About

TaskSlayer

It's not a to-do list. It's a hunt list. In TaskSlayer, every task is a monster. Add a task and a cute-but-menacing creature appears on your list. Finish the task and you slay it — explosion, haptics, sound. Clear everything and the boss of the day falls. But beware: keep a task waiting and its monster grows. First it gets restless, then it gets FURIOUS. Your backlog doesn't pressure you — your monsters do. ULTRA-FAST ENTRY • Adding a task takes 2 seconds: type, spawn, done • No complex projects or tags — Today, Tomorrow, Someday. That's it. • Give a Someday task a date and it joins the hunt automatically on that day • Add a time and we'll remind you 10 minutes before HUNTER RANKS Keep your streak alive and climb: from Rookie to Scout, Headhunter to Immortal. One missed day won't break your streak — you get one free pass per week. Miss two in a row though... brace for the night raid. BOSS OF THE DAY Clear your list, topple the boss, grow your streak. Every monster you slay is recorded in your hunt log. SMART NOTIFICATIONS A morning digest with your tasks by name, an evening nudge for what's left. At most 2 automatic notifications a day — promise. Timed tasks also get right-on-time reminders. TASKSLAYER PRO (optional) The entire core experience is free and always will be. Pro is cosmetics only: monster themes (cyberpunk, fantasy, retro-pixel), boss variants, Bestiary+ stats and alternate app icons. Pro is offered as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://burakaltun.tr/taskslayer/terms
