Tasks and subtasks, your way Break big goals into a task tree — parent tasks with unlimited subtasks. Set priorities, complete a whole branch at once, search instantly, and sort by date, name or priority. Beat procrastination with Pomodoro Start a focus session in one tap, or launch one from any task.
