Infer is the to-do list that thinks ahead. It reads your calendar events and Slack messages to surface actionable tasks — so nothing falls through the cracks. How it works: • Connect your Calendar, and Infer suggests tasks from upcoming events — meeting prep, deadlines, follow-ups • Connect Slack, and Infer finds action items in your messages — requests, mentions, and commitments • Share text from any app (including Messages) and Infer extracts the tasks for you • On devices with Apple Intelligence, Infer uses on-device AI for smarter extraction Designed to be invisible: • One screen. No tabs, no sidebars, no clutter • Swipe right to complete. Swipe left to dismiss. Long press to edit • High-confidence tasks appear on your list. Lower-confidence ones go to "Maybe" • Pull down to scan for new tasks Privacy first: • All processing happens on your device • No data is collected, tracked, or sent to any server • Calendar and Slack access is read-only • AI runs entirely on-device via Apple Intelligence Works great as a standalone minimal to-do list too — no integrations required.
