What is Snap-a-Task?

Snap-a-Task lets you turn real-life follow-ups—calls, texts, voicemails, emails, and more—into actionable Tasks by sharing a screenshot directly to NoPlex.

Whether it’s a reminder to respond to someone, call them back, or follow through on something you just saw, Snap-a-Task removes the friction between “I should do that” and “It’s on my list.”


How It Works

Instead of relying on red dots, unread badges, or mental bandwidth, Snap-a-Task gives you a better habit.

The goal is simple: eliminate the clicks between attention and action.

  1. Take a Screenshot
    Use your phone’s built-in screenshot feature to capture something you want to act on.

  2. Tap Share → Select NoPlex
    After you take the screenshot, tap the share icon. You’ll now see NoPlex as an option—tap it.

  3. Let It Process (1–10 seconds)
    NoPlex will scan the image and surface all the possible Tasks it detects based on the context in your screenshot.

  4. Choose What to Keep
    You’ll see a list of suggested Tasks—each with a checkbox. Deselect anything you don’t need, and confirm to add them to your Horizon.

  5. That’s It
    Your selected Tasks will appear on your Horizon, ready to take action, edit, or schedule.


What Snap-a-Task Is Great For

  • Missed calls you need to return

  • Texts you haven’t responded to

  • Voicemails you meant to listen to

  • Screenshots of email threads, DMs, or notifications

  • Capturing a piece of physical mail

  • Onboarding from other apps—screenshot your task list and move it to NoPlex in seconds


Migrating from Another App

Switching to NoPlex from another to-do app? No need to retype your entire list. Just screenshot the tasks from your old app (even across multiple screens), share each screenshot to NoPlex, and confirm the suggested Tasks. It’s fast, and you won’t lose anything in the shuffle.


Good to Know

  • Mobile-Only: Snap-a-Task is available on iOS and Android, and only works on mobile devices.

  • No Repeating Tasks (Yet): Snap-a-Task doesn’t currently allow you to set recurring schedules during import. You can always edit Tasks afterward to add repeat logic.

  • NoPlex Must Be Installed & Logged In: For Snap-a-Task to show up in the share menu, make sure NoPlex is installed and you’re logged in.


FAQs

Can I use Snap-a-Task on my computer?
Not right now. This feature is mobile-only.

What if NoPlex isn’t showing up in my share menu?
Make sure the NoPlex app is installed and you’re signed in. On some devices, you may need to enable NoPlex in the share settings the first time you use it.

Does Snap-a-Task work with images from my photo library?
Yes! As long as it’s a screenshot, you can open it and share it to NoPlex later.
