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.

Just Plan does not show a list of tasks. It shows one flow of your day. DAY FEED Every task from every folder lands in a single feed: overdue, today, tomorrow, this week, later, no date. You no longer walk through five lists to find out what today looks like. The folder is just a coloured mark on the card. Swipe right to complete, swipe left to reschedule. SMART REMINDERS • Morning digest — one notification instead of ten: how many tasks today, how many overdue. • Timed reminders only for tasks that actually have a time. • Quiet hours: a notification that falls into the quiet interval is moved to an allowed time instead of being lost. • Persistent reminder: for an important task, repeat the alert every N minutes until it is done. • Snooze for 15 minutes straight from the notification, without opening the app. WEEK Seven days side by side: you can see that Tuesday is overloaded and Thursday is empty. Drag a task from one day to another. SYNC THROUGH YOUR OWN iCLOUD Tasks, folders, subtasks, templates and settings are the same on every Apple device signed in to the same Apple ID. No sign-up, no login, no password: it works with the Apple ID you are already using. Offline the app works exactly as before, and your edits find the other devices once you are back online. Edited the same task on two devices? Changes are merged, not overwritten. You can turn sync off at any time. ALSO INSIDE • Repeating tasks: daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly or a custom interval. • Subtasks with progress. • Folders with their own colour and emoji. • Four priority levels and labels. • Search by title and note. • Templates for tasks you create again and again. • Completion statistics. • Trash: deleted items are kept for 30 days. • Export and import as a file — a backup and a way to move to a new phone. • Light and dark theme, English and Russian. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Sync runs through your own iCloud. The app has no server of its own, and the developer never sees your tasks. No account, no sign-up, no password. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. With sync switched off the app does not touch the cloud at all. The backup is an ordinary file, and you decide where to keep it. Two permissions in total: showing notifications, and putting the app's own files into your iCloud storage. No camera, no location, no contacts, no microphone. Free, with no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads.
