Open Rippin and a blank page is waiting, keyboard up. Write the thought that just arrived. Then: — Swipe left and it becomes a task, with a reminder when you choose. Turn on Urgent for an alarm that rings until you stop it. — Swipe right and it's kept as a note, ready whenever you are. Rather not swipe? Tap Task or Note instead. ORGANIZED WITHOUT TRYING File notes and tasks into folders in bright colors and patterns. Smart lists gather what's due today, what's overdue and what you've flagged. Drag a note onto a folder to file it, or out into Files and other apps. PREFER APPLE REMINDERS? Send your tasks there instead, and add them with Siri.
