## What is NowThis?

Bring your tasks, calendar, and reflections together in one beautiful workspace. NowThis is the ultimate productivity companion designed for those who value both high-performance organization and absolute data ownership. Whether you prefer structuring your day with a classic list, a flexible Kanban board, or prioritizing via the Eisenhower Matrix, NowThis adapts seamlessly to your workflow.

FULL-FEATURED TASK MANAGEMENT
• Rich metadata: priority, due and start dates, Markdown notes, locations, URLs, and tags
• Infinite subtask nesting — collapsible hierarchies with visual progress rings
• Natural language quick-add — type "Call dentist tomorrow !high @health" and watch it parse in real time. The parser reads English date phrases.
• Recurring tasks: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom, rescheduled on completion
• Swipe to complete or delete, drag to indent, long-press for quick actions

MULTIPLE VIEWS FOR EVERY WORKFLOW
• Task List — classic checklist with smart sorting and filter chips
• Kanban Board — drag cards between Needs Action, In Progress, and Completed

• Journals — Markdown entries linked to tasks via the open VJOURNAL standard

SMART LISTS & FILTERS
• Built-in smart lists: Today, Upcoming, Overdue, All Tasks, Completed
• Custom filter builder with AND/OR logic across 8 fields, saved as sidebar presets
• Overdue tasks always surface in Today so nothing falls through

ROCK-SOLID SYNC
• Full CalDAV/VTODO sync with Nextcloud Tasks — standards-compliant
• Offline-first: edit hundreds of tasks offline, sync when you reconnect
• Background App Refresh keeps tasks current before you open the app
• ETag conflict detection, CTag delta checks, and automatic retry with backoff

PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY

• Sign in with Nextcloud — Login Flow v2 with 2FA/SSO support

ON YOUR WRIST
• The Apple Watch app opens to today's and overdue tasks, pushed live from your iPhone

• Browsing and complications are free. NowThis Pro — a one-time purchase, no subscription — unlocks checking tasks off and adding them by voice from the watch. Buying Pro directly supports its continued development

DEEP SYSTEM INTEGRATION
• Siri: "Add a task," "What's due today," "Show my tasks" — 8 voice commands, fully hands-free
• Home Screen widgets in three sizes with tap-to-complete checkboxes
• Spotlight Search, Shortcuts automation, and Focus Filters

### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2026-07-30*

I don’t understand why tasks I mark as completed on the phone reappear a few seconds later as not completed, and need a second attempt to properly mark them as completed. Would be great if this bug was fixed.

### 3/5 — Feels like beta

*2026-07-18*

Finally an app, that can sync to Nextcloud directly and not using the crippled iOS function. Thank you very much, I waited for that very long. Though the app still feels like a beta. Lists load endlessly until I restart the app. The tag dialog tends to close directly after opening. Tags are synced to Nextcloud correctly but not from: I don‘t see all the tags, that were already there. Looking very much forward to the next versions.

### 4/5 — Subtasks for Nextcloud

*2026-06-27*

Thanks for this app. It does nearly everything I need. There is just one small issue. When I collapse an entry it is hard not to hit the done checkbox. There should be more more space between the elements.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 26.8 — 2026-08-08

An Apple Watch app, NowThis Pro, and five new languages.
APPLE WATCH
- Today on your wrist — the watch app opens to today's and overdue tasks, pushed live from your iPhone. Tap a task to complete it; the check happens instantly on the watch and syncs back through your phone.
- Browse your lists — Smart Lists (Today, Overdue, Upcoming, All) and every list of your own, with live counts. Drill into any of them and complete tasks from there.
- Complications — a circular remaining-today count, a rectangular next task with its due time, and an inline count, for your watch face or the Smart Stack.
- Voice quick-add — dictate a task from your wrist ("buy milk tomorrow at 5pm"). It is created on your iPhone with the title and due date parsed, then synced to your server.

NOWTHIS PRO
- Buying Pro is a direct way to support its continued development.
- Browsing your tasks on Apple Watch and using the complications are free. NowThis Pro — a one-time purchase, no subscription — unlocks checking tasks off and adding them by voice from the watch.
- Restore Purchases is in Settings, for a device you have bought on before.
- NowThis has no ads and no tracking.

