Ango Tasks
Feature Guides

From your first list to your next big plan. A few simple ways to get more from Ango Tasks.

Create Your First List & Task

Download Ango Tasks on iPhone or open the web app. Sign in with the same account on each device to keep your tasks together.

  1. Create a list. Use + List on iPhone, or the new list control in the web sidebar. Give it a name you’ll recognize.
  2. Add your first task. Use New task, or type directly into a list on the web.
  3. Set a due date or priority. Add a due date or mark an important task as a priority.
  4. Return to Today. See tasks due today across your lists.

Start small: a personal list, a work list, and one list for something you’re looking forward to.

Organize Lists & Folders

Lists and folders on iPhone

Lists hold your tasks. Folders bring related lists together. Keep a project, a trip, or a household organized without mixing everything into one long checklist.

Today, Priority & Overdue Smart Lists

Today gathers tasks due today. Priority brings important tasks together. Overdue helps you revisit what needs a new plan.

Subtasks, Notes & Attachments

Open a task to add subtasks, notes, attachments, voice notes, dates, and reminders. Search and tags help you find it again.

Natural Language Task Entry

Natural language input helps turn a thought into a dated task. Try adding “Call the dentist tomorrow” or “Water the plants every Sunday.” Review the detected date and recurrence before saving.

For a more specific schedule, open task details and set the due date, time, reminder, or repeat options directly.

Create Lists from Photos, Voice, Text & AI Chat

Smart Extract review screen with detected tasks and Create new list

1. Create a List from a Photo

Open Smart Extract and choose the photo input. Take a photo or select an image of a handwritten list, whiteboard, or document. Extract the tasks, review the suggestions, and create a new list or add them to an existing one.

2. Create a List with Your Voice

Choose audio in Smart Extract and speak your tasks naturally. Review the tasks extracted from your recording, edit them if needed, and save them together in a list.

3. Create a List from Pasted Text

Choose text in Smart Extract, then paste an email, meeting notes, or a long paragraph. Ango finds the tasks so you can review and save them without retyping each one.

4. Create a List through AI Chat

Open Ask AI and describe the list you need, such as “Make a packing list for a weekend away.” Review the suggested tasks and save them to a new or existing list. You can also ask AI to find tasks, reschedule work, or help plan your day.

Free includes 20 AI requests per day. Premium includes 200. Ask AI, Smart Extract, and AI subtask generation share that daily allowance.

Calendar Views & Google Calendar Sync

Open Calendar and choose Day, Week, or Month. Add dates and times to tasks to see how they fit into your schedule.

Google Calendar sync requires Premium. In the iPhone app, open Settings → Google Calendar Sync and follow the sign-in flow. Select the calendars you want to sync. Once connected on iPhone, you can manage calendars and sync settings in the web app. The built-in day, week, and month views are included in Free.

iPhone Duo Split View

On the open display, Ango Tasks can show lists and tasks side by side. Open a task to keep its details beside the list. The layout responds to the display size, orientation, and fold position.

Use the Duo action bar for search, Ask AI, voice capture, or a new task. Fold the phone to return to a focused view without losing your place.

Focus Mode: Full-Screen Checklists

Full-screen Focus mode checklist in the iOS app

Focus mode is available in the iOS app. Open a list’s menu and choose Focus Mode, then work through the tasks in that list.

Work through the checklist, see your completion progress, and return to the main app when you’re ready.

Location-Based Reminders

In the iOS app, add a saved place and connect it to a list through the list’s location reminder options. Choose the place and enable the reminder.

When you arrive, Ango Tasks can remind you about the list’s unfinished tasks. Location reminders require the appropriate device permissions.

A groceries list tied to your usual store is a useful place to start.

Share Lists & Manage Permissions

Use a list’s sharing options to invite someone or share a supported invitation link. The other person signs in to Ango Tasks to accept and access the list.

Choose the available access level that fits how you want to collaborate. Review members and permissions in the sharing settings.

Connect to ChatGPT & Claude

AI assistant connections in Ango Tasks

With Premium, open Connect to AI in Settings. Follow the connection instructions for a supported assistant, including Claude or ChatGPT.

Review the permissions when connecting. You can view and disconnect connected assistants from Settings.

Widgets, Siri & Shortcuts

On iPhone, add Ango Tasks widgets to your home screen for a glance at your day. Siri and Shortcuts offer other ways to capture and work with tasks.

You can also import from Apple Reminders through the iOS app’s settings. Review the import options before bringing your lists across.
