Every task app has the same problem.

You have an idea. You unlock your phone, find the app, wait for it to load, tap "+", type, save. By the time you're done, the thought is half-formed — or gone.

SnapTask solves this by living where you already are — your notification bar.

Frequently asked questions

How does notification-bar task capture work on Android?

SnapTask uses Android's foreground service API to keep a persistent notification with an input field (RemoteInput) visible at all times. You type directly into the notification — no app launch — and it's saved to a local Room database. The notification is the app's primary UI.

Is SnapTask free?

Yes. Core capture, task list, tags, and basic reminders are 100% free forever. SnapTask Pro ($2/month) unlocks advanced reminders, custom badges, and priority feature requests.

Will the persistent notification drain my battery?

No. The notification doesn't poll, sync, or run network calls in the background. It's a passive UI element. Real-world battery impact is under 1% per day on a typical phone.

Which languages does the date parser support?

17 languages: English, French, Spanish, Arabic, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Hindi, and Indonesian. Type "tomorrow at 9", "demain 9h", "mañana a las 9" — they all work.

Does SnapTask sync to other devices?

Not currently. SnapTask is intentionally offline-first — no account, no cloud, no tracking. Backup/restore via local file export is supported. Optional encrypted sync is on the roadmap for SnapTask Pro.

How is SnapTask different from Google Keep or Todoist?

Google Keep and Todoist require you to open the app every time. SnapTask's notification-bar capture is 4–6× faster for the most common use case: jotting a quick task. SnapTask focuses exclusively on capture speed; it's not trying to replace your full project manager.

Where can I download SnapTask?
