Kenotex: AI Task Planner
Turn thoughts into tasks
Free · In-App Purchases
Meet the redesigned Ideas: pin favorite drafts, switch quickly, search your text, and organize with #category suggestions. Turn inspiration into action.
Turn ideas into action—without sorting everything by hand.
Type or speak naturally in Ideas. Kenotex uses AI to turn each thought straight into a task, calendar event, or check-in habit — created as soon as it parses, with no second confirmation step. The result card sits under your original text, so you can adjust the details, tick it off, or discard the whole thing. Focus, Timeline, Calendar, and Check-in then help you follow through.
CAPTURE NATURALLY
• Write or speak in plain language
• Add several thoughts as separate blocks
• Get structured results immediately, then adjust or discard
• Use manual or automatic parsing
FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS
• See urgent and upcoming tasks in Focus
• Organize projects and categories with Shelves
• Add priorities, start dates, deadlines, reminders, and recurrence
• Postpone or skip tasks without losing the bigger plan
• Review completion history
PUT TASKS AND EVENTS ON ONE TIMELINE
See todos and calendar events together. Use Calendar and Agenda to understand today and the days ahead, with holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and lunar calendar details when available.
BUILD ROUTINES THAT STICK
Create check-in habits with flexible schedules, multiple check-ins per day, reminders, streaks, and progress statistics.
LOCAL-FIRST, WITH OPTIONAL ICLOUD SYNC
Your organizer data is stored locally by default. Enable iCloud to sync tasks, events, Ideas, check-ins, and settings across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
MADE FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM
Keep moving with iOS widgets, Live Activities, voice input, and Shortcuts. On Mac, use keyboard shortcuts plus Raycast, local API, and MCP integrations.
KENOTEX PRO
The free version includes a daily AI parsing allowance. Kenotex Pro unlocks unlimited AI parsing, Spark idea breakdown, the Paper and Graphite themes, and Focus timeline styles.
Kenotex is for people who want to capture what they just thought of, turn it into a clear next action, and follow through without juggling separate apps.
