aTask is a no-friction shared task list. Make a list, invite anyone, and check things off together — in real time. Why aTask • Simple by design. Plain task titles, optional tags, no projects-within-projects. • Real-time sync. When anyone on the list checks something off, everyone sees it instantly. • See everything in one place. The Tasks view shows open items across all your lists, with search and filters. • Plan your week on the calendar. Month, week, and day views; drag tasks to reschedule; bulk-move open items from a day. • Tag what matters. Color-coded tags for the categories you actually care about. • Open by default. Anyone you invite can add and complete tasks. Owners can designate trusted tag editors. • Home screen widgets for your list or calendar at a glance. Who it's for • Anyone you share a list with — at home, at work, or anywhere in between. • Teams sharing lightweight to-dos that don't need a full project manager. • Anyone who tried Reminders, Notes, and a half-dozen task apps and wanted something simpler. Privacy • Email + password sign-in (no social tracking). • Your data is stored securely in the cloud, encrypted in transit and at rest. • No ads. No selling your information. The app uses analytics to count first opens and sessions. We do not collect advertising IDs. • Read the full policy at https://atask.anicca26.org/privacy Get started 1.
