How Neuralist works

When you need to keep track of something

Give everything a place

Neuralist starts with Things, a flexible way to keep track of whatever matters to you.

A Thing can stay simple, or grow as you add smaller pieces, notes, references, and other details.

Everything stays connected, so you can add as much structure as you need without losing track of how it all fits together.

When you need to know what matters

Start with a clear picture

Open Neuralist and immediately get oriented without digging through everything you've been keeping track of.

Your Home page brings together:

• what needs your attention
• what’s already moving
• what’s coming up
• what matters today

See where things stand, then get on with your day.

When everything is in your head

Start without organizing first

You can start with anything, a messy list, a half-formed idea, or something you haven't figured out yet.

Tell Nova what's on your mind and let Neuralist help give it structure.

• turn loose thoughts into Things you can come back to
• organize related ideas together
• create a plan when there's something you want to make happen

When something actually needs to get done

Get a plan you can follow

Turn any Thing into a clear plan, or have Nova create the plan for you.

Plans stay connected to whatever they're helping you accomplish:

• each step is easy to track
• progress stays visible
• steps can have their own status, effort, and timing

You always know what's next without having to figure it all out first.

When you need help figuring things out

Talk it through or let Nova handle it

Nova is there when you want an answer, another perspective, or some of the work taken off your hands.

You can:

• ask questions, explore ideas, or think through a problem
• find current information and research something further
• ask about anything you're keeping in Neuralist
• have Nova create Things, plans, and other structure for you
• give Nova larger goals that take multiple steps to complete

Start with what you want, even if you don't know the steps to get there.

When you just want something handled

Give it to Nova

You don't have to figure out everything that needs to happen before you ask.

Tell Nova what you're trying to accomplish. It can research, combine what it finds with what's already in Neuralist, make changes, and put everything together for you.

For example:

• compare options and organize the best choices for you
• create or update a group of Things at once
• research something, make a structure, and create what you need in Neuralist

You tell Nova what you need. It takes care of the details.

When you're doing something together

Give everyone a shared place

Create a shared Board where everyone can plan, organize, and stay connected together.

You can:

• add and update Things together
• make plans and keep track of what’s happening
• chat with everyone on the Board
• see changes and activity as they happen
• share the same calendar

Everyone has the same picture, with conversation and everything you're keeping track of in one place.

When you need to focus

See things the way that helps right now

Switch between views depending on what you need:

• a simple list for seeing everything clearly
• a timeline to see things over time
• columns for keeping track of things moving in parallel

Add anything to your Focus list when you want to keep it close at hand.

When timing matters

See everything on a real calendar

Things 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

Keep up without starting over

Set Things to repeat while keeping track of each occurrence separately.

Neuralist keeps:

• completion history
• activity logs
• progress over time

What happened before stays part of the picture, even as things keep moving.
