WHAT MAKES SET DIFFERENT?
Most task apps make you manually adjust times when life happens. Set does it for you, in one drag or one tap. Tasks are scheduled sequentially, so everything flows naturally.
It's task management that thinks the way you do.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Set 3.1 is a focused round of quality-of-life upgrades: a distraction-free focus mode, swipe to clear finished tasks, faster deleting, adjustable title lengths, and a new quick-add bar on Mac.
NEW FEATURES
Focus Mode (iPhone & iPad)
Tap the empty space below your Today list, or tap the Today tab again, to enter a distraction-free view that hides everything but your tasks and start times. Rows go read-only: tap a task to reveal its circle and check it off, and the estimated finish time shows at the bottom. New options under Settings, Interface can also hide completed tasks and the status bar in focus mode. Tap the exit button or the background to leave.
Clear Completed, One at a Time
Swipe any finished task in Today to log it (iPhone & iPad), or right-click it and choose Log Task on Mac. It moves to your stats and clears from the list, so you no longer have to log the whole day at once.
Quick-Add Bar on Mac
A persistent "Add a task" bar now sits at the bottom of Today, every project, and the Inbox on Mac, adapting its label to where the task will go. Type and press Return to capture tasks without reaching for the toolbar, and keep going to add several in a row. It parses durations, dates, and times from what you type ("45m", "tomorrow", "10.15") just like the inline editor, and the buttons on the right set the priority (click to cycle, right-click to choose) and default duration for new tasks.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Quick Delete: turn it on under Settings > Interface to delete tasks instantly, with no confirmation popup.
- Adjustable title length: choose how many lines task and subtask titles show before they truncate, from one to five, under Settings > Interface.
- Swiping a blank, just-created task now deletes it instead of running your usual swipe action.
- Mac toolbar: a new option under Settings > Interface always collapses the Today toolbar into a single menu, instead of only when the window is narrow.
- Auto-Simplify Timer: a new option under Settings, Timer strips the running timer down to just the countdown and task name; pausing brings the controls back. A companion option can hide the status bar while the timer is simplified.
- The timer screen is tidier: the countdown sits dead centre, the ambient-sound and subtask buttons moved to matching top corners, and the app-blocker shield badge is gone. You can still pause or turn off the App Blocker anytime from Settings.
- The More Apps section in Settings now pulls my latest apps straight from the App Store, so it stays up to date on its own.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a crash that could happen when resetting all data.
MAC NOTES
- The quick-add bar is Mac only. Focus mode and swipe actions remain on iPhone and iPad.
