Turn ideas into action—without sorting everything by hand. Type or speak naturally in Ideas. Kenotex uses AI to turn each thought straight into a task, calendar event, or check-in habit — created as soon as it parses, with no second confirmation step. The result card sits under your original text, so you can adjust the details, tick it off, or discard the whole thing. Focus, Timeline, Calendar, and Check-in then help you follow through. CAPTURE NATURALLY • Write or speak in plain language • Add several thoughts as separate blocks • Get structured results immediately, then adjust or discard • Use manual or automatic parsing FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS • See urgent and upcoming tasks in Focus • Organize projects and categories with Shelves • Add priorities, start dates, deadlines, reminders, and recurrence • Postpone or skip tasks without losing the bigger plan • Review completion history PUT TASKS AND EVENTS ON ONE TIMELINE See todos and calendar events together. Use Calendar and Agenda to understand today and the days ahead, with holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and lunar calendar details when available. BUILD ROUTINES THAT STICK Create check-in habits with flexible schedules, multiple check-ins per day, reminders, streaks, and progress statistics. LOCAL-FIRST, WITH OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC Your organizer data is stored locally by default. Enable iCloud to sync tasks, events, Ideas, check-ins, and settings across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. MADE FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Keep moving with iOS widgets, Live Activities, voice input, and Shortcuts. On Mac, use keyboard shortcuts plus Raycast, local API, and MCP integrations.
