What Aftertone is
Aftertone is a macOS productivity app built around time blocking for planning work, focusing on tasks, and reviewing weekly patterns. Users can paste text or take a screenshot, while pressing Command twice captures content from anywhere on a Mac; the app turns that input into structured tasks. It automatically schedules the day, organizes tasks according to working habits, classifies projects and tags, and offers Kanban planning with Markdown notes. A focus screen presents one task at a time and updates the calendar during work. Recurring tasks, focus sessions, and two-way real-time Google Calendar sync are supported. Weekly reports show flow sessions, peak day, and a work-activity timeline. Its AI extracts tasks, assigns projects, and adjusts suggestions using planning history and corrections. The Aftertone plan costs $20 a month, billed monthly, with unlimited tasks, events, and slots plus automatic planning, capture, classification, calendar synchronization, and daily and weekly insight reports. iOS and Android are described as coming.
