Prodify

A quick tour

Prodify is one app with fifteen sections. Here's how to get around and make it yours.

Home

Home is the page Prodify opens on. It greets you by the time of day and shows cards for what matters now:

  • Tasks due today and events coming up
  • Habits to check off
  • How are you feeling?: a quick mood check-in, with an optional note that becomes a journal entry
  • Today’s question: a reflection prompt; your answer is saved in Journal → Questions
  • Focus session: pick up to three tasks and start a timer
  • Clock and weather for your city
  • In progress: what you’re reading, watching or playing, or a suggestion from your “Want to” list
  • Sounds: ambient sounds and radio from the Music section

Lay the cards out in Columns or as a Board, choose how many columns you want, and turn cards on or off in Settings → Sections and Home.

Moving between sections

On a computer the sections sit in a sidebar. Choose its look in Settings → Appearance:

  • Sidebar: a classic list
  • Cards: colored tiles with counts
  • Icon grid and Icons: compact icon-only versions
  • Top bar: sections across the top

Drag sections to reorder them, and drag the sidebar’s edge to resize it. Press Ctrl B to auto-hide the sidebar: it slides in when you move the pointer to the left edge of the window.

On a phone, a tab bar at the bottom shows Home plus three sections you pick. More opens every other section, and Edit tab bar changes the three.

Search and commands

Press Ctrl K anywhere, or use the search box on Home, to search everything: notes, tasks, journal entries, projects, collections and settings. On Home, type / to run a command instead, such as adding a task for tomorrow. Prodify shows what the command will do before you press Enter, and you can change the command words in Settings.

Quick capture

The round + button in the corner saves something from any page: a task, note, event, link or journal line. Auto guesses which one you mean, and task text is read the same way as in Tasks, so “Pay rent friday” gets a due date.

Notifications

Reminders appear as system notifications while Prodify is open, and every notification is also kept in the bell panel at the top of each page.

Making it yours

Settings → Appearance has light, dark and OLED themes, accent colors, fonts, page width and the navigation layouts. Settings → General sets your name, language, time format, first day of the week and the city for the weather. Use the search box at the top of Settings to find any option.
