## What is Tasks?

Keep your day clear and your projects moving.

Tasks brings your to-dos, reminders, and shared projects together in one place. Plan a busy week, organize a trip, or take a project from first idea to finished. Start with a simple list and add the structure you need as you go.

CAPTURE IT WHILE IT'S ON YOUR MIND

Type “Send the report tomorrow at 3pm” and accept the suggested date and time. Tasks recognizes dates, repeats, priorities, and locations as you type. Add tasks with Siri, save something from another app, or turn an email into a task with the original message attached.

SEE WHAT'S NEXT, AND WHAT'S MOVING

Switch between lists and Kanban boards. Give each project its own stages, such as Planned, In Progress, and Waiting, so you can see where things stand. Break bigger tasks into subtasks, add tags and priorities, and use Smart Lists to bring the right work together across projects.

KEEP THE DETAILS WITH THE TASK

Add notes, links, images, PDFs, and emails so you have what you need when it's time to act. Customize each project's fields and keep conversations in comments. A task can hold the whole story, from the first brief to the final decision.

MAKE TIME FOR FOCUSED WORK

Start a timer on a task and see where your time goes. On iPhone and iPad, block distracting apps while you work. Follow your session from a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, the Dynamic Island.

REMINDERS THAT FIT REAL LIFE

Set reminders for a date, a time, or when you arrive at or leave a place. Repeat tasks on a schedule or a set time after you finish them, ideal for routines that don't always happen on the same day. Connect Apple Reminders to keep your existing lists in sync.

SHARE THE WORK, KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP

Plan with your partner, family, or team. Share a project, assign tasks, and use comments and @mentions to keep every decision right where the work happens. The people you invite collaborate for free.

Bring your AI assistant into the project too. Connect it through MCP to create and update tasks, leave comments, and track time. You choose which projects your assistant can access and what it can change.

FEEL AT HOME ON YOUR APPLE DEVICES

Use Tasks on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Keep tasks close with widgets, capture ideas from your wrist, and build everyday automations with Siri and Shortcuts. Sync lets you pick up where you left off on another device.

Make Tasks feel like yours with Classic, Mono, and Paper themes, your choice of heading and body fonts, and light or dark mode. Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support help you work comfortably.

START WITH YOUR NEXT TASK

Download Tasks for free. Tasks Plus adds unlimited projects, custom workflows and fields, sharing, attachments, Smart Lists, sync, and more. Choose a subscription or a lifetime purchase in the app.

### 5/5 — Probably the best to do list app

*2026-10-22*

I’ve been using Tasks for a few months now, and it’s probably the most minimal and the best to do list app out there.

### 3/5 — Buggy for a mature app

*2026-10-16, version 5.2*

I was looking for a quick way to manage tasks/to-dos from my menu bar and Tasks seemed like it would be a good fit. Just one day in and it’s not the dream tool I was hoping for. Version 5.2 (446) is surprisingly buggy for a mature app (often windows draw without controls or backgrounds for example) and setting up tasks is not as efficient as I hoped, nor is marking them done. Glad I only went with a monthly sub to unlock all the features. This is unfortunately not the task app for me.

### 5/5 — Super sleek & powerful

*2026-10-15, version 5.2*

At first I was a little confused looking at the “all” section, but switching to projects made it very clear how the app should be used, so far I’m enjoying using Tasks and think ill switch to it from my current development flow, plus general like to do’s!

### 4/5 — Updating…

*2026-10-09, version 5.1*

Tasks is really promising as a compact, flexible app for personal Kanban, which offers the advantage in being able to see the entirety of a workflow rather than one-off tasks or cycles. It is more than a simple To Do list, even compared with the most complex ones on offer.

I will reappraise the rating and update my review after more thorough testing. Tasks is on my shortlist of two which is to say it should come down to personal preferences rather than critical issues.

### 2/5 — Lifetime

*2026-10-03, version 5.1*

I have had the lifetime version for a few years. It won't restore and says none found. I'm not paying again.

### 5/5 — Très bon gestionnaire de tâches pour les adeptes de la méthode Kanban

*2026-10-03*

J’ai testé Tasks pendant une dizaine de jours, cette app a réellement beaucoup de points forts, mais la méthode Kanban ne me convient finalement pas.
Le développeur est à l’écoute et très réactif.
Pour ceux qui aiment cette méthode : foncez !

### 5/5 — Я в восторге!

*2026-10-01*

Перелопатил много приложений где есть канбан - это лучшее! Симпатичный дизайн , есть на всех Apple платформах - даже на часах и это супер удобно. Очень отзывчивый разработчик - постоянно внедряет новые функции и улучшает те что уже есть. Маст хэв однозначно!

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-09-23, version 5.1*

I finally found the last Todo and Kanban app I will ever need. Solid interface, great customization, and a really solid companion MacOS app.

### 5/5 — Sleek and simple

*2026-09-22, version 5.1*

I’ve used a few task apps over the years, but I’ve found Tasks does exactly what it’s designed to do, without any unnecessary complexities. It’s easy to use, has a sleek design and has seamless syncing between devices.

### 5/5 — Actually good

*2026-09-14, version 5.0.1*

Very good for everything
