The fastest way to stay focused is to get a thought out of your head and into Sonto without stopping what you’re doing. Anything you capture this way lands in your inbox (unless you choose otherwise), ready to be sorted during planning.

​
On Mac

  • Global hotkeys — set up two custom hotkeys that work even when Sonto is in the background: one to add a task to your inbox, another to add to today. Configure them in Settings → Tasks. See Keyboard shortcuts.
  • Spotlight — type add to sonto in Spotlight to capture a task without bringing Sonto to the front. See Siri & Spotlight.
  • Share extension — send text or links to Sonto from any app’s Share menu. See Share extension.

​
On iPhone

  • Siri — say “Add task to Sonto”, then name the task and where it should go (inbox, today, tomorrow, this week, or next week). See Siri & Spotlight.
  • Share extension — tap the Share icon in any app and choose Sonto. See Share extension.
Quick capture saves your text as a plain task name. Once it’s in Sonto, open the task and use natural language input to schedule it, block time, file it, and tag it — just by typing.

​
