    Start here

    Plan your first week in five minutes.

    Sonaa Week shows your next days side by side. Every task belongs to a day – not to a slot in a calendar grid – so planning is just writing things down where they belong.

    Your first week

    1. Add a task. Type under a day. That's it – the task is saved right away, even offline.
    2. Give it a time, if it needs one. Start the title with a time, like 9:00 Call Anna or 2h Write report. See Timed tasks.
    3. Move it around. Drag a task to another day, or up and down to change the order.
    4. Open it for more. Click a task to add notes, subtasks or a color, or to make it repeat.
    5. Check it off. Click the circle in front of a task when it's done.

    Then, when you're ready

    • Split a busy day into parts with subheaders.
    • Park tasks without a day on a shelf.
    • Decide what happens to tasks you didn't finish.
    • Zoom out to the month and the year with ⌥ ↑ (Ctrl ↑ on Windows and Linux).

    Questions

    • Why did my task move to another day?

      Unfinished tasks can move forward on their own – here's how to change that.

    • Can I use Sonaa Week offline?

      Yes – everything is saved on your device first.

    • I forgot my password – what now?

      Basic accounts can reset it by email. Secure accounts can't – that's the point of Secure mode.

    • Does Sonaa Week sync with Google Calendar?

      Not live – you can import a calendar once, and import again later without duplicates.

    • Can you read my tasks?

      In Basic mode technically yes, in Secure mode no.

    • Is Sonaa Week free?

      Yes, during the early release.

    Planning

    • Timed tasks

      Give a task a time or a duration by typing it at the start of the title.

    • Recurring tasks

      Repeat a task, edit one occurrence or the whole series, and number titles automatically.

    • Subheaders

      Split a day into sections – work, uni, evening – with a title that starts with three dashes.

    • Shelves

      Keep tasks that don't belong to a day yet.

    • Unfinished tasks

      Let Sonaa move tasks you didn't finish, or leave them where they are.

    • Keyboard shortcuts

      Move through weeks and tasks without the mouse.

    Your data

    • Import from Google Calendar

      Turn the events of a Google Calendar export – or any .ics file – into tasks.

    • Export your tasks

      Download a copy of your tasks as JSON, XML or iCal.

    • Basic and Secure mode

      How your data is protected, and what the choice made at setup means.

    • Offline and sync

      Sonaa works without a connection and catches up when you're back online.
