It's just text
Bullet a line and it's a task. Double-click to tick it off, or drag it under a day to plan it. There's nothing to learn.
Busy is a notebook for your day. Write your tasks as a plain list, and it quietly handles the times, the repeats, the notes and the reminders, so you don't have to.

Built for real weeks
Plan today, look back on last week, glance at what's coming. Completed tasks, notes, sub-tasks and times all live together as plain text, however busy your week gets. Tag a number like #weight 70kg or #distance 5km and Busy charts it over time, next to everything you got done.
Everything is just a line of text
No projects to create and no fields to fill in. You type the way you'd scribble on paper, and the structure appears as you go.

Add @3pm or @9:30 and the task is scheduled. It shows a clock, turns amber once the time has gone, and flags anything overdue.
Write @@ every weekday at 9am - standup once. Busy files the rule away and drops the task onto the right days for you.
Type !note on a task and you get a full markdown editor for checklists, links and code with highlighting. It stays tucked inside the task, and opens when you need it.
Start a timer on whatever you're working on. Jot numbers like #weight 70kg and Busy charts them over time, alongside what you got done.
Your notebook follows you across every tab and device, and updates live as you type. It keeps working offline and nudges you about overdue tasks.
In your pocket
