Stop typing your to-do list. Tasks don't arrive as neat sentences. They arrive as a photo of a whiteboard, a voice memo in the car, a line buried in an email. Ango Tasks reads all three and turns them into real tasks — with the dates already set. CAPTURE ANYTHING • Snap a photo. A whiteboard, a handwritten list, a screenshot, a printed agenda — Ango finds every task in it. • Say it out loud. "Call the dentist Thursday morning" becomes a scheduled task before you've put the phone down. • Paste a wall of text. An email, a meeting note, a message thread — get a clean checklist back. DATES THAT JUST WORK Type the way you talk. "Buy milk tomorrow at 3pm." "Pay rent every 1st." "Follow up in two weeks." Ango reads it and sets the reminder. No date pickers, no drop-downs. PLAN THE DAY, NOT JUST THE LIST A to-do list tells you what's outstanding. Ango tells you when to do it — ask it to plan your day and it time-blocks your tasks around what's already on your calendar. ORGANIZED THE WAY YOU ALREADY THINK • Smart lists that sort themselves • Month, week and day calendar views • Hashtags and instant search across everything • Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Apple Reminders — nothing to migrate, nothing locked in • Share a list with anyone and watch it update live • Home screen widgets, Siri and Shortcuts NATIVE ON EVERY SCREEN Built in SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Your lists follow you across all of them. FREE, PROPERLY Six lists and 20 AI extracts a day — no account wall, no trial countdown, no watermark. Use Ango this way for as long as you want. ANGO PREMIUM • 500 lists • 200 AI extracts per day • Priority support $2.99 per month, or $29.99 per year (save 17%).
