Dysperse isn't just another productivity app—it's productivity reimagined for the way you actually work Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of task management, but way more elegant. At its core, everything starts with a simple task. You can create one by voice, text, or even natural language like "coffee meeting tomorrow at 3." But here's where it gets interesting—those tasks become building blocks for something much bigger. You group tasks into labels, and labels into collections. The beauty? Labels can live across multiple collections. Your "Calculus" label might appear in both your "School" collection and your "Math Tutoring" collection. It's like having one organizational system that adapts to every part of your life. The real magic happens with tabs. Just like your browser, you can open multiple collections in tabs, drag them around, and switch between them with familiar keyboard shortcuts. Each tab can display your tasks in completely different ways—maybe you want a Kanban board for your work projects while keeping a calendar view for personal stuff. Nine different views mean nine different ways to see the same information. But Dysperse doesn't stop at organization. Your home screen becomes your command center with customizable widgets—Spotify controls, weather updates, stock prices, even custom background patterns. With 33+ themes, custom app icons, and both light and dark modes, it truly becomes yours. The integration game is strong too. Forward emails to tasks@dysperse.com and watch them transform into actionable tasks. Connect your Canvas LMS to see assignment details right from your task list. Add friends and share collections instantly—whether as templates for the community or private collaborations. And here's the kicker: it all works offline. Your productivity doesn't pause when your internet does. Plus, with features like subtasks, push notifications, and AI-powered categorization through Sidekick, Dysperse handles the heavy lifting while you focus on getting things done. This isn't about forcing you into someone else's workflow—it's about building a system that bends to fit exactly how your brain works. Whether you're a visual thinker who needs Kanban boards, a time-based planner who lives in calendars, or someone who just wants a simple list, Dysperse adapts. It's productivity that finally feels human

Watch it happen. --- FULL HOME ASSISTANT INTEGRATION HomeAI connects directly to your Home Assistant server and puts your entire smart home at your fingertips — or rather, at the tip of your tongue. Control lights, thermostats, locks, fans, blinds, media players, cameras, sensors and more. Query device states, trigger scenes, and even create or edit automations — all through natural conversation. No cloud middleman. No extra hub. Just you and your home. --- POWERED BY THE AI OF YOUR CHOICE Why lock you into one AI?

Use the latest models the moment they're released. --- TALK. LISTEN. DONE. Tap the microphone and speak naturally. HomeAI understands context, handles follow-up questions, and responds in a warm, natural voice. Choose from premium text-to-speech engines — OpenAI, Inworld, Google Gemini — or use the built-in iOS voice. Fully configurable. "Turn off all the lights downstairs." "What's the temperature in the living room?" "Lock the front door and set the thermostat to 68." "Create an automation that turns on the porch light at sunset." It just works. --- CONTROL FROM YOUR WRIST The companion Apple Watch app gives you instant voice control without even pulling out your phone. Tap, speak, get an answer — from anywhere in your home or on the go. Settings sync automatically from your iPhone.

Ever. • API keys stored securely in the iOS Keychain — encrypted and hardware-backed. • Conversations go directly from your device to the AI provider you choose. HomeAI never sees them. • Home Assistant commands go directly to your own server. Your home. Your data. Your control. --- MAKE IT YOURS Name your home. Pick your language (English, French, or Spanish). Define a custom persona for your assistant — formal, friendly, playful, or anything in between.
