About

TaskBracket

Features
Read full description

Your to-do list walks into an arena. Only one task leaves as champion. TaskBracket is a voice-first daily prioritizer that turns "what should I do today?" into a fighting-game tournament. Brain-dump your tasks out loud — every pause becomes a task — then play through quick head-to-head matchups. Tap the winner. That's it. Because the bracket is double elimination, your picks ARE the sort: when the confetti falls, you're holding your whole day ranked, champion first. HOW IT WORKS • Speak your to-dos. On-device speech recognition splits them into tasks at every pause — no typing required, no cloud involved. • Hit FIGHT! Two tasks slam into the arena. Tap the one that matters more. • Losers get a second life in the losers bracket, so one snap judgment never buries something important. • The final standings are your day: #1 at the top, everything else in fighting order. BUILT FOR REAL DAYS • The UP NEXT tile always shows the next thing to do — check tasks off and it advances down your lineup. • Priorities changed? Crown any task to promote it straight to #1. No rematch needed. • REMATCH! re-sorts only what's left. Carry unfinished tasks to a new list, or wipe everything and start fresh. • Share your lineup — or a victory report of what you finished — to any app. SOUND OF THE ARENA Pick your audio: arcade sound effects (air horns included), a deadpan snarky commentator with over 100 lines ("The crowd goes mild."), or silence. Haptics punch either way. NO STRINGS Free. No ads. No accounts. No subscriptions. No task limits. Your tasks never leave your phone — voice capture and sorting all happen on device. One list. One champion. Go do the thing.

Verdict

The call

Dex and TaskBracket are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
