たすくんは、GTD(Getting ThingsDone)を実践するためのタスク管理アプリです。 ■ 思いついた瞬間に放り込む ロック画面のコントロールやウィジェットから、最短で入力画面が開きます。 整理はあとで。まず頭の外に出すことに集中できます。 ■ 端末内の AI が整理を手伝う 「明日までに見積もりを送る」と書けば、期限と文脈の候補を提案します。 推論はすべて端末内で完結し、入力した内容が外部に送信されることはありません。 AI が使えない端末でも、手動ですべて操作できます。 ■ 止まっているプロジェクトを見つける GTD が破綻する最大の原因は「進行中なのに次の一歩が決まっていないプロジェクト」です。 たすくんはそれを検出して警告し、その場で次のアクションを決められます。 ■ 全体を見渡す / 今できることだけに絞る 状態ごとに分けた「すべて」で全体を把握し、 「フォーカス」に切り替えると今すぐ着手できるものだけが残ります。 場所や道具(@home / @office / @phone / @pc)での絞り込みもできます。 ■ iPhone 間で同期 iCloud を使って端末間で同期します。データはあなたの iCloudアカウントの中にあります。 【主な機能】 ・ロック画面のコントロール/ウィジェットからのクイック追加 ・端末内 AI による自然文の構造化(提案。確定はあなたが行います) ・Inbox / 次のアクション / 他者待ち / いつかやる ・コンテキストによる絞り込み ・プロジェクト管理と次アクション欠落の検出 ・iCloud 同期
