Introduction to tasks

Capture anything with natural language, then organize it when you're ready.


Tasks are the heart of Ally. Capture anything on your mind, then organize it when you're ready.

Add a task

Click + Add task, or press q anywhere for Quick Add. Type naturally — Ally reads dates, times and priorities as you go:

Pay invoice tomorrow 5pm p1

…sets the due date to tomorrow at 5pm and priority to P1 automatically.

Make tasks richer

  • Description — add context, links, and formatting.
  • Sub-tasks — break a big task into steps with + Add sub-task.
  • Assignee, due date, priority, labels, reminders — set them from the task's detail panel.

Find your tasks

Your tasks roll up into a few views: Inbox for quick capture, Today for what's due now, and Upcoming for the days ahead.
