Your to-dos are in one app, your calendar entries in another, and the thing you told Siri to remind you about is in another ecosystem altogether. HYPER puts all 3 on one calm screen, built for brains that jump around. 6 WAYS TO ADD TASKS, LIGHTNING FAST 1. Action Button: press it to add a task from anywhere, even the Lock Screen. 2. Pull down: pull your list down and a new task drops in under your thumb. 3. Calendars: Apple and Google events land on your schedule automatically. 4. Siri: "Hey Siri, remind me to call Joe at 6pm" syncs straight into HYPER. 5. Widgets: tap a Lock Screen or Home Screen widget and start typing. 6. Quick add: the box stays open after every task. Type, return, type, return. YOUR DAY IN ONE PLACE • Your Apple and Google calendar events sync automatically and appear as tasks in HYPER. • Apple Reminders also appear as tasks, so you can see everything that you need to do in one place. • "Hey Siri, remind me to call the dentist at 4" lands straight in your schedule within HYPER. • Drag a task onto an hour to schedule it, or snooze it to later. BUILT ON 3 IDEAS FROM BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE 1. Eat the frog. Each morning, pick your single Most Important Task. HYPER pins it to the top with a gold border, and everything else feels easier once it's done. 2. Don't break the chain. Daily, weekly and monthly habits build streaks you won't want to lose. Link a habit to a calendar event and the event ticks it off. Rest days don't break your streak. 3. Pomodoro timer. Focus mode breaks work into short, focused bursts, so getting started feels easy. Your timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. CUSTOMISE - MAKE IT YOURS • Choose which lists live in your tab bar: shopping, work, links, whatever you reach for most. • Share any list with an invite code. Everyone can add and tick things off. AVAILABLE ON ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES, NO ACCOUNT • No sign-up, no password. Everything syncs through your iCloud. • Mac: press Option-Command-T anywhere to add a task without leaving what you're doing, or use the menu bar. • iPad: use your Apple Pencil to make notes, sketch ideas or brainstorm. • Apple Watch: your lists on your wrist. PRICING The first 100 members get HYPER free for life. After that, the earlier you join the less you pay, and whatever price you join at is yours for life. Every subscription starts with a free week, and if you don't like subscriptions you can pay once for life. Terms of Use: https://hypertodo.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://hypertodo.com/privacy

About

NoteWorthy

Read full description

Smart notes that never leave your device. NoteWorthy writes your titles, summarizes your notes, cleans up your formatting and files everything in the right place. All of it runs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. There is no account to create, no server to trust and no internet connection required, because the app makes no network requests at all. NOW ON THE MAC NoteWorthy 2.0 is a native Mac app. It sits on the edge of your screen as a notebook of flaps, one per label: pull a flap and its notes slide out. Capture a note without leaving what you are doing, keep a sticky on the desk beside your work, and reach your recent notes from the menu bar. AI Format and AI Organize run on your Mac, not on a server. WRITE Rich text with real Markdown underneath. Checkboxes, headings, bold and italic, tables and images. Pick from six paper colors. Scan text straight out of a photo. LET IT ORGANIZE Every note gets a title and lands in Tasks, Work, Ideas, Info or Personal on its own. Make your own labels and pin the ones you use most. One tap on AI Organize tidies the whole library, and running it twice changes nothing, because filing reads what is already stored rather than asking a model to guess again. AI FORMAT AND AI SUMMARIZE Jot something down messily and let it become a proper structured note, with lists, checkboxes and headings, and your wording untouched. Or pull a long note down to a sentence or two. Preview both before anything is applied. EVERYWHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Add to NoteWorthy from any share sheet, including Safari selections. Five Shortcuts actions for Siri, the Action button and automations, including Summarize and Format, which work on text from any app. Widgets for your Home Screen and your Mac desktop, with checkboxes you can tick without opening the app. Spotlight finds your notes. JOINED UP Dates become calendar events. People link to your contacts. Addresses open in Maps. Set a reminder before a deadline. YOURS ALONE Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Notes are written to disk with file protection. Export any note as Markdown and take it with you. Each device keeps its own notes: nothing is copied to a cloud. One download for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in 11 languages. Note: on-device intelligence needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Elsewhere NoteWorthy falls back to fast built-in heuristics and works just as well for writing, filing and search.
