It looks and feels like it belongs on your iPhone and iPad, because it does. Standard iOS lists, familiar gestures, and no learning curve. Productivity apps should help you do the work, not become the work. PLAN YOUR DAY β€’ Today brings together overdue tasks, today's tasks, your calendar, and tomorrow β€’ Suggested surfaces flagged and high-priority work.
