## What is Templator?

Stop rebuilding the same task lists. Templator lets you create a checklist once — weekly review, sprint kickoff, travel packing, client onboarding — then dispatch it to your todo app with one tap, every time you need it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a template with sections and tasks
2. Add dynamic variables like {{client}}, {{deadline}}, or {{priority}}
3. Tap Dispatch — fill in the blanks, pick a destination, done

SMART VARIABLES
- Text, date, number, and choice variable types
- Date picker, number pad, and dropdown inputs at dispatch time
- Set default values and reuse recently used entries
- Anchor due dates to a date variable for dynamic scheduling
- 2 variables free per template — unlimited with Pro

YOUR TODO APPS, CONNECTED
- Apple Reminders — zero setup, works instantly
- Todoist — dispatch to existing or new projects
- Things 3 — dispatches via URL scheme, creates projects with headings
- OmniFocus — dispatches via TaskPaper format with due dates

### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-25

Template Gallery is here — browse 49 ready-made templates across 8 categories (work, travel, health, events, and more) and add them to your library with a tap. No more starting from a blank page.
