Turn ideas into action—without sorting everything by hand. Type or speak naturally in Ideas. Kenotex uses AI to turn each thought straight into a task, calendar event, or check-in habit — created as soon as it parses, with no second confirmation step. The result card sits under your original text, so you can adjust the details, tick it off, or discard the whole thing. Focus, Timeline, Calendar, and Check-in then help you follow through. CAPTURE NATURALLY • Write or speak in plain language • Add several thoughts as separate blocks • Get structured results immediately, then adjust or discard • Use manual or automatic parsing FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS • See urgent and upcoming tasks in Focus • Organize projects and categories with Shelves • Add priorities, start dates, deadlines, reminders, and recurrence • Postpone or skip tasks without losing the bigger plan • Review completion history PUT TASKS AND EVENTS ON ONE TIMELINE See todos and calendar events together.
