The first ten minutes

Hobba works without any setup. Three things make the difference — and one gesture you would never guess.

Everything lands in the Inbox first

No project to pick, no date, no thinking. Type it and move on, sort it later. A task you have to think about while writing it down is a task you don't write down.

“Today” is a decision

It holds what you intend to do today — not everything that happens to be due. Whatever you keep for later gets Evening and moves into a pane of its own. When there is too much in it, Hobba asks once a day, quietly.

The plus is dragged

The one thing nobody guesses. Tapping adds a task at the end. Hold and drag adds it where you let go.

Four gestures, that's all

On rows, Hobba swipes in one place only, and there the swipe just reveals a button. There are no hidden actions at the edges of a row that you only discover by triggering them by accident.

• The circle on the left completes a task; tapping the row opens it.
• Press and drag to reorder. Swipe a project row in the overview to the left and it shows its •••, which opens its menu.
• Drag onto the bin to delete — see above.
• Pull down from the top to open search. There is no magnifying glass on purpose.

Finally: turn on iCloud

Settings → iCloud → Sync. After that your tasks are on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch — in your iCloud, not on a server of ours.

If after a few days you notice you are opening Hobba more often than necessary, carry on with Using Hobba without opening it.
