What is ActionList and how does it help productivity?

ActionList is an all-in-one productivity app that combines task management, habit tracking, a focus timer (Pomodoro technique), and calendar integration in one interface. It helps you organize your work, build habits, and stay focused without switching between multiple apps.

Is ActionList free to use?

Yes. ActionList has a free plan with tasks, habits, focus timer, reminders, and 5 AI assistant messages per day. Free-plan limits may evolve as demand and costs change. No credit card required to get started.

Does ActionList work on mobile devices (iOS & Android)?

ActionList works great on web browsers and we're currently developing native mobile apps for iOS and Android. You can already use ActionList on your mobile browser with full functionality while we perfect the native app experience.

Can ActionList integrate with Google Calendar?

Google Calendar sync is on the roadmap and will let you view calendar events alongside your tasks and habits in one unified timeline.

How does the focus timer work?

Our focus timer uses the Pomodoro Technique—work in 25-minute focused intervals with 5-minute breaks. Track your productivity, view session history, and see detailed analytics on your most productive hours. Perfect for deep work and avoiding burnout.

How does ActionList compare to Todoist, Notion, or TickTick?

ActionList combines task management, habit tracking, and a focus timer into one app so you are not juggling multiple tools. It is a newer app, so features are still being added — the tradeoff is a more focused experience with an AI assistant built in.

Today's tasks, events, and streaks — triaged into one calm view before your first coffee.
9:12 AMStep 2
Capture in three seconds, not three taps
“Buy milk tomorrow 3pm” just works — dates, times, and priority parsed as you type.
1:45 PMStep 3
Ask, and your afternoon plans itself
The assistant reads your real tasks and meetings, then builds the day around them — and tells you why.
9:30 PMStep 4
Wind down, streaks intact
A quick evening glance in dark mode: done list full, habits logged, tomorrow already sketched.

AI Assistant

Plan your day in plain English.

The AI Assistant reads your calendar, your habits, and your energy — then turns a single sentence into tasks, events, reminders, and focus sessions. No forms, no fields, no friction.

Natural language: "Block 90 min for writing tomorrow morning."
Aware of context: Knows your schedule, busy hours, and habit streaks.
Multi-step actions: Creates, schedules, reschedules, and links in one go.
Privacy-respecting: Your data stays yours; prompts aren't trained on.
