Turn a busy mind into a clear plan. ACTIS combines an AI to-do list, daily planner, reminders, and goals so you can capture what matters and decide what to do next. PLAN WITH AI Write naturally or dictate a voice note. ACTIS helps turn your message into task drafts, break work into subtasks, and update dates, times, priorities, and descriptions. Review and accept new drafts before adding them to your plan. Ask the AI assistant what is next or use web search to research a task. SIRI AI AND APPLE SHORTCUTS Use ACTIS App Shortcuts to add tasks, ask what is next, get a Today briefing, and start a task-linked focus timer. On eligible iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 devices, these shortcuts can be used with Siri AI. Supported Shortcuts actions can also prepare an AI day plan or suggest subtasks for you to review. Siri AI is an Apple feature in beta and currently requires English, an Apple Intelligence-capable device, and an eligible region. It is not currently available on iPhone or iPad in the EU or mainland China. Classic Siri and Shortcuts remain available where supported. AI planning actions are subject to your ACTIS plan and usage limits. SEE YOUR DAY CLEARLY Choose Grouped, Flat List, or Timeline views. Plan by day or week, set task duration, and use Apple Calendar integration to organize tasks around your appointments. KEEP THE DETAILS TOGETHER Keep notes and checklists inside tasks, connect tasks to goals, and set dates, priorities, recurring schedules, and reminders. Urgent reminder delivery depends on device support and system permissions. ACTIS brings work, study, projects, and everyday plans into one place. SUBSCRIPTION NOTICE: Some features require a separate paid subscription, such as ACTIS Plus or ACTIS Pro, including higher AI usage limits and advanced planning capacity. Subscriptions are auto-renewable and billed monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase, or after any free trial ends. Subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
