Everything Dashii can do, in a few short sections.
Getting started
Dashii keeps your links, to-dos, notes, drafts and images in workspaces, with Home as your starting page.
- Make a workspace for anything: a project, a trip, a job hunt, a reading list.
- Add things with the Add bar at the bottom of a workspace.
- Open Home to see what's due, what's pinned and what you were writing.
Workspaces
A workspace holds whatever belongs together. It can be any shape you need.
- New workspace in the sidebar: name a blank one, or start from an idea like Trip or Job hunt. Starters come with a few examples you can delete.
- Click a workspace's name to rename it. Drag workspaces in the sidebar to reorder them.
- The ··· menu on a workspace lets you add an emoji icon or a cover photo (Pro), or delete it. Deleted workspaces wait in Trash.
What you can add
- Links. Paste a link and Dashii fills in the title, picture and description. Switch between a list and cards. Mark a link as read and it folds away.
- To-dos. Check them off, give them a due date, and make them repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Finished ones fold into a “done” row.
- Notes. Quick thoughts on a sticky note. Start a line with
[ ]to make a checklist. Turn a note into a draft when it grows. - Drafts. Long-form writing in a clean editor that saves as you type. Focus mode dims everything but the paragraph you're on.
- Images (Pro). Upload, drop or paste images, or paste an image link. Add captions, and see them on a board. Up to 4 MB each.
Every item has a ··· menu to pin it, tag it, move it to another workspace or delete it.
Home and widgets
Home is yours to arrange.
- Customize to add, remove, resize and drag widgets: Today, Pinned, Continue writing, Quick add and Workspaces are free.
- Pro adds Clock, Calendar, Quote, Countdown, Focus timer, Rediscover, Scratchpad, Recent links and a pinned workspace.
- Background picks a color. Pro adds any color you like, or your own photo.
Finding things
- Press ⌘K (or Ctrl K) to search every workspace at once. Type an action like “trash” or “new draft” to jump there.
- Type anything else and press Enter to add it as a to-do or note, or paste a link to save it.
- Tags group things across workspaces. Make them in Settings, then filter a workspace by tag. Each tag shows how many items it has.
- Pin anything to keep it at the top of its workspace and on Home.
Saving from the web
- In Settings, Quick save, drag the Save to Dashii button to your browser's bookmarks bar. Click it on any page to save that page.
- Pro can also keep the page's main image on a board.
- On a phone, Quick save gives an address that Shortcuts and other apps can open to save a link.
Free and Pro
