Every feature is available without a purchase, and there are no ads. Capture what is on your mind Add tasks from anywhere in the app, share text and links into your inbox, or use the Home Screen widget. Dictate a thought with your device's speech recognizer, and attach photos or voice memos. Clarify your inbox Process Inbox guides you through each item: Is it actionable? Can you do it in two minutes? Is it a next action, a project, something to delegate, or something for later? Empty your inbox by deciding what each item means. Organize your commitments Keep Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Calendar and Reference in dedicated lists. Give projects an outcome and see which ones need a next action.

Save your progress and continue later. Remember what matters Set due dates, deferred actions, waiting-for follow-ups and repeating tasks. Reminder notifications offer actions such as Done and Snooze. Optional system-calendar integration works with the calendar you choose. Notification delivery depends on your device permissions and settings.
