Kenotex turns one messy line of text into todos, events and reminders — written in the Ideas canvas and parsed by AI into your day. This guide covers everything from your first parse to the lunar almanac and exporting notes.Kenotex 把一句随手写下的话,拆成待办、日程和提醒 —— 在「想法」画布里写,AI 解析后归入你的一天。这份知识库从第一次解析,一路讲到农历宜忌与笔记导出。
What Kenotex doesKenotex 是什么
Kenotex is a natural-language planner for iPhone and Mac. You write the way you think in the Ideas canvas; AI reads each block and files it as a todo, a calendar event, or a note — no forms, no fiddly date pickers.Kenotex 是一款面向 iPhone 与 Mac 的自然语言日程助手。你在「想法」画布里怎么想就怎么写,AI 读懂后把每个块归类为待办、日程或笔记 —— 不用填表单,不用拨日期选择器。
Who it's for适合谁用
New users — start with the 5-minute quick start, then read the interface overview.新用户 —— 从「5 分钟快速上手」开始,再看界面总览。
Returning users — jump straight to any feature from the left nav.老用户 —— 直接用左侧导航跳到任意功能页查阅。
From a blank canvas to todos, events and notes in your day. Do these five things once and you'll have the whole loop.从一块空白画布到落进你一天里的待办、日程与笔记。把下面五步走一遍,核心闭环就跑通了。
The five steps五步走
1
Open Ideas and jot anything into blocks — mixed languages, lists, pasted text. No need to sort it first.打开「想法」,把任何东西写进块里 —— 中英混排、清单、粘贴都行,不必先分类。
2
Tap the Parse pill (or ⌘↵ on Mac). AI reads each block and labels it as a todo, event or note.点「解析」胶囊(Mac 上按 ⌘↵)。AI 读取每个块,标注为待办、日程或笔记。
3
Review the preview and fix any wrong type before you send.发送前检查解析结果,类型不对就改。
4
Send: todos go to Todos, events go to the Calendar, notes forward to your note app.发送:待办进待办、日程进日历、笔记转发到你的笔记应用。
5
Check your day in the Calendar and tick off todos as you go.到日历看你的一天,边做边勾掉待办。
On Mac, press ⌘I to open Ideas, or ⌘⌃⇧I to pop the mini window from any app.在 Mac 上按 ⌘I 打开「想法」,或按 ⌘⌃⇧I 在任意应用里弹出迷你窗。
Kenotex uses a sidebar with four sections. Ideas isn't a section — it's an overlay you can summon from anywhere.Kenotex 用侧栏导航,共四个区块。「想法」不是区块,而是随处可唤起的浮层。
The four sidebar sections侧栏的四个区块
Todos — tasks in a three-stage flow: Focus, Shelves (the category grid), and category detail.待办 —— 三段式:专注、书架(分类网格)、分类详情。
Calendar — month and week views, with lunar dates and almanac.日历 —— 月、周视图,带农历与宜忌。
Agenda — a running list of what's coming up.日程 —— 接下来事项的连续列表。
Check-in — daily recurring todos turned into habits with streaks.打卡 —— 把每日循环待办升级为习惯,记录连续天数。
Ideas, the capture overlay想法 —— 速记浮层
Ideas opens as a full-screen overlay on Mac (button or ⌘I) and as a sheet on iPhone (the round button at the bottom-right). It's where you write and parse, not a permanent tab.「想法」在 Mac 上以全屏浮层打开(按钮或 ⌘I),在 iPhone 上是右下角圆按钮弹出的浮层。它是你写与解析的地方,不是常驻标签。
Kenotex ships with 29 themes (17 dark + 12 light) and a Follow System option. Pick whatever keeps you in the app longest — your data looks the same underneath.Kenotex 内置 29 款主题(17 深色 + 12 浅色),并可跟随系统。挑一个让你愿意多停留的就好 —— 底层数据完全一样。
Drop any thought in, parse in one tap把任何想法丢进来,一键解析
Ideas is a Notion-style block canvas. Jot ideas into blocks; when you're ready, let AI turn them into todos, events or notes, then dispatch each where it belongs.「想法」是一块 Notion 风格的块画布。把想法写进块里,准备好时再让 AI 解析成待办、日程或笔记,再分发到对应的地方。
Three steps三步走
1
Write freely into blocks. Mixed languages, lists and paste all work; on Mac press ⌘I to summon it. No need to decide the type first.在块画布里随手写。支持多语言混排、清单、粘贴;Mac 上按 ⌘I 唤起,无需先想清楚分类。
2
Tap the Parse pill (Mac: ⌘↵ on the focused block). AI labels each block's type and shows a preview. Pro users can enable auto-parse, which runs about a second after you stop typing.点「解析」胶囊(Mac 上对聚焦的块按 ⌘↵)。AI 标注每个块的类型并给出预览。Pro 用户可开启自动解析,停笔约一秒后自动运行。
