The Five Kinds of Things Tasks, reminders, events, habits, and notes. Where each lives, how each behaves, and when to use which.
Adding Tasks & Entries Quick entry, the Plus sheet, task notes, natural language times, and voice capture.
Subtasks Break any task into steps. Chain them with the Return key, reorder, check off, and track progress at a glance.
Timeline & Time Blocking See your day as time blocks on an hourly grid: compressed free time, drag to reschedule, a parking lot for loose tasks, and AI plans penciled right onto the grid.
Calendar & Reminders Seeing all your calendars in Finalist, managing Apple Reminders, and planning ahead on the grid.
The Planner Zoom out from a single day to a week, a month, or the whole year: drag tasks across dates and paint runs of days with color highlights.
Calendar Bookmarks Colored tabs on your Daily view to toggle calendars with a tap, focus on one, or flip to Solo mode.
World Clock Cities on your Daily view with live times and weather. Retune your whole day to another timezone, and schedule tasks in any city's local time.
The Task Editor The full editing sheet, field by field. Dates and durations, repeats, alerts, locations, priorities, tags, and lists.
Tags Finalist's highlighters: color-code tasks, habits, and notes, focus the day on one color, and open any tag's timeline.
