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?

About

Vantli

Features
Read full description

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.
