Feature
Turn the requests in your email into tasks, automatically
Mora reads your mail and pulls out the things you need to do, with due dates and priority, each linked back to the message and the client it came from. The to-do list builds itself from the work already in your inbox.
The problem
What gets lost today
Every client email is a small pile of things to do: send this, review that, follow up by Thursday. If you don't stop and write each one down, it lives only in the thread, and the thread scrolls away.
Copying tasks from email into a separate task manager is its own chore, and it's the first thing to go when you're busy. So the tasks that matter most, the ones from paying clients, are exactly the ones that slip.
How Mora solves it
A better way to handle it
Mora extracts the to-dos from your email as they arrive, with a due date and priority, and keeps a link to the source message so you always know why the task exists. You can add tasks by hand too, and a smart quick-add turns a plain sentence into a structured task.
It also helps you work the list. Plan my day ranks your top five with reasons. Break it down splits a big task into steps. Tidy up gives you a verdict on stale tasks so the list stays honest.
Step by step
How it works in practice
- 01
Requests become tasks
Mora reads incoming mail, identifies what you're being asked to do, and proposes a task with a due date and priority.
- 02
Each task keeps its context
Every task links to the source email and the client, so you can jump straight back to why it exists.
- 03
You manage it like a real tool
List, board, and calendar views; subtasks, recurring tasks, comments, and history. Group by due date, category, or client.
- 04
AI helps you prioritize
Plan my day ranks your top five. Break it down splits big work into steps. Tidy up flags what's gone stale.

In practice
A real example
A client writes, "Can you send the revised proposal by Friday and loop in your designer?" Mora creates two tasks, a proposal task due Friday and a task to involve your designer, both linked to the email and tagged to that client. Nothing gets written down twice.
Who it helps
Busy operators juggling many small commitments across many clients: consultants, agencies, and service businesses where the work arrives as requests, not tickets.
You stay in control
It proposes, you decide
- Extracted tasks are proposals. Accept, edit, or dismiss each one.
- Every task links back to the email it came from.
- You set and change due dates and priority.
- Manual tasks live alongside extracted ones.
