⭐ Intelligence plan — Auto Task Capture is only available on the Intelligence plan. If you are on Essentials, you can upgrade at any time in Settings, Billing.

Auto Task Capture reads a block of text — meeting notes, a long email, a project brief — and extracts structured tasks from it automatically. Instead of creating tasks one by one, you paste the text and Aftertone generates a list of action items ready to review and add to your inbox.

How to use it

1. Copy the text you want to extract tasks from.

2. Open Quick Capture with Option Space and press Command G, or click the Auto Capture button in the planning view.

3. Paste the text into the capture panel and click Extract.

4. Aftertone shows you a list of suggested tasks. Review them, edit any titles that need adjusting, and click Add to Inbox.

What it extracts

Aftertone looks for action items, commitments, and deliverables in the text. It ignores context and background that is not actionable. Each suggested task gets a title and, where the text makes it clear, a suggested project and due date. If you are on the Intelligence plan, Auto Project Tagging handles the project assignment automatically.

Using a screenshot instead of pasted text

You can take a screenshot of text on your screen and use that as the input. This works well for extracting tasks from content you cannot easily copy, such as a PDF or a screen share.
