Just talk. Loop plans the rest. Rethread is your AI voice planner and second brain. Say what's on your mind, the way you'd tell a friend, and Loop turns your brain dump into tasks, reminders, calendar events and habits. No typing, no sorting, no forms. BRAIN DUMP β†’ TO-DO LIST "Pay rent, call the plumber, send the invoice by Friday." One voice note becomes a clean to-do list with due dates. You check it before anything is saved, so nothing gets added that you didn't mean. REMINDERS & CALENDAR Say "Dentist Friday at 4" and it goes on your calendar. Say "Remind me every month to pay rent" and you'll get a repeat reminder. Invite the people you saved to a meeting in a few taps. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Today's briefing shows what's due today, your next reminder and your next event, right at the top. Open the app and you know what's next. HABITS THAT TICK THEMSELVES Build a habit with Loop: run, read, drink water, meditate. When you say "ran 5 km" or "read 20 pages", Loop ticks it for you. Keep your streak going and see your progress week by week. REMEMBER THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE Mention who you met and what they told you. Loop saves the details to their profile: birthdays, plans, the little things. It also lets you know when someone has gone quiet, so you can reach out. TRACK ANYTHING Say "Spent 450 on food" or "Slept 7 hours", then ask for totals. The numbers are added up exactly from what you logged. ASK LOOP ANYTHING "What do I need to do this week?" "When is Maya's birthday?" "How much did I spend on food?" Loop finds it in your threads and answers with simple visual cards. ONE THREAD FOR EVERYTHING Every person, project and situation gets its own thread with notes, tasks, reminders and files (bills, tickets, PDFs) kept together in one place. PLAN TOGETHER Create a small team with family, friends or coworkers and share tasks. Assign them, set due dates and see what's done. MADE FOR BUSY MINDS If your head is full and planner apps feel like work, Rethread is for you. It's an ADHD-friendly way to get thoughts out of your head and into a plan, just by talking. Rethread is great for: β€’ A daily planner and to-do lists β€’ Brain dumps and quick voice notes β€’ Reminders and calendar events β€’ Habit tracking and routines β€’ Remembering names, birthdays and follow-ups β€’ Family and small-team tasks Tap the mic, say what's on your mind, and let Loop plan the rest.
