Tasks - Create Live Activities lets you personalize your lock screen like never before. Display your tasks on the Lock Screen and have them always showing above notifications - and also on the Dynamic island. Change the text and background appearance, and choose to hide the tasks. Add up to 5 tasks at a time. Underline and strikethrough tasks, and keep track with a 12 hour timer - all tasks end when the timer ends. If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears. Tasks - Create Live Activities was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel.
