Context

Context is the task manager built around the different versions of you โ€” Work, Personal, Study, Health โ€” so each part of your life gets its own focused space. Switch the context and the whole app follows: its own color, its own tasks, its own priorities. Nothing else bleeds in. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Tap once and type naturally: "call mom tomorrow at 5". Context understands dates, times and priorities and files the task where it belongs. The fastest brain dump you've ever done โ€” get it out of your head and back to your day. FOCUS WHEN IT MATTERS Pick a task and enter Focus โ€” one giant task, a built-in Pomodoro timer (15/25/45 minutes), and nothing else on screen. Finish, snooze it to the back of the queue, and let the next task flow in. A DAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY FINISH P0/P1/P2 priority buckets keep the loud things loud and the quiet things quiet. The week strip shows what's planned without burying today. Done tasks stay visible โ€” struck through, satisfying, one tap to undo. Clear your day and enjoy the confetti. PRIVATE SPACES Lock any context behind Face ID. Your "Startup idea" list stays yours. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK Sign in with Apple and your tasks sync in realtime between iPhone and Mac (Context for macOS, with menu-bar capture from any app). Or skip the account entirely โ€” offline mode keeps everything on your device. MAKE IT YOURS Accent colors per context, renamable priority labels, custom avatars, a beautiful dark mode by default, and sounds and haptics that make completing things feel as good as it should.
