Feature

Forward an email once. Do not retype the work it already described.

Email to task gives you a dedicated TapTidy address, parses the important fields, and lets you review the result before it becomes part of your system.

Forward

Claim your TapTidy address, then forward the messages that should become action instead of leaving them trapped in the inbox.

Review

TapTidy proposes the title, due timing, and other structured details so you can confirm them before they become part of the task system.

Save

The email becomes a task with context attached, which is much faster than manually copying the same details into a new item.

Why it helps

Email is already a capture stream. The product should turn it into structure without pretending perfect automation.

The review step is important. This feature is strongest when it removes repetitive typing, not when it hides uncertainty.

Good for forwarded commitments

Booking confirmations, reminders, and replies that imply follow-up all become easier to operationalize when capture is one forward away.

Good for keeping context

The source material stays attached so the resulting task is not stripped of the details that made it important in the first place.

Privacy and plan fit

Where email capture sits in the product model.

Email-to-task is a Pro workflow. On Pro, the created task follows the same stronger privacy posture as the rest of your encrypted task system.

The practical questions after the promise.

This feature is easiest to trust when the parsing step stays visible and the privacy boundary stays clear.

Yes. On Pro you can claim a TapTidy forwarding address and create tasks from forwarded mail.

The inbox is already telling you what needs action. The product should make capture faster than procrastination.

Email to task exists to reduce the friction between receiving a commitment and putting it in the system that will actually manage it.
