A powerful, customizable task manager built exclusively for Apple devices. Fast, focused, and deeply integrated! Things that need to get done don't always have a binary state. They aren't always 'to-do,' and 'done.' That's why you need an app that tracks when you're actually doing something, lets you tag it to suit your needs, and lets you set a priority for individual commitments so nothing falls through the cracks. Items can be in progress, in testing, on hold, and more – and it's all customizable to your specific needs and workflow Statuses like 'Review,' 'Test,' and more are just a few clicks away. Because the best way to see project progress in in a Kanban view, Tasks has that as well! Tasks is the task manager you've been waiting for to help take your productivity to the next level and beyond. Some of Tasks key features include: * Tags so you can immediately see what phone calls need to be made, or what needs to be collected from the local grocery store. * Folders, projects, tasks, and sub-tasks so you can organize your life hierarchically in a way that makes sense to you, not the app. * Create and save smart lists and perform powerful queries across projects. * Support for a powerful kanban view, so you'll know which tasks are at in what state and where they need to go next. * Endless customization on a per-project basis. Tasks can have a notes field, URL field, description field, remarks field and more all depending on a project's needs. Priorities and tags are fully customizable as well. * Tag and date recommendations that can be used or ignored – it's up to you! * Attachments including PDFs and images so you always have the information you need when taking on a new item from your to-do list. * iCloud sync support so your tasks, and their state, always follow you from iPhone to iPad to Mac and back again. * Apple's latest features and APIs. Home screen widgets, dark mode, split-screen view on iPad, and more are all included to make it easier and faster than ever to get your work done. * Keyboard and trackpad support – if your iPad is your computer, Tasks has your back. * Widgets so you have your tasks right on your Home Screen for quick and easy access. * Siri Shortcuts for all of you power users. * Tasks adapts its font size to work well with your preference so nothing is too small or too large for your screen. * Some other features include, Quick notes, Time Sensitive notifications, rich notifications with actions, dark mode and a whole lot more. Tasks takes your privacy extremely seriously. None of your data ever leaves iCloud and your devices. We can't see it, and we don't want to. Tasks is a one time purchase across all of your Apple devices, including the Mac app. Pay once, use everywhere. Updated to take the best of iOS 15 and macOS Monterey, try Tasks on all platforms. QUESTIONS? If you have any questions, or run into any trouble, please contact us. We would love to help you out.

Better than most digital to do lists that I’ve ever worked with, if not all of them. I’ve tried setting up to do list systems using Todoist, Evernote, Milanote, Tot, Sidenote, Google Docs, Keep, Tasks & Sheets, Excel, Trello, Notion, Scrap Paper, Reminders, & many more virtual software projects - none of which ever worked better than my physical notebook…. That is….Until this freaky app caught my normally jaded eyes.I’m actually happy to open Tasks anytime a new to-do comes to mind, regardless of whether I’m using my Macbook, Phone, or iPad. They’re all pleasant to use & the cross-device sync is even faster & more reliable than iCloud Notes. I hate writing reviews but Jesus took the wheel here & so I’m reporting to bring the good news. Tasks is the last one I’ll ever need after decades of subpar software. Don’t you want to declutter & shelve your action items using just ONE APP ALONE?!? This is it, boys - you asked and they delivered with frictionless simplicity & smooth ux, Tasks - the FINAL LIST FROM YOUR FINGER LICKIN FANTASY 😋😚

I actually was causally walking back home when I got notified about your review and honestly it is why I love doing what I do and brought a tear to my eye! Really glad Tasks clicked for you and checks all of your boxes. I can’t wait to ship the exciting feature and updates and keep blowing you away and hope to keep your jaded eyes fixated on my app! Thank you for making my day, hope you have a productive time and have fun staying organized!Regards, Mustata

Glitchy and Touchy App with False Advertising

I'm a bit disappointed by the top reviews that were highlighted and unless I'm missing something, they are misleading. This app was free but I couldnt do anything without paying over $20 for an individual subscription, for starters. I understand if there are cool features to put that behind a paywall, but to even use it at all I had to pay. So far, this app doesnt seem much different than the reminders app. It's also very glitchy and touchy with what you put in your lists. For example, when you add a task and then set a due date, if you had a typo in the task and go to fix it, then the date you set clears. I also tried to set a task on a custom schedule where it would list every first Tuesday of the month. While it let me click to do that in the custom settings, when I hit done the button reset to weekly on it's own and I couldnt do it. It's also weird because if you have something that is on a monthly schedule, if you hit done then it never moves to the done tab. It stays in your to do. I wish it would move over to done until the first of the next month and then it would reset. I wanted to use this to help me remember my monthly bills, but I could have just done this for free with the reminders app because it doesnt offer anything like what i mentioned that would make it unique. I do like that it allows you to make subtasks which is really nice. However, if that's the only difference in this application than using the reminders, then just save your money. Maybe my mind will change the more I use it, but as of now, I am wishing I didnt purchase this.

Two Projects for a Trial

The title speaks for itself. The app: it’s functions, features, custom attributes are well thought out and perform as desired. That’s why it gets 2 stars. It’s nothing special per any other Tasks app except for how colorful it is. I will say similar yet better is the amount of colors that can be assigned per a project is wonderfully surprising vs. the native Reminders app.Here’s the rub — Per the title, only two (2) projects and a third project pulls up the window pane to purchase the app and make it licensed. I think a trial for two projects is absurd. Give us at least 5 before requiring purchase. It just make me want to go back and use the Reminders app especially after looking at your pricing. Talk about greedy. If you’re going to charge a yearly fee it better come with new features monthly instead of additional users — this likely doesn’t help the average consumer. Ever heard of a tiered pricing structure for enabling features or added bonuses or a one time fee for X something or another? You’re app is just too expensive for what you get. I’ll go back to Reminders or another app called TickTick is also free regardless the amount of projects or tasks you add.

I got the tasks app a few years ago. I appreciate that you can make multiple projects, coordinate or collaborate with others, and add additional steps between a “to do” and “done”. I love that the app will automatically move completed tasks into the “done” section and that you can move them back if needed. Recommendations: Give the option to have a task that needs to be repeated to stay in done section when selected as opposed to going back to the to do section. Add a section that shows all that can be done on the app in depth. I see the main page that says what we can do but it does not explain further how to access or start those things. I would purchase this app again as a new user. As a returning user, the price is too high. (Grace in that I have not used all the functions of the application to truly be aware of its value. Thank you for creating this application. It is perfect for me.
