Set up the capture paths once, and you’ll never lose a thought to “I’ll remember it later”. Everything you capture lands in your inbox, ready to sort during planning.

​
On Mac

1

Set up two global hotkeys

Open Settings → Tasks and assign two custom hotkeys — one to add a task to your inbox, one to add to today. They work even when Sonto is in the background. See Keyboard shortcuts.
2

Try capturing with Spotlight

Open Spotlight, type add to sonto, press Enter, then type your task. It never brings Sonto to the front. See Siri & Spotlight.
3

Enable the Share extension

In System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Sharing, switch Sonto on. Now you can send text or links to Sonto from any app’s Share menu. See Share extension.

​
On iPhone

1

Capture with Siri

Say “Add task to Sonto”, then tell Siri the name and where it should go — inbox, today, tomorrow, this week, or next week.
2

Share from any app

Tap the Share icon in any app and choose Sonto. The Share extension is always on — no setup needed. See Share extension.
You can add a task to Sonto without opening it — by hotkey, voice, or Share — and find it in your inbox afterwards.
