Mitamaton keeps up with your day so you don't have to. Open it in the morning and the day is already laid out. What is next. What came in overnight. What you said you would do and have not done yet. One board, no setup ritual. WHAT YOU GET ON DAY ONE A morning read of your day, written for you, not a list of raw rows. A board you can rearrange. Drag a card, resize it, keep the ones you use. Your next event, with the time, the place, and a join button for Meet, Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, and Webex links. Your inbox, sorted so the mail that needs you is on top and the rest stays quiet. Open tasks and notes in the same place as everything else. Steps, sleep, and activity from Apple Health, if you want them there. TALK TO IT Ask about your week in plain language. "What does Thursday look like?" "Did I miss anything from Sarah?" Paste a list of things you need to do and it will offer to turn them into to-dos. Nothing is saved until you say yes. Say "remind me Friday at 4" and it writes a real reminder into Apple Reminders, where the rest of your life already lives. IT ASKS BEFORE IT ACTS Nothing is sent, written, or changed without you confirming it. You can see what it remembers about you, and delete any of it. You can see every action it has taken, and every one it tried. Connect only what you want. Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Health, Gmail, Google Calendar. Skip the rest and it still works. MAKE IT YOURS Yours has a face and a shell you pick. Change the look whenever you feel like it. Put it on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Bind it to the Action Button. Ask Siri. FREE AND PRO Free includes the board, your calendar, reminders, health, and notes. Pro adds the morning read and chat, and can make changes for you. Mitamaton Pro is $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year.
