Task it, share & voice capture
Three ways to catch something from another app without opening Tasks first. What you catch lands on the shuttle — the suite's shared list of things in transit between Zenith apps — or straight in your sky.
Task it
Select words in any app, and pick "task it".
- Select text.
- In the menu that pops up, tap "task it". Sometimes it sits under ⋮.
Nothing opens. Tasks takes the words you selected, puts them on the shuttle in full, shows "added to the shuttle", and gets out of the way. If nothing was selected, nothing happens.
Later, on the shuttle, "make it a star" turns it into a star: the first line is the title and the rest the note. A date or repeat in the words is set, as quick add reads it.
Share into Tasks
Share text or pictures from any app to "Zenith Tasks", and a card asks what to do with it. The card says "share to zenith tasks", with up to 3 lines of what you shared, or "1 image" / "2 images". A tap outside it closes it, and nothing is kept.
Text gives you:
| choice | what it does |
|---|---|
| "add as a node with stars inside" — "each line becomes a star" | only with 2 or more lines. The first line becomes the node, each other line a star inside it. You see "added a node with 3 stars inside" |
| "add as a task" — "file it straight into your sky" | the first line is the title, up to 80 letters, the rest is the note, and it goes at the top of the sky. You see "added to your sky". Dates in the text aren't read here |
| "ask the sky about it ✦" — "let the AI structure or answer it" | only while "zenith ai in this app" is on. Tasks opens, ask the sky opens, and your words are sent |
| "save to the shuttle" — "file it into your sky later, or send it to another zenith app" | you see "saved to the shuttle" |
Both "add" choices also put a copy on the shuttle.
Pictures give one choice: "new task with this image", or "new task per image" — "the picture becomes the node's symbol" (Gold). With Gold, each picture becomes a node "shared image" at the top of the sky, and you see "added 1 image node". Without it, nothing is made and Tasks opens on the Gold offer.
A Tasks file — a sky, a node or a backup — shared to Tasks opens it instead. See Save, open & back up.
Voice capture
Say everything on your mind in one go. Tasks splits it into separate things on the shuttle.
- Long-press the Tasks icon and pick "voice capture".
- Android's own speech screen opens, with "Dump your tasks…". Speak.
What you said is cut into pieces at sentence ends (. ! ? ;), at new lines, and at the words "and then" and "and also". Other words stay put, so "call mum next week" stays one piece.
Each piece goes on the shuttle, and you see "added 3 to the shuttle". Pieces of one letter are dropped. If the phone has no speech input, you see "no voice input available".
