# Aftertone

> Mac planner with auto-scheduling and a single-task focus screen

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.

## 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.
