## What are To-dos?

Toki To-dos is a feature that holds on to things you want to do but haven’t decided when yet. It keeps reminding you until you’re ready to put them on the calendar.

Not all things need to get scheduled right away. Some things are important but can’t be given that much attention just yet: a call, a side errand, something you want to do “soon” but haven’t pinned down.

That’s when To-dos come in. Tell Toki about it and get reminded at the right time so it does not slip your mind.

## How To-dos work

1. **Tell Toki what you need to do** No need for any fixed date. Just tell Toki what it is.

*"Remind me to check in with my mom sometime next week"*

*"I need to get my car serviced at some point"*

*"Don't let me forget to send that invoice"*

2. **Toki holds onto the thought and continuously reminds you.** Toki won’t let it get lost on a notepad; it continuously reminds you of it and keeps it within orbit until you make a move.

3. **Once you're ready, turn it into an event.** Once you’ve figured out when you want to do it, tell it to Toki, and it turns into a real calendar event.

## What to use To-dos for

### Things without a deadline

Catching up with a friend, redoing your room, or starting something on the side. The stuff you want to do but never get a chance to finish. To-dos help keep them alive.

### Tasks you keep procrastinating

The doctor's appointment, oil changes, and the email you've been meaning to send. Sometimes you need someone to keep bringing it up until you actually make a move.

### Ideas you don't want to lose

A restaurant you’ve always wanted to try. A book someone recommended. A pair of shoes you want to buy. Drop it in as a To-do so you don't forget.

### Things that depend on someone else

Waiting for a confirmation or following up with someone? Toki can hold on to it so you don’t forget.

## Real moments this saves you

- You think of something important mid-conversation and don't want to lose it. To-do it in two seconds, deal with it later.
- Your to-do list is full of things with no time attached. To-dos hold them without filling up your calendar.
- You keep forgetting the same thing over and over. Toki keeps reminding you until it actually gets done.
- You're waiting for the right moment to do something. To-dos keep it warm until the time comes.

## FAQs

<details>
<summary><h3>What are To-dos in Toki?</h3></summary>

To-dos are for tasks that don't have a time yet. You tell Toki what you need to do, and it keeps nudging you until you’re ready to put it on the calendar.

</details>

<details>
<summary><h3>How is a To-do different from a regular reminder?</h3></summary>

A regular reminder comes to you once and disappears forever. To-dos don’t have a set time, it replays repeatedly until you’ve scheduled it.

</details>

<details>
<summary><h3>How do I create a To-do in Toki?</h3></summary>

Just tell Toki what you need to do, no date or time needed. For example: "remind me to call my mom sometime next week." Toki holds it and starts reminding you from there.

</details>

<details>
<summary><h3>How does a To-do get marked as done?</h3></summary>

When it turns into an actual calendar event. That’s the moment you’ve committed to doing it, so Toki moves it off the To-dos list.

</details>

<details>
<summary><h3>Can I use To-dos for ideas?</h3></summary>

Yes. A restaurant someone mentioned or a book you’ve been wanting to read. Anything you don’t want to lose, drop it as a To-do.

</details>

<details>
<summary><h3>How is Toki's To-dos different from a to-do list app?</h3></summary>

Normally, a to-do app only stores information, while Toki's To-dos follows up on information. It keeps reminding you about the task until a date and time are attached to it, while to-do apps require constant checking.
