Plan your day with the reminders and calendars you already use. GoodTask builds on Apple Reminders and Calendar, bringing your to-do lists, schedule and projects together. "a masterful blend of power-user task management features and the inherent simplicity of Reminders." - Federico Viticci, MacStories, on GoodTask for iOS (2018) Start with a simple checklist. Add Smart Lists, flexible views and Quick Actions as your needs grow. Use iCloud to keep your reminders and calendar events in sync across devices. PLAN A DAY THAT WORKS Choose what to work on in Today Page without changing your tasks' due dates. See your calendar events alongside your plan, then use Next Page to focus on one task or subtask at a time. Set a focus timer and look back on completed work and daily notes in Reports. FIND WHAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION Create Smart Lists that bring together tasks from different lists. Filter by dates, priorities, tags and more to see what matters now: overdue work, errands or the next steps in a project. Update a task wherever you find it, and the change stays with the original reminder. SEE YOUR WORK YOUR WAY Switch between list, day, week and month views. Organize tasks in kanban-style boards by date, priority, list or tag. Use Matrix View to compare priorities in four customizable quadrants, or Project View to follow tasks and events across dates. SPEND LESS TIME ORGANIZING Capture tasks with presets and text snippets. Customize Quick Actions to reschedule work, change priorities, move tasks between lists or add tags. Make changes to several tasks at once with bulk actions. SIMPLIFY RECURRING WORK Break tasks into subtasks, set flexible repeating schedules and save reusable Templates for routines such as a weekly review or packing for a trip. KEEP YOUR PLAN CLOSE Personalize colors, fonts and task displays. On iPhone and iPad, use widgets to keep your lists in sight. On supported iPhones, follow a focus session with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. The Apple Watch companion lets you check tasks and add new ones from your wrist when used with an iPhone.

ShiftCount
Read full descriptionHide full description
ShiftCount is a private, offline ledger for hourly and shift workers. Log your shifts, see the gross pay you expect from your own pay rules, and compare it with what you actually received. Nights, weekends, overtime and shifts that cross midnight make pay hard to check. ShiftCount keeps an independent record on your phone, shows how every estimate was worked out, and flags what changed. LOG SHIFTS FAST • Month and day views with quick add • Multiple shifts a day and overnight shifts • Confirm scheduled times against the hours you actually worked • Unpaid breaks, duplicate warnings and a repeating rota cycle • Reusable day and night templates ESTIMATE YOUR GROSS PAY • Your base hourly rate • Up to three time or day premiums, such as nights or weekends • A weekly overtime threshold • A line-by-line breakdown of how every total was reached CHECK EACH PAY PERIOD • Expected gross for weekly, fortnightly or monthly cycles • Enter the gross amount you received and see the difference • Period history with saved calculation versions • See exactly which lines changed between versions KEEP YOUR RECORD • Note where each pay rule came from: contract, policy, payslip or your own assumption • Export a one-period PDF with optional redaction • Machine-readable record export • JSON backup and restore PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up • Your shifts and pay stay on your device • Works fully offline • Optional crash reports, which you can turn off in Settings ShiftCount shows estimates based on the rules and times you enter. It is not payroll software or legal or financial advice, and it does not decide what an employer owes you.
