How Neuralist works

When everything is in your head

Start without organizing first

You can type anything, a messy list, a half-formed idea, a full plan.

Neuralist turns it into Things, which can be:

• a task
• a reference document
• or a collection of related items

When your work starts to get complex

Turn one list into a structured system

Break things into nested layers with sub-items, reorder them, and group them into collections.

A single project can go from one item to a full hierarchy of tasks, documents, and related work

Everything stays connected, so you're not jumping between tools or losing context.

When something actually needs to get done

Build a plan inside the work itself

Take any item and generate or create a step-by-step plan.

Plans are not separate. They live directly inside the item:

• steps are tracked as plan steps
• progress is visible at the top
• each step can have its own status, effort level, and timing

You always know what's next without digging.

When you need to focus

Change how you see your work

Switch between views depending on what you need:

• a simple list for quick execution
• a timeline to see things over time
• a columns workspace to manage parallel tasks

You can also add anything to your Focus list, to easily access what matters right now.

When your work is tied to time

See everything on a real calendar

Your tasks and plan steps can have start dates, end dates, and times.

They show up in:

• day, week, month, and agenda calendar views
• a floating "today" panel you can open anytime

You can also sync them to Google Calendar so everything stays aligned.

When things repeat or evolve over time

Handle ongoing work without losing history

Set tasks to repeat and track each occurrence separately.

Neuralist keeps:

• completion history
• activity logs
• progress over time

So recurring work and long-term projects don't disappear or reset.

When you are working with other people

Share a workspace, not just a list

Invite others into a shared board where everything stays in sync.

You can:

• collaborate on the same items
• chat directly within items and keep conversations tied to the work
• see updates and activity as they happen
• work from a shared calendar

No version conflicts, no scattered communication. Conversations, tasks, and updates all stay connected.

When you need help figuring things out

Use Nova to take real actions

Nova is built directly into your workflow as both an assistant and a chat you can talk to anytime.

You can:

• ask questions about your work or get help thinking something through
• paste a messy idea and have it turned into structured items
• ask for a plan and get step-by-step breakdowns
• create tasks or plans directly from chat

On your dashboard, Nova also gives you a daily rundown of what's important based on your actual workspace.
