Inbox overview

The Inbox is TickTad’s front door. Capture anything from anywhere, without deciding where it belongs yet — then sort it when you have a moment.

Deciding “is this a task, a note, or an expense?” is the part that slows you down. The inbox removes that decision at the moment of capture. You get it in, and triage it in your weekly review.

  • Text you paste or type.
  • Links from anywhere.
  • Photos (receipts, whiteboards, notes).
  • Files and PDFs (with OCR text extraction).
  1. Share from other apps — the iOS Share Extension.
  2. Paste text & links — directly in the app.
  3. Photograph and run OCR to turn images into text.

Each inbox item is classified into one of five kinds — task, note, document, expense or todo — and TickTad suggests the right one for you. See Triage items.
