Tasks keeps your lists on your Pebble, your Apple Watch, your iPhone and your Mac, the same everywhere. SAY IT, AND IT'S A LIST On the watch, choose + New list and say something like "packing list for a weekend in Lisbon". Tasks writes the list with its items. Add more to any list by voice, from the watch or the iPhone. CHECK IT OFF ON YOUR WRIST Open a list on the watch and press SELECT to check an item. Changes go both ways in a few seconds. MADE FOR PEBBLE Big, clear lists with the watch's own icons, colours and animations. A square progress row shows how far along you are. Works on Pebble Time 2, Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Round 2. A CALM LIST APP ON THE IPHONE Icons and colours for every list, sections inside a list, notes on any item (a link, a size, a phone number), due dates with reminders, search that shows the items it found, light and dark themes and alternate app icons. Due items also appear on your Pebble's timeline. IPHONE DUO, IPAD AND EVERY WINDOW Open iPhone Duo and your lists sit beside the open list, like Mail. Closed, the controls move to the side strip. On iPad the same layout, in as many windows as you like. A BOARD FOR ANY LIST Show a list as To do, Doing and Done, and drag items across. It syncs with the Mac's board. WIDGETS, CONTROLS AND SIRI Tick items off from the Home Screen and the Lock Screen, start a list from Control Center or the Action button, and ask Siri "what's left on Groceries". Lists and items show up in Spotlight. PASTE A LIST Paste or drop a list from Notes, Mail or Safari: every line becomes an item, checked boxes and all. SHARE A LIST Invite people with a link or an 8-character code they can type in Tasks. Everyone sees the same items and who checked each one off. Sharing is free. ONE ACCOUNT, EVERY DEVICE Sign in with Apple or Google and your lists follow you to Tasks for Mac, your Apple Watch and your Pebble. LINK ONCE Open Tasks on your Pebble, press SELECT for a code and type it in Settings › Pebble watch. That's it. TASKS PRO Lists on the iPhone are free.

A daily notes app for people who work on their feet. Its live voice mode doesn't just take dictation: it finds your notes, edits them, answers questions, and even does the math, all while you talk. Get what's in your head onto the page, minus the clutter. LIVE MODE: TALK, AND IT ACTS This isn't dictation. Live mode understands what you mean and does it, in real time: • Find anything: ask "what did I note about the trip budget?" and the note surfaces. • Edit hands-free: add to, rewrite, or clean up a note by talking. • Ask anything: get answers from your notes, or quick answers to anything else. • Do the math: say "what's 15% of 2,400?" and get the answer on the spot. CAPTURE BY VOICE Just want it written down? Tap record and talk — your words become clean, transcribed notes instantly. MEETINGS, HANDLED Record and transcribe entire meetings, then get clean, searchable notes. Pair with your own notes and use AI to summarize. YOUR PERSONAL WIKI Mention a person, company, or date and Grug Notes tags it for you, then builds a page that pulls together every note where it comes up. A second brain, minus the busywork. PLAN IT WITH GRUG CHAT Organize each day with prompts you choose — Goals, Tasks, Training, whatever fits. Then tell Grug Chat what you're working toward and it drafts the plan straight into your days: training for a race, next week's jobs, a simple travel itinerary. You review everything it proposes before it lands. CHATGPT, GEMINI, AND CLAUDE. ONE APP. Grug Chat runs on the models you already know — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and more — with one subscription. Pick a favorite, or ask several at once and compare their answers. WORKOUTS FROM APPLE HEALTH Plan the training, then let the results log themselves. Connect Apple Health and every workout becomes a note on the day it happened — distance, duration, pace, heart rate, and calories, right next to what you planned. Read-only, opt-in, and only from the workout apps you approve. PICK UP ANYWHERE Notes sync automatically between your phone and the web. Start anywhere, pick up right where you left off. BUILT BY A CANOE SHOP We build canoes for a living, on our feet all day with our hands full. Every notes app we tried was made for someone sitting at a desk. So we built the one we actually needed: talk to it, and it works. No keyboard required. Download and start talking. — Terms of Use: https://grugnotes.com/tos/ Privacy Policy: https://grugnotes.com/privacy/