3
Send: todos enter Todos, events enter the Calendar, notes forward to Apple Notes / Bear / Obsidian / Notion / clipboard.发送:待办进待办、日程进日历、笔记转发到 Apple Notes / Bear / Obsidian / Notion / 剪贴板。
Video: one Ideas block gets parsed into calendar events, dated todos, a recurring todo and a note preview before sending.视频:一个「想法」块被解析成日程、带日期的待办、循环待办和笔记预览,发送前可以逐项确认。
How parsing works解析的工作原理
AI reads relative dates ("tomorrow 9am", "before Friday"), recognizes lists, and infers whether each block is actionable — one block can fan out into several items. You stay in control: every type is editable before you send.AI 能读懂相对日期(「明天早上9点」「周五下班前」),识别清单,并判断每个块是否可执行 —— 一个块可拆成多个条目。主动权在你手上:发送前每种类型都可手动修改。
In the demo above, the same block contains a copy-review meeting, a gym class, TestFlight feedback work, rent payment and a product-improvement note. Parse keeps them together as one draft, then separates them by destination.上方演示里,同一个块同时包含文案会议、健身课、TestFlight 反馈整理、交房租和产品改进笔记。解析会先保留在同一份草稿里,再按去向拆成不同条目。
Sending & dispatch发送与分发
Note blocks are never stored inside Kenotex — they always forward to your chosen note app or the clipboard, keeping a single source of truth.笔记块从不在 Kenotex 内保存,始终转发到你选定的笔记应用或剪贴板 —— 保持单一信息源。
The Todos section flows through three stages — Focus, Shelves and category detail — so today's work, your category grid, and a single list never blur together.待办分三段流转 —— 专注、书架、分类详情 —— 让今天要做的、你的分类网格、和单个清单互不干扰。
Focus / Shelves / category detail专注 / 书架 / 分类详情
Focus — the default entry: overdue plus today's tasks. Toggle between Focus and Recent (completed in the last few days).专注 —— 默认入口:过期加今日的任务。可在「专注」与「最近」(近几天完成)间切换。
Shelves — the category grid. Each card is one category, showing its name and open count; items without a category land in Uncategorized.书架 —— 分类网格。每张卡是一个分类,显示名称与未完成数;没有分类的条目归入「未分类」。
Category detail — inside one category, four sub-views: Active, Upcoming (starts in the future), Someday (no dates yet), and Completed.分类详情 —— 单个分类下四个子视图:待办、未来(起始日在将来)、待定(尚无日期)、已完成。
Screenshot · todos three stages界面截图 · 待办三段式
Start dates, deadlines & reminders起始、截止与提醒
A todo can carry a start date (before it, the task shows as not-started and greyed out), a deadline (used for overdue), and one or more reminders (a local notification N minutes before). Set them in natural language while writing, or tap to adjust later.待办可带起始日(在此之前显示为未开始、置灰)、截止日期(用于判断过期),以及一个或多个提醒(提前 N 分钟的本地通知)。可在书写时用自然语言写好,也可之后点开调整。
Partial completion部分完成
Not every task is simply not done or done. Kenotex lets you mark progress as Started, Mostly done, or Completed, so your todo list can reflect the real state of the work.不是每个任务都只有「没做」或「做完」两种状态。Kenotex 支持把进度标成起步、大半或完成,让待办列表更接近真实推进情况。
Use it when a task has already moved forward but should not disappear from your active list yet: a draft has been started, a chore is halfway done, or a project is almost ready but still needs a final pass.当一件事已经推进,但还不该从待办里消失时就适合用它:草稿已经开写、家务做到一半、项目差最后检查,都可以先记录进度,而不是假装完成。
Video: a todo moves through partial progress states before it is fully completed.视频:一条待办先标记为部分完成,再继续推进到真正完成。
Undo a completed todo完成后快速撤销
If you tick the wrong todo by mistake, Kenotex shows a short undo toast at the bottom of the screen. Tap Undo within 5 seconds to bring the todo back to its previous state.如果手滑勾错待办,Kenotex 会在屏幕底部弹出一个短暂的撤销提示。5 秒内点击「撤销」,就能把这条待办恢复到完成前的状态。
