01 · Talk to Vanta

Capture in one press.

Set your Action Button to Vanta, or say “Talk to Vanta” to Siri, then just talk. On-device AI cleans up your words and lands them straight in your Inbox, without ever opening the app.

02 · Vault

Your notes, organized

Browse and edit your Markdown vault, with folders, favorites, and full-text search. Your Inbox and Next Actions stay pinned at the top: a GTD dashboard, always one tap away.

03 · On-device AI

AI that runs on your phone

Ramble a note and watch it become clean Markdown. Clean up dictation, summarize, suggest tags, and find next actions, all on-device. Nothing's uploaded, and it works offline.

04 · Markdown

Beautiful Markdown

Syntax-highlighted code, callouts, tags, tables, images, SVG, wikilinks, and backlinks, all the same as you'd see in Obsidian.

05 · Inbox zero

Inbox to zero — with AI

Capture a thought in a tap, by typing or dictating. Then tap Clarify with AI and it sorts your whole inbox into Next Actions, Waiting For, Someday, Done, or Trash. You just confirm, or clarify each item yourself.

The weekly GTD review
06 · Weekly review

A weekly review that flows

See which projects need a next action, what you're waiting on, and what you finished this week. GTD, built in, with a dated logbook.

07 · Privacy

Private by design

Start with a local vault: no account, no servers. Sync with iCloud or your own private GitHub whenever you want. No subscription, no lock-in.

Capture → Done

The whole GTD workflow, built in

Vanta implements all five steps of Getting Things Done, natively, from capture to done.

1

Capture

Get it out of your head. The Action Button, Siri, a tap, or the share sheet drops anything into your Inbox.

2

Clarify

Process your inbox to zero by hand, or let on-device AI sort each item for you.

3

Organize

Everything lands where it belongs: Next Actions by @context, Waiting For, Someday, and Projects.

4

Reflect

A Weekly Review surfaces stalled projects and what you're waiting on, so nothing slips.

5

Engage

Just do the work. Your Next Actions stay pinned at the top, ready when you are.

It's just files.

This is what Vanta actually stores: a folder of plain Markdown, on your device and in your own private GitHub if you connect it. Open it in Obsidian, grep it in a terminal, read it in twenty years. Favorites even sync with Obsidian's native bookmarks.
