Your Notion databases, one tap away. Nutshell turns the databases you already have in Notion into a fast, focused mobile app. Tasks, groceries, habits, reading lists, projects — whatever you track in Notion, Nutshell puts it on your home screen and gets you in and out in seconds. A TAB BAR THAT'S YOURS Build your own navigation. Each tab on the bottom bar shows a list, a group of lists you pick, or every list from a database — as many or as few tabs as you want. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Add new pages with a quick-entry sheet that feels like a dedicated to-do app, not a document editor. Templates can pre-fill properties for you — a page added from your "Today" list is already dated today. LISTS THAT MATCH YOUR SETUP Filter and sort pages the way you do in Notion, and choose exactly which properties each card shows. No digging through pages to find the view you need. EDIT ON THE GO Check things off, update properties, and append quick notes to a page's content — all without waiting for Notion to load. WORKS OFFLINE Your pages are stored on your device. Changes are saved locally first and synced to Notion; if you're offline, just sync again when you're back. WIDGETS FOR ANY LIST Put any list on your home screen with customizable widgets. Tap an item to open it in Nutshell or jump straight to Notion — your choice. FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY The free version lets you connect one Notion workspace and browse your databases. Nutshell Pro unlocks editing and quick add, home screen widgets, unlimited tabs and workspaces, and every layout — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Nutshell requires a Notion account. Nutshell is an independent app and is not affiliated with Notion Labs, Inc.

A little structure. A lot more headspace. Shasks brings tasks and projects together on iPhone and Apple Watch. Capture a thought in natural language, make a plan, and reuse the projects you come back to. BUILD THE PLAN ONCE. USE IT AGAIN. Give a project its tasks, sections, and deadlines. Complete it when the work is done, or set it to repeat for your next weekly review, monthly checklist, or recurring process. Repeating projects carry their template tasks and sections into the next occurrence. TYPE THE TASK. SET THE DETAILS. Write “Call Alex tomorrow 3pm p1” and Quick Add recognizes the date, time, and priority. Add deadlines, choose an existing list with #, or an existing tag with @. See the recognized details before you save. You can also dictate a task instead of typing. REPEAT ON YOUR SCHEDULE. Choose a regular calendar schedule or repeat after completion. Every Friday and a week after you finish are different plans; Shasks supports both for tasks and projects. CAPTURE WHAT YOU FIND. Send links, text, photos, and files to Shasks from the iOS Share sheet. Keep notes, checklists, and attachments with the task so the details are there when you need them. MAKE ROOM FOR TODAY. • Focus with Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Someday • Organize with areas, projects, headings, and tags • Set dates, deadlines, time reminders, and optional location reminders • View read-only calendar events alongside your tasks, or copy a task to Calendar • Access tasks locally and keep them synchronized through your account • Check Inbox and Today from Apple Watch Shasks has no advertising and does not track you across apps or websites.