This is designed as a quick safety net for accidental completion. It works from the main Focus flow and category detail lists, and preserves the app's todo/reminder handling behind the scenes.这个设计是给误触准备的即时保险。无论是在专注流里还是分类详情里勾选完成,都可以用同一条底部提示快速回退,背后的待办与提醒状态也会一起恢复。
Video: completing a todo shows the bottom undo toast; tapping Undo before the countdown ends restores the todo.视频:勾选完成后底部出现撤销提示;倒计时结束前点击「撤销」,待办会恢复回来。
A daily-once recurring todo can graduate into a habit — see Check-in. Recurrence options live in Recurring & reminders.「每天 1 次」的循环待办可升级为习惯 —— 见「打卡」。循环规则见「循环与提醒」。
Events parsed in Ideas land here automatically; you can also pull in your system calendar. Moments, public holidays, make-up workdays, lunar dates and almanac are built right in.在「想法」里解析出的日程会自动落在这里;也可接入系统日历。时刻、法定节假日、调休工作日、农历与宜忌都内建其中。
Calendar views日历视图
Month — the big picture, with lunar dates and almanac marks.月视图 —— 全局概览,带农历日期与宜忌标记。
Week — time-blocked columns for a tighter plan. Toggle Month / Week at the top.周视图 —— 时间分块的列,排得更紧凑。顶部切换月 / 周。
Public holidays & make-up workdays法定节假日与调休
Kenotex can mark public holidays and make-up workdays in the calendar for 201 countries and regions. The primary calendar can follow your system region automatically, or you can choose a country/region manually from Settings.Kenotex 可以在日历里标记 201 个国家和地区的法定节假日与调休工作日。主日历可以自动跟随系统地区,也可以在设置里手动选择国家或地区。
Workday-recurring todos use the same primary holiday calendar, so they skip weekends and public holidays but still include official make-up workdays. Optional add-on holidays can be layered on top for cultural, religious or regional dates; they do not change workday-recurring skip logic.「工作日循环」待办会使用同一套主日历:跳过周末和法定节假日,但会把官方调休工作日视为工作日。你也可以叠加文化、宗教或地区类追加节日;这些追加项只用于显示,不会改变工作日循环的跳过逻辑。
Video: choose Auto or a manual country/region, then view the matching public holidays and make-up workdays in the calendar.视频:选择自动或手动国家/地区后,日历会显示对应的法定节假日与调休工作日。
Moments are for dates that matter outside normal tasks: birthdays, anniversaries, and personal milestones you want to remember. They can appear on month-grid cells, in day detail, and in the Moments list.「时刻」用来记录普通任务之外的重要日期:家人朋友的生日、纪念日,以及对你有意义的个人节点。它们可以显示在月视图格点、日详情和时刻列表里。
Each moment shows a countdown to the next occurrence. Tap the left icon in the list to switch between countdown and elapsed view: birthdays can show the upcoming age when a birth year is set, while anniversaries can show elapsed days when a start year is set. Both birthdays and anniversaries can recur yearly on Gregorian or lunar dates.每条时刻都会显示距离下次还有几天。在列表里点击左侧图标,可以在「倒数」和「累计」之间切换:生日可显示即将几岁,纪念日可显示已过多少天。生日和纪念日都支持按公历或农历每年复发。
If Moment reminders are enabled, Kenotex notifies you at 10:00 the day before and on the day itself, so important dates are easier to remember in advance.开启「时刻提醒」后,Kenotex 会在生日或纪念日的前一天和当天上午 10:00 通知你,提前留出准备时间。
Video: create moments for birthdays and anniversaries, then check countdown and elapsed-day views.视频:创建生日和纪念日时刻,并查看倒数日与累计视图。
Agenda日程 Agenda
Agenda is its own sidebar section — a clean, running list of upcoming events (with a lunar column), separate from the month/week grid.「日程」是独立的侧栏区块 —— 接下来事件的清爽连续列表(带农历列),与月/周网格分开。
Screenshot · month view with lunar界面截图 · 带农历的月视图
Tapping a day点某天
Tap a day to open its detail panel (no popup): the lunar / almanac card if enabled, then that day's events, todos and moments. Events come from Ideas and from your Apple Calendar (EventKit).点某天会打开当天详情面板(不弹窗):若开启则显示农历/宜忌卡,然后是当天的事件、待办与时刻。事件来自「想法」与你的 Apple 日历(EventKit)。
