Tasks / Items

Your to-dos, the notes you don’t want to forget, and your weekly plans all live in one place in Nyask. No matter the kind, you find and organize them the same way — and asking the AI to “tidy this up” works the same way too.

Everything in one place

Everything you create in Nyask — tasks, notes, plans — is called an Item. Because they share one name, they also share the same handling: due dates, labels, and a record of what happened. So an idea you jotted down as a note can grow into a task with a due date, naturally. No more “which app did I write that in?”

Three ways to use it

You’ll mostly use Items in these three forms.

Task

A “thing to do.” Add a due date or priority and get it done without forgetting. The star of Nyask.

Note

Something to remember. Keep ideas, memos, and meeting notes, and pull them up anytime.

Recurring task

Work that repeats weekly or monthly. Each time it’s due, that instance appears on its own.

A recurring task is split into a “template” and the “instance” it produces. You can choose how the next one appears — after you finish the last, or shifted earlier/later around holidays.

States show where it stands

Every task carries a state that shows where it is right now. Buckets like To do · In progress · Done are yours to shape around how you work. Finished ones move to the done side and unfinished ones stay at hand, so you can see how things are clearing up at a glance.

Filter by what you want to see

See all your tasks together in one list. Filter quickly by what you want — “due today,” “important only,” “tagged with that label” — and save the filters you use often with a name. One tap brings back the same view next time, so “today,” “later,” and “on hold” never get tangled. A plain keyword works, and so do stacked conditions like is:open priority:high, all from the same search bar.

Keep a running log

Each task has a discussion where you can log progress, things you notice, and decisions. Nyall (AI) reads what you leave there and uses it to build the “so what happened” summary, so the history is easy to follow when you look back.

Just talk to Nyall (AI) and you can create, organize, and filter all of this with words alone. See the Nyall AI guide as well.
