Every feature is available without a purchase, and there are no ads. Capture what is on your mind Add tasks from anywhere in the app, share text and links into your inbox, or use the Home Screen widget. Dictate a thought with your device's speech recognizer, and attach photos or voice memos. Clarify your inbox Process Inbox guides you through each item: Is it actionable? Can you do it in two minutes? Is it a next action, a project, something to delegate, or something for later? Empty your inbox by deciding what each item means. Organize your commitments Keep Next Actions, Projects, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Calendar and Reference in dedicated lists. Give projects an outcome and see which ones need a next action. Use contexts, tags and Areas of Responsibility to organize work and life. Choose the next action Filter actions by context, available time and energy. Build a daily plan and find work that fits the moment, whether you have five minutes at home or an hour at your computer. Keep your system current A guided Weekly Review helps you capture loose ends, clear your inbox, and review actions, waiting items, projects, your calendar and Someday/Maybe. Save your progress and continue later. Remember what matters Set due dates, deferred actions, waiting-for follow-ups and repeating tasks. Reminder notifications offer actions such as Done and Snooze. Optional system-calendar integration works with the calendar you choose. Notification delivery depends on your device permissions and settings. Bring your tasks with you Import supported exports from Todoist, TickTick, Nirvana, Google Tasks, Things 3 and OmniFocus, or paste a plain-text list.

Vantli

Vantli is a task and project manager built around Getting Things Done (GTD) — the simple idea that your mind is for having ideas, not holding onto them. Capture anything, instantly. Type it, dictate it, snap a photo, or attach a file — right from the top of your Inbox. Nothing gets lost, nothing has to be filed away perfectly in the moment. Clarify when you're ready. Turn a raw capture into a real task: give it a clear title, decide what kind of commitment it is — a Next Action you can do right now, something you're Waiting For from someone else, a Someday idea you're not ready to commit to, or just file it under a project with No status yet — add context tags, a due date, and any attachments. See exactly what to do next. Your Next Actions list is organized by context, project, or due date, so you can look at your day the way that actually makes sense to you — what you can do at your desk, what you can do on the phone, what's due this week. Track what you're waiting on. Delegated something? Waiting for a reply? Vantli keeps a dedicated list so those open loops don't quietly disappear. Review with confidence. A guided weekly review walks stale tasks, cold projects, and your someday list one at a time, so nothing sits forgotten and your system stays trustworthy. Organize with projects and contexts. Group related tasks into projects, tag them with contexts like @calls or @errands, and see everything at a glance. Vantli is built for people who want their task list to be a place they actually trust — not another inbox to feel guilty about.
