Capture it first. Sort it later. A thought is gone before you get back to it. Box is a small box for keeping it. Put down whatever comes to mind, before you think it through. Shape it later, when you have the time. Box is a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ■ Box, Note, Do ・Box Save thoughts, links, photos, and files. Sorting can wait. ・Note For anything worth more than a line. Every edit is kept in history, so you can always go back. ・Do Today, List, and Buy are ready from the start. Add the lists you need as you go. Inside the app, Inbox is simply "Box" and ToDo is "Do." It's a tool you reach for every day, so the names stay light. ■ What it does ・iPhone, iPad, and Mac (native SwiftUI) ・Private sync over iCloud ・Quick save from the share sheet (iPhone, iPad) ・Quick save from the menu bar (Mac / ⌃⌥⌘B) ・Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets ・A focus timer with Live Activity ・Projects, tags, and attachments ・A Trash that keeps items for 30 days ■ Free to start The free version holds up to 10 items across Box, Note, and Do.
