Gumption

Support

Gumption picks one task for the time and energy you have, shrinks it to a first step, and times it, so starting is the easy part.

Getting started

In the app, open Settings → Help → How Gumption works for a short tour of every feature, or tap Try with example tasks to look around before adding your own. Remove example tasks takes them away again and leaves your own tasks alone.

Common questions

Do I need an account?
No. Everything works on one device without signing in. Connect a Google account in Settings → Sync only if you want your tasks on more than one device.

Can I keep work and personal tasks apart?
Yes. Every task is Personal or Work, and each side can sync to a different Google account. If your work account is in an Android work profile, install Gumption in the work profile too and connect Work there.

Reminders don't arrive or come late (Android).
Allow notifications for Gumption, and set Android Settings → Apps → Gumption → Battery to Unrestricted. Some phones stop background alarms to save battery.

Google sync says to reconnect.
Right after an update, give it a minute: the app retries by itself. If it still asks, tap Reconnect in Settings → Sync. Your tasks on the device are kept either way.

How do I move to a new phone?
Connect Google sync on both phones, or use Settings → Backup → Save a backup file on the old phone and Restore from a backup file on the new one.

Does it cost anything?
No. The optional AI helper uses your own Anthropic API key, which Anthropic bills separately. Without a key, Suggest steps works for free and offline.

Privacy
