for calendar. At present there is no easy way to create an event accurately and quickly using stock calendar or even third party calendar apps.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-01-05*

Me of my favorite apps. Really simple to dump something out of my head quickly. Syncs well with the Mac. It would be interesting to learn if there are things on a roadmap.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Yes we’ve got ideas for what’s next but feel free to send any requests to hello@hereand.co

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-11-19*

Defer is a top notch app! Helps me process my work to do list on a day to day basis. I love the feature of being able to defer tasks in the future, or go back and see past tasks I have completed. The app is high quality, simple, and solves a problem.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective with 0 friction

*2024-07-09*

Human memory is fallible. This is why there is an abundance of task apps, but so many become so bloated that they lose sight of this simple reason of why they need to exist.

I’m a strong believer in keeping the mind clutter-free, and it seems this app is too. Not to mention it takes advantage of the Apple Magic where everything just syncs and works instantly out of the box.

### 4/5 — Quick & Easy

*2024-05-28*

I love how fast I can capture tasks and info in Defer. It's pretty to look at, and it has a reasonable subscription.

Feature Requests:
- multi-select for the inbox list, i.e. to multi-export items to app of choice, to copy/paste into app of choice
- images/media/files attachments
- inbox sort by date/time, manual sort
- color flag inbox item during send, i.e. to quick prioritize inbox items (example: hold/triple tap ↑ button to change color tag and send simultaneously) 

Bugs:
- slow/glitchy task sent animation

**Developer response:** Thanks! Great suggestions, some of them already be in the works ;-)

If you want to email me more details at support@hereand.co, I'd love to troubleshoot that slow/glitchy "task sent" animation you're seeing.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for with Bullet Journaling.

*2024-05-16*

A dead simple app to get thoughts out of my head when I don't have my journal near by. Works great. Sometimes it popus up when I don't click on it but I'm sure Levi can fix that. Hi, Levi!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! If you wanna email me over at support@hereand.co, we can try to take care of that "pops up when I don't click on it" issue.
