Timely Tasks vs Ember

* Organize tasks based on when you’d like to get them done—plan tasks for today, up next and later, and easily switch tasks between them. * Focus on five primary tasks you want to get done today—from most important to nice to haves. * Use the built in timer (which can be customized) for focused Pomodoro sessions. * Set reminders for each task * Add categories or tags to organize your tasks * Daily reminder to add tasks for the day * Syncs your tasks across devices ** Universal App ** Buy once and use across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Notes-app simplicity. Task-app power. AI when you're stuck. You've tried every task app. They all made you configure projects, tap through modals, and manage systems instead of just... doing things. Ember is different. It works like a notes app — one tap, start typing, press return for the next task. Brain dump without friction. But underneath, it's a real task manager. TWO VIEWS. THAT'S IT. • Now — What you're focused on right now • Next — What's important but not yet Move tasks between them like a personal kanban — without the board, the columns, or the complexity. Just what matters now, and what's coming. DAILY RESET Every morning, Ember moves unfinished tasks from Now back to Next. Clean slate. No carryover guilt. If something's still important, pull it back into Now — intentionally, not by default. Clean slate, every morning. This is how you break the accumulation cycle. DELEGATE TO AI Some tasks sit in your list for days — not because they're hard, but because they're vague. "Research venue options for team offsite." Where do you even start? Tap delegate. Your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude) picks it up, asks the right questions, scopes the work, and gets you moving. No prompts to write. • Tag it, don't prompt it — One gesture during your normal task review. No blank prompt to stare at. • Works with your tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any agent that supports Model Context Protocol. Bring the agent you already use. • Not autopilot — Your agent asks before it acts. It's a capable colleague, not a black box. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Press plus. Start typing. Press return. Keep going. No modals. No "save" buttons. No three-step creation flows. Brain dump like you're writing notes, but every line becomes a real task. REPEATING TASKS Daily, weekly, monthly — or every other Friday, twice a week, whatever cadence your life needs. Tasks appear in Now when they're due. Finish early? Ember automatically reschedules. LISTS + VIEWS Lists hold your tasks (Home, Work, Finances). Views show you what to focus on (Now, Next, Upcoming). Pull tasks from any list into Now when you're ready. Organization without overhead. SUBTASKS Break big tasks into steps. Check them off as you go. Simple. BUILT FOR YOUR BRAIN Most task apps create a wall of shame — an ever-growing list of things you didn't do. Ember doesn't do that. Now holds what you're working on. Next holds what matters but isn't urgent. Nothing stares at you. Nothing guilts you. You move things to Now when you're ready — not because a badge told you to. • No friction — Capture is instant. If it takes more than 2 seconds, you won't do it. • No decisions — Now or Next. No priority levels, no color-coded tags, no "which project?" • No overwhelm — You only see what's relevant right now. • No wall of shame — Important things stay in Next without the guilt. THEMES THAT FEEL LIKE HOME Multiple color themes like: Dracula, Tokyo Night, Rosé Pine, Catppuccin, Nord, and Ember Pink. Dark mode that actually looks good. Make it your own. SIMPLE BY DESIGN Ember isn't the task app that does everything. It's the one that clears your head every morning — and helps use AI to get things done.
