FROM A THOUGHT TO SOMETHING DONE - Capture a messy list, a quick thought or a spoken reminder before it slips away. - Find your next task in Now, Soon and Later. Move something to tomorrow when today is full. - Start a short visual focus timer and keep the countdown on your Lock Screen with a Live Activity. - Set reminders, including daily, weekly or monthly repeats. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your next task in view; Home Screen action buttons open Brindle to finish the action. - See what you finished in Progress, away from your task list.
