Getting started
Two minutes from landing to your first task. Make an account, learn the one mental model the whole app rests on — Projects → Lists → Tasks— and let the app seed a little sample content so the empty page isn’t the first thing you see.
Making an account
You can sign up with an email and password, or with Continue with Google or Continue with Apple — whichever you prefer. Passwords need at least 8 characters. After you enter an email and password we send a 6-digit codeto that address; type it back in to confirm the address is yours, and you’re in.
Create your account
••••••••••
The code lands in your inbox in a few seconds. Mistyped your email, or the code never arrived? Step back, fix the address, and request a new one — codes are short-lived on purpose.
One account, however you sign in
Accounts are linked by email. If you first sign up with a password and later tap Continue with Googleusing the same address, it’s the same account — same projects, same tasks, no duplicate. Pick whatever sign-in is convenient that day; as long as the email matches, you land in the same place.
Forgot your password
From the sign-in screen, choose Forgot passwordand enter your email. We’ll send a code to confirm it’s you, then let you set a new password (again, 8 characters or more). If you originally signed up with Google or Apple, you don’t need a password at all — just continue with that provider.
Signing in from an invite
Someone shared a project with you via a link? Opening it shows a “You’ve been invited” banner. Sign in or make an account right from there, and the invite is applied automatically the moment your account exists — the shared project is waiting in your sidebar when you arrive. No code to copy, nothing to redeem by hand.
The shape of everything: Projects → Lists → Tasks
The whole app is three nested ideas, and once they click, nothing else needs explaining.
- Projects
- The top level — a body of work or an area of life. Marketing site, Engineering, Personal. Projects are also where sharing and people live, so they’re real boundaries, not just folders.
- Lists
- Sit inside a project to group its tasks — phases, workstreams, or simple buckets. A project can have as many lists as it needs, and each list shows a count of its open tasks.
- Tasks
- The smallest unit: a single thing to do. A task lives in a list, and can carry a due date, a note, subtasks, tags, and an owner. Nothing is required but the title.
Cutting acrossall of that are the smart views — Today, Upcoming, Assigned to me — which gather tasks from every project by when they’re due or who owns them. Projects organize; views focus.
Launch checklist
Your first few minutes
On a brand-new account, the app offers to Add sample content. Take it — it seeds a small “👋 Welcome” project with a list and a handful of example tasks, so you can see how everything fits before you type a word.
- 1Choose Add sample content on the welcome screen to seed the 👋 Welcome project.
- 2Open a task, give it a due date or a note, and complete one to feel the rhythm.
- 3Make your own project for something real, and add a task or two with the bar at the bottom.
- 4When the examples have served their purpose, delete the 👋 Welcome project like any other — it’s ordinary content, not a fixture.
