## What is TaskCat?

TaskCat is a simple to-do list you run with your thumb.

Swipe right to cross a task out. Swipe left to bring it back. Swipe right again on a crossed-out task to delete it. Tap a task to edit it, and hold its handle to drag it into a new order.

TODAY
Swipe left on any open task, from any page, to add it to Today, and see all of today's tasks together on the Today page. The app icon badge shows how many of today's tasks are still open. You can turn the badge off in Settings.

PAGES
Keep separate lists on up to 50 pages, including Today. Give each page its own name and pick its background from 30 designs. The page list shows every page with its open tasks; tap one to go there, or drag pages into the order you like. Move a task to another page from its edit screen.

IPAD
On iPad, pages sit side by side, as many as fit your window.

HANDY TOOLS
- Mark a task as urgent.
- Shake your iPhone to sort a page: urgent tasks first, then today's, then the rest, with crossed-out tasks last.
- Recycle uncrosses a page's crossed-out tasks, so you can reuse a list such as a shopping list.
- Trash deletes a page's crossed-out tasks.
- Cut, copy, paste and insert tasks while editing.
- Attach a photo to a task with the camera.
- Email a list with the Mail app.

PRIVATE PAGES
Protect any page except Today with a PIN. If you turn on Intruder Photos, TaskCat takes a front-camera photo each time someone enters a wrong PIN and shows it to you after your next unlock. Intruder Photos are off unless you turn them on.

YOUR TASKS STAY WITH YOU
No account, no ads and no tracking. TaskCat never uploads your tasks or photos. A list is emailed only when you choose to, through your Mail app. To show a red dot on the Info button when there is news, TaskCat checks a small file on boxcat.ai at most once a day; nothing about you or your tasks is sent.

A short tutorial shows you the gestures the first time you open TaskCat, and you can open it again from the ? button.

### 3/5 — Nice; 5 stars if developer can update it to stop constant freezing while using ios13

*2019-12-25*

This is perfect— just a simple easy to use app to keep track of to-do’s. Very attractive interface. Please update to correct freezing in ios13.

### 3/5 — No review - Neutral - Only way to contact developer

*2019-09-06*

Not ready to rate yet - still using it to see how it fairs. Liking it but....Couldn’t find a way to contact the developer to ask a question - so I’m using this avenue to ask(which isn’t optimal for anyone): 

Is the app limited to only seven(7) lists?? If so, that kinda blows. If not, how the heck does one add another list past the seven (7) I have now?
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Well thought out and simple to use

*2019-05-26*

This is one of the easiest to do list i have ever used. It retains the simple joy of crossing something off of your list when it is done.

### 5/5 — My go-to app

*2019-05-25*

After only one day I can see this will be my fave list app. I was using apple notes for grocery lists but it was cumbersome because my list would get buried in all my notes. In the past I used the fancy project management apps but too much work for simple stuff. TaskCat is the purrfect blend of simplicity and usefulness. It lives up to its claims!

### 4/5 — It's fine

*2019-04-26*

Could use some more features, but works fine.

### 5/5 — Pawsitivly A-mew-zing

*2019-03-28*

A good app - it’s easy to use and I like the background options. One thing you could do to improve the app is allow for push notifications so you could set up some task to serve as reminders. Overall, it is an excellent app, and I would recommend it. 😺

### 5/5 — Best Reminding App Ever!

*2018-12-08*

I dislike the basic reminder/list apps. This is so adorable and useful! I love it so much! Very easy to use too ❤️ just the best!

### 5/5 — Really Great Easy App

*2018-04-12*

The simplicity is deceiving. I’ve come to rely on this app more than I thought I would.

### 5/5 — Please update!

*2017-10-06*

I absolutely love TaskCat!!  😸
Now it needs to be updated to work with iOS 11, please fix.  😿

### 3/5 — Cute Task Lists but has minor bugs

*2016-10-24*

Very cute backgrounds and easy to use but if you edit an existing task and save it, the font gets huge and there is no way to change the font size back to normal.  I end up having to delete the task and recreate it.
