Defer

Defer is a general-purpose task inbox app developed by Here & Co, supporting iOS and macOS. Its core idea is to let users quickly capture tasks that pop into their heads first, and organize them later. On iOS, users can record tasks directly without agonizing over which app, folder, or tag to choose, thereby staying focused and quickly returning to the work at hand. Tasks automatically sync to the Mac menu bar for easy viewing and editing at any time. During the processing stage, users can distribute tasks to personal to-dos, work tools, or reading lists, and use a "Snooze" date to temporarily hide tasks until they are needed again. The Pro version offers theme customization, allowing fonts and color schemes to be changed; it also supports integration with other apps via Siri (for example, saying "Siri, Defer Something"), Shortcuts, and Webhooks, sending tasks on demand or automatically, and supports widgets. Both the free and Pro versions include: capturing and editing tasks, syncing between iOS and Mac, exporting as CSV or text, task snoozing, enabling or disabling badge counts, using Siri and Shortcuts, Mac global keyboard shortcuts, and the iOS share extension. The Pro version additionally includes: exporting as JSON, Reminders, or Markdown, batch completing or snoozing tasks, Webhooks, iOS app icon replacement, and iOS interface color customization. The official page does not provide specific pricing or subscription details, so these are not provided for now.

About this tool

Defer is a general-purpose task inbox app for iOS and macOS, developed by Here & Co. Its positioning is to help users first "dump" tasks out of their heads and organize them later, avoiding tasks being lost during the capture stage.

Purpose Defer's main purpose is to quickly capture tasks. Users do not need to decide which app, folder, or tag a task belongs to when recording it, thereby staying focused in the moment and returning to their original work immediately after recording.

Main capabilities

  • Capture and edit tasks: quickly record on iOS, then edit later.
  • Sync: automatic syncing between iOS and Mac; on Mac, tasks appear in the menu bar for easy viewing.
  • Processing and organizing: tasks can later be distributed to personal to-dos, work tools, or reading lists.
  • Snooze: through date settings, tasks are temporarily hidden until they are needed.
  • Export: the free version can export as CSV or text; the Pro version can export as JSON, Reminders, or Markdown.
  • Batch operations: the Pro version supports batch completing or snoozing tasks.
  • Siri and Shortcuts: use "Siri, Defer Something" for voice recording, and it can also be linked with other actions.
  • Webhooks: the Pro version can send tasks to other apps on demand or automatically.
  • Widgets: widgets are supported.
  • Personalization: the Pro version offers a choice of fonts, light colors, or soft color schemes; on iOS, alternative app icons and custom interface colors can be changed.
