Getting Started
Getting started with Do Everything
A quick introduction to Do Everything — what it does, how it's organised, and how to get up and running on your phone or in your browser.
What is Do Everything?
Do Everything is a productivity app that brings your tasks, lists, notes, and daily journal together. Whether you are planning your day, capturing ideas, or reflecting on how things went, everything lives in one place. Use the mobile app on iOS and Android, or the web app in your browser — the same account works in both.
Core features
- Tasks — Create tasks with due dates, reminders, recurring schedules, subtasks, and tags. Browse, sort, and group them however you like.
- Lists — Organise tasks and notes into lists with sections. Share lists with others to collaborate in real time.
- Planning — Plan your day by choosing which tasks to focus on, assign them to time slots, and highlight your most important task.
- Notes — Capture ideas with Markdown formatting and images, and add a location with PRO. Browse your notes in a visual grid.
- Journal — Reflect on your day with a guided four-step flow: review your tasks, log how you feel, practise gratitude, and write a journal entry. The journal is only in the mobile app for now.
- Tags — Tag tasks, notes, and journal entries to organise and filter across features.
Setting up the app
On mobile
- Download Do Everything from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Open the app and follow the onboarding screens.
- Create an account to back up your data and sync across devices, or tap Create account later to explore first.
We recommend creating an account straight away. Without one, your data is tied to this device, and you won't be able to get it back if you switch phones or lose it.
On the web
There's nothing to install. Go to my.doeverything.app in your browser and log in, or create an account with Continue with Google or Continue with Apple — see Create your account. The web app always needs an account, and there are no setup screens: you go straight to Today.
Finding your way around
Do Everything is organised around Today, Tasks, Notes and Lists, and you can move between them, or create something new, from anywhere in the app.
On mobile
The tabs at the bottom of the screen take you to each of them, and to Journal. On every tab but Journal, the + button creates something new: a task, a note or a list, depending on the tab. For a tour of every tab, see Find your way around the mobile app.
On the web
The sidebar on the left takes you to each of them, and its Create button starts a new task, note or list from any page. The sidebar also lists Journal, which is coming soon to the web app. For more on the sidebar, panels and Settings, see Find your way around the web app.
What to do next
- Create your first task — Open Tasks and select New task to get started.
- Set up a list — Open Lists to create your first list and add tasks or notes to it.
- Plan your day — Open Today and select Plan your day to schedule tasks into time slots. From 6:00 PM, on a day that already has tasks, the button just reads Plan.
- Write a reflection — At the end of the day, open Today in the mobile app and select Reflect on your day. Your reflections then appear in Journal.
- Learn the shortcuts — In the web app, press ? to see the keyboard shortcuts you can use. For the full list, see Use keyboard shortcuts and the command palette.
- Connect your AI assistant — Link Claude or ChatGPT to Do Everything so you can ask what is on your plate today and, with PRO, capture tasks by chatting.
