In Amplenote, tasks live inside notes. One of the biggest upside is that your to-do lists can live within the context that created them. Compare to task apps, an Amplenote "note" is like a "project" in Todoist.

link ⚡ The fastest ways to capture new tasks on mobile or iPad

We have built a separate help page dedicated to listing the multitude of ways to rapidly capture a new idea across platforms. This page focuses on the fastest ways to capture tasks from mobile platforms – phone and iPad/tablet.

Whenever you open the mobile app, there will be a "➕" icon in the lower-right corner:

open_in_new

Ubiquitous one-tap task capture

Once you tap it and start entering text, Amplenote gives five initial guesses on which note the task might belong in. Tap the "Guess note" button in the bottom row if the default guesses don't include the note you had in mind (requires Agent Pro):

Quick capture on mobile, featuring "Guess note" to auto-file tasks

There are a couple other useful affordances baked into this form.

link Task options: repeat, duration, important

Tap the "More options" button in the lower-right corner if you have specific ideas about how this task should be scheduled or cataloged:

open_in_new

We recommend setting up flexible recurrence with "weekday" or "weekend" repeat

This diagram features the process of setting up a "flexible recurring" task, but you can see the "Task Options" also include "mark urgent/important," "set duration," and "set fixed recurring."

link Include an image or video

Any task you add can include an image or video to help jog your memory about the details of what you were seeing when you added the task. When you upload an image or video, it will be included in the task text as a Rich Footnote.

link 🧭 Mobile home screen & interactive widgets

Along with the ubiquitous Quick Capture from within the Amplenote app, we also offer the option to choose from our gallery of widgets. Included in most of the widgets is a button to add a new task:

open_in_new

The "Quick Actions" widget (iOS and Android).
The "Add a task" button lets you jump to the task creation screen with a single tap.

Also on mobile, anytime the app is open and regardless of the view you are in, you can use the quick task bar at the bottom to create a new task:

Finally, as a bonus feature for iOS users only, you can start adding tasks even before unlocking your phone by using the lock screen widget:

open_in_new

All of the methods presented above default to the current daily jot for the task's destination, so you don't need to spend extra time manually selecting your inbox.
