Aftertone
Mac planner with auto-scheduling and a single-task focus screen
What is Aftertone?
Aftertone is a Mac app that combines a task list, a time-blocked calendar and a focus screen that shows one task at a time. It can turn pasted text or a screenshot into tasks, tag them by project and place them on the calendar automatically, with two-way Google Calendar sync. Daily and weekly reports show how much focused work was logged. The vendor describes itself as a small independent team in Manchester, UK.
Aftertone is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $16.67 per month, billed yearly ($200), or $20 billed monthly. See every plan
Good for
- Solo Mac users who plan the day as time blocks on Google Calendar
- People who prefer keyboard shortcuts to the mouse
- Reviewing each week how much focused work was actually done
Worth knowing
- Mac only (macOS 12 or later): it does not run on Windows or Linux, and iOS and Android apps are described as in development.
- There is no free plan; once the trial ends the single plan costs $20 per month, or $200 per year.
- Google Calendar is the only calendar integration the vendor's pages describe.
Key features
- Auto Plan and Auto Schedule
- Tasks are arranged into time blocks on the calendar automatically, so a day can be planned without placing every item by hand.
- Focus Mode
- Shows one task at a time and suggests the next when it is done. Sessions can be extended, shortened or paused for a break, and the calendar updates as you go.
- Auto Capture and Universal Capture
- Paste a block of text or add a screenshot and structured, project-tagged tasks land in the inbox. Pressing Command twice opens capture from anywhere on the Mac.
- Google Calendar sync
- Two-way sync with Google Calendar: existing events appear in Aftertone and time blocks created in Aftertone show up on the Google side.
- Daily and weekly reports
- A daily report email covers flow time, sessions and a project breakdown. The weekly report shows flow sessions, peak day, streak and tasks completed.
- Planning view and task notes
- A kanban-style planning view lays out every project for dragging and reprioritizing, and each task can carry Markdown notes.