NOW IN GERMAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN AND DUTCH
- The whole app, the widgets, the Apple Watch app and its complications.
- A collection of tasks is now called a List everywhere — it used to be a "Task List" on some screens and a "calendar" in two sync errors. A finished task is Completed everywhere, and "Done" now means only the button that closes a sheet.
- Menus stop showing internal identifiers. Sort options, Smart Lists, filter fields and recurrence presets were displaying values stored on disk. They now show a separate label — nothing stored has changed, which is what makes translating them safe.
- Translations are made by AI as part of building the app. Nothing you write is ever sent to an AI service. The app explains this once in each language, and the explanation stays in Settings with a link to report a bad translation.

BUG FIXES
- Version numbers now say when a release was made — 26.8 is August 2026, and 26.8.1 is a fix later that month.
- "Repeat Hourly Until Completed" now stops when the task is done. Completing or deleting a task left its hourly reminder running, and there was no way to stop it short of turning off notifications for NowThis entirely.
- Saved priority filters keep working. A priority rule stored the word shown on screen, which is about to be a different word in five languages.
- Focus filters select lists instead of matching typed list names, so translating the default list names cannot break them.
- Completed tasks sync correctly on Buddhist and Japanese calendars, where the sync window check was silently failing.
- Completed tasks are hidden from the calendar's day view when "Show Completed Tasks" is off.
- Removing a second account no longer creates a second Recovered Tasks list.

Every new control ships with full VoiceOver support.

HUGE thank you to our TestFlight testers!!

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-15

A big update focused on faster entry, add by voice, rock-solid Nextcloud sync, smarter due dates, and more! — hourly nag reminders, swipeable Board lists, editable list names/colors, reorderable sidebar, clearer sync errors, and crash fixes:
Add tasks faster
- Single tap to add — Tap any blank area of a list to pop the keyboard and start typing, just like Apple Reminders. Press return to add and keep going.
- Inline quick add on every list — A text field pinned at the bottom of each list for rapid, back-to-back entry. Tap expand for priority, tags, and more.
- New tasks stay where you add them — Add a task in Today and it's due today; add it to a list and it joins that list. No more tasks vanishing into the inbox. An editable chip shows exactly what will be applied.
- Smart new-task defaults — Set an app-wide default due date (None, Today, Tomorrow, Next Week), or give each list its own default. Set a default due time too (9:00 AM by default).

Add tasks by voice
- Dictate one sentence to Siri — Say "Hey Siri, quick add to NowThis," then speak naturally: "buy milk tomorrow at 5pm." NowThis parses the title and the due date/time and reads back a confirmation.
- Understands "today," "tomorrow," "next Friday," "in 3 days," plus times like "at 5pm," "noon," and "midnight" — and the same natural-language parsing now works when you type into Quick Add.
- New Siri phrase — "Add a reminder in NowThis" alongside the existing task commands.

Reliable two-way sync with Nextcloud
- Server changes always reach your device and widget — New tasks, edits, completions, and reorders made on the server (or another device) now appear automatically without relaunching the app.
- Manual ordering truly round-trips — Drag to reorder in NowThis and it shows up in the Nextcloud Tasks web app, and vice-versa. Editing a task no longer disturbs its position.
- Subtasks sort and reorder under their parent, honoring your chosen sort with manual drag-to-reorder.
- Faster first sync — Fresh installs now sync the last 3 months of completed tasks by default (configurable); active tasks always sync regardless of age.
- Plain-language sync errors — A clear banner explains sign-in, connection, permission, and temporary server problems, with a tap to jump to Settings.

Smarter sorting & display
- Your chosen sort option and direction now stick across launches.
- Completed tasks stay at the bottom in every sort mode; new tasks appear at the top.
- Every due date shows a time slot — timed tasks show a clock time; all-day tasks read "· All day."
- All-day due dates show the correct day — fixed a timezone bug that showed the wrong day and a phantom time.
- All Day toggle in the task editor — flip a task between all-day and a specific time, preserving the chosen day.

More reminders & customization
- Hourly nag reminders — "Repeat Hourly Until Done" for tasks you can't afford to miss.
- All-day reminders fire at a configurable time of day (9:00 AM default) instead of end of day.
- Board tab: swipeable Lists mode — swipe through your lists one at a time.
- Edit list names & colors, reorder and hide sidebar sections, a global Show/Hide Completed toggle, and an Open App To startup-screen setting.
- The Repeat option is now always visible in Task Details.

Bug fixes
- The Board (Kanban) view no longer crashes when a task is deleted during sync.
- Tasks no longer vanish from Today when created there.

Every new control ships with full VoiceOver support.

HUGE thank you to our TestFlight testers!!
