Sonto includes a share extension that allows you to share to Sonto from other apps on Mac and iOS.

What you can share

Whatever you share becomes a new task in your Inbox. Before it’s saved you can edit its name and notes.
  • Text — becomes the task’s name; longer text is shortened for the name and kept in full in the notes.
  • A link — the task is named after the page’s title, and the link goes in its notes. If the app you share from sends only the address, Sonto looks up the title; until it has it, the site’s name shows.
  • Images and files — up to 10 at once. They become one task with every file attached, named after the shared title or text, or else after the first file. Each file can be up to 10 MB; folders and larger files are left out, and Sonto tells you which.

Sharing to Sonto on iOS

On iOS things are a little easier since we don’t need to enable the extension; it is always on. Just open an app that supports sharing, tap the share icon, and find Sonto in the list of apps. When Sonto is not shown immediately, tap More and look for Sonto in the resulting list.
