## What is DoTree?

Most task apps flatten your life into a list. DoTree doesn't.

Here you break a goal down as far as you actually think — from the big ambition to the next small step. Folders inside folders, like a file system. Everything draggable, like files.

And when it's time to work, you never have to look at the tree: the Active view shows only what's due now.

• A TREE, NOT A LIST: unlimited depth, projects with progress bars — weighted by effort if you want
• WHAT'S ACTUALLY DUE: the Active view pulls today out of a thousand tasks, grouped by date or by priority
• IMPORTANT, OR MERELY URGENT: an Eisenhower matrix separates the two — and shows what's allowed to wait
• BEFORE YOU OVERCOMMIT: the Forecast adds up every day's hours and flags the ones where you've planned more than fits
• SPEAK IT INSTEAD OF TYPING: say what's on your mind and DoTree turns it into a structured outline with dates and effort, on device, for you to review before anything is created
• RECURRENCE THAT THINKS: fixed to a date even when things pile up, or starting over once you're done — weekdays, month days, multi-year rhythms
• DATES THAT INHERIT: subtasks take start and due dates from above, with optional times
• YOUR OWN ORDER: contexts with icons and colors, life areas, stars, and an idea store for everything that isn't a commitment yet
• APPLE CALENDAR: task time spans appear as entries in dedicated DoTree calendars, and move along when your dates change
• REMINDERS: push tasks to Apple Reminders and check them off on either side — done is done, everywhere
• ATTACHMENTS: photos straight from the camera, voice notes, videos, files
• BRING YOUR STUFF: import from MyLifeOrganized (XML), export everything as JSON whenever you like
• EVERYWHERE YOU WORK: iPhone, iPad, and Mac — with a widget and optional Face ID lock

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No account. No sign-up. No subscription, no ads, no analytics, no trackers. Your content lives on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud — we run no server and cannot read any of it. Dictation stays on your device by default, too.

DoTree is free, and it stays free.

Your plan. Your tree. Your data.

DoTree is not affiliated with MyLifeOrganized.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-12

A maintenance and polish release.

• Counted labels now use the correct singular: “1 tasks without a date” has become “1 task without a date”, everywhere in the app.
• Our privacy policy now describes voice capture as well: dictation is converted on your device by default, and switching to Apple's servers stays a deliberate choice in Settings.

We also rebuilt how DoTree presents itself on the App Store — with images that finally show what sets it apart from a to-do list.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-11

New: dictate your tasks
• Just say what needs doing. DoTree turns speech into text right on your device and proposes a ready-made outline with dates and effort, which you can review and edit before anything is created.

Improvements
• A project's progress now counts only what can actually be completed — folders, ideas and hidden entries stay out of it.
• Folders are pure structure. Dates belong to projects and tasks, and are inherited from there.
• Projects that start later no longer show a progress bar.
• “Move to” now offers only folders and projects as destinations.
• The last row of a selection can be reached again.

Fixed
• On Mac, folders and tasks were missing even though syncing reported success. DoTree now detects an incomplete state on its own and can rebuild it under “Settings › Completeness”.
• The idea store and inbox could show different contents on different devices.
• On Mac the app still carried its old name “TaskCompass”.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-17

New: Ideas — a dedicated place for things that aren’t projects yet. Collect them without dates or pressure in their own folders, organize by drag & drop, and turn an idea into a real task with a single tap. Plus many refinements.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-14

Our first big update — lots of polish from everyday use:

• EISENHOWER MATRIX: new fifth area “Indifferent” for medium/medium tasks, plus a matrix widget for your Home Screen (tap opens a sector's tasks)
• IMPORTANCE & URGENCY: sliders instead of menus — one tap is enough
• CALENDAR: tasks with a due date can be checked off right in the Apple Calendar app (in-app guide)
• OUTLINE: even indentation for folders and tasks
• SYNC: more reliable when switching between devices
• WIDGET: shows the correct state while the app lock is on
• New app icon plus many stability, speed, and accessibility improvements

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-12

• New app icon
• Eisenhower matrix: new tile design with direct access to each quadrant's tasks
• Search: "Hide completed" now also applies to search results
• Sync status indicator in the toolbar with details
• Attachments: photo, camera, and audio pickers now open reliably
• Recurrence: duplicate tasks caused by multi-device sync fixed and cleaned up automatically
• Security: app lock now covers cold start and all iPad windows; the widget is cleared when locking
• Many more stability, accessibility, and performance improvements
