Capture anything on your mind, process it one item at a time, organize actions and projects, focus on what you can do now, and review completed or deferred items. Main keeps the current action in front of you. Process turns raw captures into next actions, waiting items, someday ideas, reference notes, or projects. Engage helps you pick runnable actions, while Projects supports numbered steps and dependencies. A subscription is required for sync, category focus, background photos, and restore support.
