About

Context

Features
Read full description

Context is the task manager built around the different versions of you — Work, Personal, Study, Health — 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 — get it out of your head and back to your day. FOCUS WHEN IT MATTERS Pick a task and enter Focus — 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 — 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 — 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.

About

Synapse AI

Read full description

Synapse is a planner that connects your daily tasks to your goals. Each goal splits into stages, each stage into concrete tasks, and progress is tracked automatically. Syn, the built-in assistant, updates your plan from a single sentence, typed or spoken. HOME SCREEN WIDGET • Check off today's tasks right from the widget • Tap Speak and say "add a 5 dollar coffee expense" — it's logged in Finances • Tap Report to hear your daily summary read aloud GOALS AND STAGES • Goals, stages and tasks in one place • See which of today's tasks move you toward a goal • The goal map shows everything at once, so stalled goals stand out SYN, YOUR ASSISTANT • Talk naturally: "move the call to Friday", "plan my day" • Syn updates the plan and shows exactly what changed • Dictate tasks with automatic punctuation • Morning report: what's urgent, what slipped and where to start • Listen to Syn's replies TASKS • Today, Tomorrow, In two days, This week and Later • Set a day, a deadline like "by 6 pm" or a time slot like "10:00–11:30" • Repeat by weekday or day of the month, subtasks, reminders • Missed tasks stay on your list, so nothing quietly disappears FINANCES • Log an expense in one line: "coffee 4" — amount and category are filled in for you • Debts, savings jars and subscriptions with monthly totals • See how much money is free right now, no spreadsheets needed FOCUS AND CALM • Pomodoro you can see: time drains like a wave, a fuse burns down under the timer • Meditation with rain, forest, fireplace, night and more — each sound has its own living scene ALSO INCLUDED • Notes with folders and shopping lists • Daily progress and a two-week chart on the My Focus screen • 22 color themes, light and dark mode, adjustable text size YOUR DATA Tasks, goals, lists and notes live on your iPhone and in your personal iCloud. Want them on your computer too? Turn on device sync and open synapseapp.ru — data travels end-to-end encrypted, so we can't read it. If iCloud is off, the app lets you know, and you can export a full backup as a single file. No ad trackers, no advertising identifier. Planning works offline; only the assistant and sync need an internet connection.