Promote a daily-once recurring todo into a habit and Kenotex tracks every check-in — including several times a day — and counts your streak.把「每天 1 次」的循环待办升级为习惯,Kenotex 会记录每一次打卡(可一天多次),并累计你的连续天数。
From recurring todo to habit从循环待办到习惯
1
Set a todo to recur daily, once per day (frequency daily, interval 1). Every-other-day, weekly, monthly, yearly, workday and after-completion recurrences are not eligible.把待办设为「每天 1 次」的循环(频率 daily、间隔 1)。隔天、每周、每月、每年、工作日、完成后再排都不可转。
2
In Check-in, tap Convert to habit. This is one-way and irreversible — the original todo migrates into a habit.在「打卡」里点「转为习惯」。这是一次性、不可逆的迁移 —— 原待办会变成习惯。
3
Tap to check in. You can configure multiple doses (up to several per day); a day counts toward your streak only when all doses are done.点击打卡。可配置多剂次(一天最多数次);当天全部剂次完成,才计入连续天数。
Only daily, once-per-day regular recurring todos can become habits.只有「每天 1 次」的常规循环任务可以变成打卡习惯。
Categories group your todos by context. They're the only organizing axis — Kenotex has no separate tag system.分类把待办按场景归组。它是唯一的组织维度 —— Kenotex 没有独立的标签系统。
How categories work分类怎么用
User-defined, with three defaults you can rename or delete: Work, Life, Travel.用户自定义,内置三个可改名/删除的默认分类:工作、生活、旅行。
One category per todo (optional). Delete a category and its todos fall back to Uncategorized.每个待办最多一个分类(可不设)。删除分类后,其待办回到「未分类」。
Categories appear as the Shelves grid in Todos; each card shows the category name and open count.分类在待办里以「书架」网格呈现,每张卡显示分类名称与未完成数。
There are no tags. If you've used tag-based apps before: in Kenotex, a category is the single home for each todo.这里没有标签。如果你用过基于标签的应用:在 Kenotex,分类就是每个待办唯一的归属。
Set a todo to repeat and get nudged at the right moment.把待办设成重复,并在合适的时刻收到提醒。
Recurrence options循环规则
Frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or workday (weekdays, holiday-aware).频率:每天、每周、每月、每年,或工作日(节假日感知)。
Interval: every N units (e.g. every 2 weeks). Pick specific weekdays, or a day of month / month of year.间隔:每 N 个单位(如每 2 周)。可指定具体周几,或每月几号 / 每年几月。
Mode: regular, or after-completion (the next one schedules from when you finish).模式:常规,或完成后再排(下一次从你完成时计)。
Ends: never, on a date, or after a number of times.结束:永不、到某天,或满 N 次。
Reminders提醒
Reminders fire as local notifications a set number of minutes before (0 = at the time). They attach to todos and events. Pair a daily-once recurrence with Check-in for habits you want to keep.提醒以本地通知形式触发,可设提前几分钟(0 = 准时)。可加在待办或事件上。把「每天 1 次」的循环与「打卡」搭配,守住想坚持的习惯。
The calendar can show lunar dates and the traditional almanac — yi (auspicious) and ji (inauspicious) — alongside your events.日历可在你的事件旁,显示农历日期与传统宜忌。
Where to find it在哪查看
In month view, tap a day to open its detail panel. It shows the lunar date and solar term, with a green 宜 (yi) row and a red 忌 (ji) row. Turn it on with "Show lunar in calendar" in Settings.在月视图点某天打开详情面板,显示农历日期与节气,并有绿色「宜」行与红色「忌」行。在设置里开启「在日历显示农历」即可。
Lunar recurrence农历循环
Lunar dates also power lunar-recurring events and birthdays, so a date that repeats by the lunar calendar lands on the right Gregorian day each year.农历也用于按农历循环的事件与生日,让按农历重复的日子每年都落在正确的公历日。
Almanac data currently covers 2026–2027.宜忌数据目前覆盖 2026–2027 年。
Notes don't pile up inside Kenotex. They forward to the app you already use — keeping one source of truth for your writing.笔记不在 Kenotex 里堆积。它们会转发到你本来就在用的应用 —— 让你的文字保持单一信息源。

Quick answers to the things people ask most.大家问得最多的问题,这里有快速答案。
Common questions热门问题
What if a parse is wrong?解析不准确时怎么办?
