BreadCrumb helps you get things out of your head, keep them organized, and pick up where you left off. Your brain doesn’t think in neatly organized task lists. You might be thinking about work, a personal project, and an appointment—all in the same breath. That’s fine. Crumb can handle it. BRAIN DUMP WITHOUT SORTING IT FIRST Speak or type whatever’s on your mind. One project, five projects, a scattered stream of thoughts—it doesn’t matter. Crumb understands the different topics you’re talking about and can turn them into organized projects, tasks, and notes. It can also help update work you’ve already started, so you don’t have to navigate through everything yourself. Review what Crumb proposes and decide what to keep. CAPTURE IT WHENEVER IT HAPPENS Thoughts don’t wait until you’re sitting in front of your task manager. Capture ideas with Siri, quick actions, or directly in BreadCrumb. Share links, screenshots, images, and selected text from other apps into your Capture inbox. Get it out of your head now. Organize it when you’re ready. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Life interrupts. Projects get put aside. Sometimes days or weeks pass before you get back to something. Smart Re-entry helps you find your place again by surfacing where you left off and what deserves your attention next. Spend less time reconstructing the past and more time moving forward. KEEP YOUR PROJECTS MOVING See your work organized by what’s Up Next, In Progress, Stuck, Later, and Done. Keep notes, attachments, due dates, reminders, and important details connected to your projects so the context is there when you need it. TAKE ACTION WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE Your tasks don’t always end inside BreadCrumb. Add actions to your tasks so you’re ready to take the next step. Send a message, get directions, open a link, or run an Apple Shortcut—all from the task you’re working on. Keep the details connected to your project and move from planning to doing without losing your place. GET UNSTUCK WITH CRUMB When you’re not sure what to do next, talk it through with Crumb. It can use the context of your projects to help you find a way forward. BreadCrumb isn’t about filling your day with more tasks. It’s about making it easier to return to what matters and keep moving. Pick up where you left off. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
