A place for your tasks, projects, and daily plan. Anchor organizes your day around focus blocks. Group tasks into a block, give it some time in your calendar, and work through them at your own pace. When plans change, move things around. CAPTURE YOUR TASKS Type a task as it comes to mind. Use Smart Dates to add a date as you type, or hold New To Do and talk through several things at once. Anchor turns what you say into tasks, with projects, dates, and urgency levels, privately with Apple Intelligence.* KEEP PROJECTS ORGANIZED Keep related tasks in projects. Add dividers to separate sections, notes to hold the details, and urgency levels to show what needs attention. Drag tasks into the order that works for you. PLAN WITH FOCUS BLOCKS Bring tasks into a block alongside your calendar events. Set up repeating blocks for the regular parts of your week. Focus on one block at a time, and move unfinished tasks forward when you need to. PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE Your tasks, projects, and focus blocks sync through your private iCloud.
