Your head is full. Ordo empties it. Type or say everything on your mind, in any order, all at once. Ordo turns it into a clean list, sorted into three places: NOW — for today NEXT — for soon SOMEDAY — for no rush Most apps want you to get organized before you can start. Ordo works the other way: dump it as messy as it is, and get back a list that makes sense. No folders, no projects, no setup. DUMP IT • One box for everything. Type it, or tap the mic and say it as it comes. • One thing or ten: “call the landlord today, book the dentist for Tuesday, buy milk” becomes three cards, each in its place. • Add from anywhere: share text from another app, or ask Siri to “Dump to Ordo”. MAKE IT YOURS • Move any card between Now, Next and Someday with a tap. • Rename it, add notes, star what matters. • Swipe to delete. Deleted things wait 30 days in case you change your mind. • Tick things off. Keep them where they are, or send them to Done: everything you finished, in one place. Your choice in Settings. WHEN IT MATTERS • Say a time, like “call the dentist at 4” or “wake me up at 7”, and Ordo sets a reminder. • Choose how each one reaches you: a notification, or an alarm that rings like the Clock app (iOS 26). • See your reminders in Apple Reminders too, if you like. Alerts come from Ordo, so you never get two. • A home screen widget shows what’s Now. Tick things off right there. MADE FOR • The end of a long day, when everything is still in your head. • Leaving a meeting or a class with five new things to do. • Ideas that show up at the wrong moment. • Anyone who has tried a planner and given up on the setup. CALM BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. Your list lives on your phone. • Light or dark, each designed with care. Ordo follows your phone, or you pick one in Settings. • Back up and restore anytime. To sort a dump, its words go to Ordo’s sorting service, so sorting needs a connection. Offline? Ordo keeps your dump and sorts it when you’re back.
