Capture to-dos from anywhere
“Tasks hide in emails, texts, notes and my head.”
Send a text, voice note or photo of a handwritten list to an AI and it adds clean tasks to your to-do app with due dates.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Pick one to-do app as the single home for tasks.
- Connect it to an AI you can message (chat, text or voice).
- Each week, ask for a list of overdue and undated tasks to clean up.
Copy this prompt
Turn this into tasks for my to-do list: [text, voice note or photo]. Each task: a clear action starting with a verb, due date if mentioned, and which project. Don't guess dates. Show me the list before adding. Stop there.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
