Sorted. User Guide

List it. Sort it. Do it.

Sorted turns your scattered tasks — from your own notes or from long AI conversations — into a clear, prioritized plan. This guide walks you through everything it does.

Open the app →

1. The two ways to add tasks

At the top of the page you'll see two tabs: AI chat and Quick list.

Capture from AI chat

Use this when you've had a conversation with an AI assistant and want to pull the action items out of it.

  1. Click the AI chat tab.
  2. Give the conversation a short label (for example, "Planning chat — Oct 24"). You can change this later.
  3. Paste the entire conversation into the large text box. It can be any length — Sorted reads long chats one part at a time, so nothing gets cut off.
  4. Press Find tasks.
  5. Sorted shows a checklist of every task it found, each with a suggested priority and time estimate, plus a short quote from the conversation showing where it came from.
  6. Uncheck any tasks you don't want.
  7. Press the add button — the checked tasks land on your board.

Your pasted conversation itself is never saved — only the tasks, their priorities, and the label you gave them.

Quick list

  1. Click the Quick list tab.
  2. Type or paste your tasks, one per line — as messy as you like.
  3. Press AI Triage. Sorted sorts each task by priority and estimates how long it will take.

2. Priorities

Every task gets one of four priorities, shown as colored dots:

  • Do now — urgent and important
  • Schedule — important, but not urgent
  • Delegate — urgent, but someone else could do it
  • Drop — neither urgent nor important

The four boxes near the top show how many tasks you have in each group and the total time they'll take.

3. The board

Your tasks live on a board with three columns: To Do, Doing, and Done.

  • Drag a task card from one column to another as you work on it.
  • Each card shows the task, its priority, and its time estimate.
  • If the task came from an AI chat, the card shows the conversation label. Click the pencil next to it to rename that label — it updates on every task from that conversation.
  • Click "From the conversation" on a card to see the exact words the task came from.
  • Click the X on a card to delete it.
  • Clear done removes all finished tasks at once. Daily tasks are kept.
  • Daily tasks: tap Make daily on any card for things you do every day, like taking medicine or checking email. Drag it to Done when finished. The next day, when you open Sorted, it moves back to To Do by itself. The card shows how many days you've done it and your current streak.

The top-right corner shows how many tasks are open and the total time remaining.

4. The focus timer

On the right side of the page is a focus timer with three presets:

  • 25 minutes — a classic focus session
  • 50 minutes — a longer deep-work session
  • 5 minutes — a short break

Pick a task, start the timer, and work until it rings.

5. Good to know

  • Your board saves automatically in your browser. It will be there when you come back — as long as you use the same browser on the same device and don't clear your browser data.
  • There is no account or login. Your tasks stay on your device.
  • Text is large and bright by design, for easy reading.
