## Key features

- **Captures and Inbox:** A capture holds a thought that is not yet actionable. The Inbox lists unprocessed captures until each is turned into an action, deferred with a reminder, filed in a list or trashed.
- **Next Actions, Waiting For and Projects:** An action is scheduled for a date, marked as a Next Action or marked Waiting For. Projects group multi-step outcomes and can suggest next actions from checkboxes in their notes.
- **Contexts:** Contexts work like tags for people, places or kinds of work. Actions and captures can carry several, and agendas filter items down to a chosen set of contexts.
- **Calendar with to-dos and events:** To-dos and calendar events share List, Day, 3-Day, 5-Day, Week and Month views, and items are rescheduled by drag and drop. Planning Mode shows the calendar beside lists.
- **Time Blocks and Routines:** A time block is an action attached to one or more parent actions that counts as done once the allotted time is spent. Routines are daily templates for recurring schedules.
- **Quick Add, widgets and Shortcuts:** Quick Add recognizes natural language, interactive widgets run on the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy, and Apple Shortcuts actions can add, edit and query items and attachments.
