Welcome to ToToday. This guide will help you start using the core features in 5 minutes, so your first day brings real value instead of just setup.
Step 1: create your first task, 1 minute
After logging in, you will see the task list page. Click the "+" button in the lower-right corner, or type directly into the input field, to add your first task.
Make the task name as specific as possible. Not "prepare meeting," but "organize the meeting agenda and send it to attendees." The more specific it is, the less resistance you will feel when executing.
After adding the basic information, set a deadline for the task. This triggers due reminders and also lets the task appear automatically in Today Focus.
Step 2: set today's three frogs, 1 minute
In your task list, long-press any task and choose "Set as today's frog." Select the one to three most important things today. They will appear at the top of the list with a frog icon.
If you do not know which tasks to choose, ask AI All, introduced in the next step, and let it help identify the most important work for today.
Step 3: open AI All and describe your day, 2 minutes
Click the purple gradient "AI All" button at the top and speak directly:
"I have three tasks today: A, B, and C, plus a meeting this afternoon. I am not sure which one to do first. Please suggest an order."
AI All can help clarify priorities, suggest an execution order, and even break large tasks into smaller steps that can be generated directly into the task list.
For your first use of AI All, try the Efficiency Coach style: direct, outcome-oriented, and suitable for work scenarios. Later, you can switch styles based on your mood and needs.
Step 4: use Quick Notes to capture today's ideas, anytime
Whenever an idea or reminder appears during the workday, switch to the Quick Notes page and type it in. No need to organize, categorize, or judge it yet. Capture first.
Quick Notes and the task list are separate. Quick Notes hold things that may matter. The task list holds things you have already decided to do.
Step 5: choose a Buddy to stay with you, 1 minute
In settings, choose a Buddy you like. Every time you complete a task, it reacts and gives you a clear completion signal. Choose one you genuinely like, because liking it makes you more willing to complete tasks and "care for" it.

The key that makes ToToday truly useful
Every morning, spend 3 minutes opening ToToday and confirming today's three frogs. Every evening, spend 2 minutes organizing Quick Notes and promoting clear ideas into tasks.
Five minutes a day. Keep it for a week, and you will find yourself answering the question "what matters most today?" with increasing clarity.
Welcome to ToToday. I hope it becomes the tool that feels most natural in your daily work.