Every parsed item is editable before you send. Change the type, date or text — nothing is committed until you hit Send.发送前每个解析结果都可编辑。可改类型、日期或文字 —— 不点发送就不会落地。
Where is my data stored? Does it sync?数据保存在哪里?会同步吗?
Your todos, events and habits are stored locally in a SQLite database and sync across your devices via iCloud (CloudKit); settings sync via iCloud key-value store. Note content is forwarded out to your chosen note app rather than stored long-term in Kenotex.你的待办、日程与习惯保存在本地 SQLite 数据库,并通过 iCloud(CloudKit)在你的设备间同步;设置通过 iCloud 键值存储同步。笔记内容会转发到你选定的笔记应用,而非在 Kenotex 内长期保存。
How do I check in multiple times a day?如何设置每天多次打卡?
Convert a daily-once recurring todo into a habit, then give the habit multiple doses; each day's streak counts only once all doses are done.把「每天 1 次」的循环待办转为习惯,再给习惯设置多剂次;当天全部剂次完成才计入连续天数。
Can a todo be partly completed?待办可以只完成一部分吗?
Yes. You can mark a todo as Started or Mostly done before finally completing it. This keeps the task visible while still recording real progress.可以。待办可以先标成「起步」或「大半」,最后再标记完成。这样任务仍留在列表里,同时也能记录真实进度。
Can I undo a todo I just completed?刚完成的待办可以撤销吗?
Yes. After you mark a todo complete, Kenotex shows an Undo toast for 5 seconds. Tap it to restore the todo. After the toast disappears, use Recent / Completed to find the item and change it manually if needed.可以。待办被标记完成后,Kenotex 会显示 5 秒撤销提示。点击后即可恢复。提示消失后,也可以在「最近」或「已完成」里找到这条待办并手动改回。
Can Kenotex show public holidays for different countries?可以显示不同国家地区的法定节假日吗?
Yes. In Settings, the public-holiday primary calendar can follow your system region automatically, or you can manually choose a country/region. These holidays and make-up workdays appear in the calendar and are also used by workday-recurring todos.可以。在设置里,法定节假日主日历可以自动跟随系统地区,也可以手动选择国家或地区。对应的节假日和调休工作日会显示在日历里,也会被「工作日循环」待办使用。
What are Moments for?「时刻」可以用来做什么?
Moments are for birthdays, anniversaries and personal milestones. They can recur yearly on Gregorian or lunar dates, show countdowns to the next occurrence, and switch to elapsed or age view when the needed year is set.「时刻」适合记录生日、纪念日和个人重要节点。它们可以按公历或农历每年复发,显示距离下次还有几天;如果填了出生年或起始年,也能切换查看年龄或已过天数。
Where do I see the lunar date and almanac?农历和「宜忌」从哪看?
Turn on "Show lunar in calendar" in Settings, then tap any day in month view — the detail panel shows the lunar date, solar term and yi / ji (covers 2026–2027).在设置开启「在日历显示农历」,然后在月视图点任意一天 —— 详情面板会显示农历日期、节气与宜 / 忌(覆盖 2026–2027 年)。
