Keep action beside the idea

A map is more useful when the supporting note, next action and deadline remain attached to the thought that created them.

Choose the card that matches the job

Use a short Thought for an idea, a Note for reference, a task for something that can be completed, and a Table when information belongs in rows and columns. Convert between compatible card types without throwing the original content away.

Add only the detail you need

Cards can carry notes, checklists, dates and optimised images. The canvas stays concise because supporting detail opens when you need it. Quick actions make it possible to complete, schedule, move, duplicate or convert a card close to where you are working.

See dated work once

Today collects cards with relevant dates from their original spaces. Completing or editing one updates the source card, so there is no second task database to reconcile.

Keep tables lightweight

Tables are useful for small comparisons, contact lists, budgets and simple trackers that belong inside a branch. For heavy calculation or thousands of rows, a spreadsheet remains the better tool.
