Speak your mind. AI sticks it. Turn a brain dump into sticky notes you can act on. Watermelon brings your to-do list, quick notes, and everyday ideas onto a colorful board, with AI to help sort what needs doing from what you want to remember. SAY IT WHILE IT’S FRESH Hold to speak and capture several thoughts in one go. Watermelon can separate them into tasks and notes, picking out dates and details for your to-dos. Prefer typing? Type your thoughts, or paste text and links into a quick note. A PLACE FOR TASKS AND IDEAS Buy groceries. Call the plumber tomorrow. Save an idea for the weekend. Keep actions and reference notes together, without turning every thought into something to check off. Move sticky notes to make the board your own, or switch to the classic view. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Give each task the structure it needs: • Checklists for groceries, packing, and errands • Stages for work with a few clear steps • Counts for pages read or repetitions completed • Percentages for work that moves forward a little at a time AI can suggest a structure, and you can edit it. See how far you’ve come before a task is finished. CHANGE PLANS OUT LOUD Hold a task card and say “move it to Friday,” “add milk,” or “make it high priority.” Review the suggested changes and apply them when they look right. START THE DAY WITH A NEXT STEP Use Daily Check-in to revisit loose ends, note what’s blocked, and choose a next step. In the evening, Daily Recap brings together the tasks you completed that day. KEEP YOUR DAY CLOSE Organize work and life into lists and projects. Set reminders, keep tasks handy with Home Screen widgets, and capture or check tasks on Apple Watch. Add notes and photos to your calendar diary when there’s more to remember. START FREE Get started without creating a Watermelon account. Free AI actions are included; usage limits apply. Pro adds features including unlimited projects, iCloud sync, and calendar sync. AI availability depends on your device and selected service; cloud AI requires internet access and may process the text you provide. Some features require Pro or system permissions. Get it out of your head. Give it a place in Watermelon.

Kenotex uses AI to turn each thought straight into a task, calendar event, or check-in habit — created as soon as it parses, with no second confirmation step.

CAPTURE NATURALLY • Write or speak in plain language • Add several thoughts as separate blocks • Get structured results immediately, then adjust or discard • Use manual or automatic parsing FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS • See urgent and upcoming tasks in Focus • Organize projects and categories with Shelves • Add priorities, start dates, deadlines, reminders, and recurrence • Postpone or skip tasks without losing the bigger plan • Review completion history PUT TASKS AND EVENTS ON ONE TIMELINE See todos and calendar events together.
