Eddy knows your schedule#
Ask Eddy "what should I do now?". It reads today's tasks, adds one when you ask (with Undo), drafts a plan you accept, and works on a task with you, logging a note and the minutes.
From a parent or a school paper#
A linked parent can add tasks. A school paper (a syllabus, an assignment sheet, a report card) becomes proposed tasks. Nothing is added until you accept. In Tasks, Add homework from a file opens a file with Eddy.
Tips#
- A task's page takes a description (with Markdown and math), sub-tasks and comments.
- Changes show at once on every device.
Limits#
- Without Plus, Pro and Unlimited, Ask Ducky to plan works a few times a day.
