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

  • Free includes 3 workspaces and unlimited links, to-dos, notes and drafts, with previews, tags, search, checklists and repeating to-dos.
  • Pro is $6 a month or $60 a year. It adds unlimited workspaces, images, photo backgrounds and covers, emoji icons and more Home widgets.
  • Upgrade from Settings, Plan. Cancel anytime. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
  • If you leave Pro, everything you made stays. You just can't add new Pro things.

Your data

  • Deleted items and workspaces go to Trash. Restore them, or delete them for good.
  • Settings lets you download everything you've saved, or delete your account.
  • See the Privacy Policy for what Dashii keeps and why.
