Tasks is a flexible task manager built for Apple devices. Start with a simple to-do list, then add structure only when you need it—with projects, subtasks, tags, priorities, custom statuses, Kanban boards, collaboration, and powerful automations. Your work is rarely just “to do” or “done.” A task might be in progress, waiting, under review, or following a workflow unique to your team. Tasks lets you shape every project around the way you actually work, without overwhelming you upfront. START SIMPLE. GROW YOUR WAY. • Capture tasks quickly and organise them into folders, projects, and subtasks • Add tags, priorities, task types, notes, links, images, PDFs, and other details • Create custom statuses for any workflow • Use fixed or completion-based recurring reminders • Build Smart Lists with powerful filters across all your projects • Find tasks, comments, and project information with advanced search • Start faster with project templates and helpful tag and date suggestions SEE WORK MOVE FORWARD Turn any project into a clear visual workflow with Kanban. Move tasks between custom statuses, or let completing a task advance it naturally through your flow. From a personal checklist to a multi-stage project, you can always see what is happening and what comes next. AUTOMATE ALMOST ANYTHING With more than 50 App Intents, Tasks works deeply with Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and system automations. Create, edit, clone, search, and organise tasks and projects without opening the app. Build workflows around dates, recurring rules, locations, tags, priorities, statuses, comments, and collaborators. COLLABORATE WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD Share projects by email or public link, assign work, add comments, and keep files with the tasks they belong to. Only the person sharing a project needs Tasks Plus—collaborators can join without purchasing their own subscription. MADE FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Tasks is designed for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro, with reliable CloudKit-powered sync across your devices. • Interactive Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • A full Apple Watch app for capturing and completing tasks from your wrist • Share and Action extensions for creating tasks from other apps • Focus Filters, rich notifications, and Time Sensitive alerts • Keyboard, trackpad, drag-and-drop, and multi-window support • Native dark mode, Dynamic Type, and accessibility support • Face ID and Touch ID protection for private projects • Import from Apple Reminders and Notes • Export and import complete backups using the .tasks format • URL schemes and x-callback-url support for advanced workflows PRIVATE BY DESIGN Tasks is built with privacy in mind, with secure CloudKit-powered sync across your Apple devices.

WorkFlow ist Ihr neuer Assistent auf und neben der Baustelle: Schluss mit händischem Zusammentragen der Schweißprotokolle. Mit WorkFlow stellen wir Ihnen ab sofort einen virtuellen Verwalter Ihrer aktuellen und abgeschlossenen Baustellenprojekte an die Seite. WorkFlow vereinfacht Ihre Dokumentation und stellt diese allen Beteiligten mit Zugriffsberechtigung jederzeit online zur Verfügung. +++ SCHWEIßEN +++ Schälen, reinigen, Produkt verbauen, Barcode scannen, losschweißen - diese Schritte sind allseits bekannt. Durch App-Unterstützung beim Schweißvorgang wird das Schweißprotokoll um weitere Daten erweitert: zum einen durch GPS-Daten, die den Ort des Bauteils speichern und Bilder, um die fachgerechte Montage des Bauteils dokumentieren. +++ SYNCHRONISIEREN +++ Die WorkFlow App übermittelt alle Daten papierlos in unsere sichere WorkFlow Cloud, wo sie in Echtzeit nach Projekten sortiert, aufgearbeitet und verwahrt werden. Von hier aus sind Protokolle immer und überall abrufbar. +++ VERWALTEN +++ Zurück im Baucontainer können Sie dank WorkFlow alle Bauteile einsehen. Jede Baustelle erhält ein eigenes Projekt und wird so vollständig erfasst. Alle Protokolle, Bilder, Bauteile und weitere Produktinformationen sind zentral an einem Punkt abrufbar. WorkFlow bietet Ihnen zahlreiche Vorteile bei Ihrer Arbeit # Schluss mit dem Papierkrieg WorkFlow ersetzt handschriftlich ausgefüllte Schweißprotokolle. Das senkt den Papierverbrauch und verringert die Zettelwirtschaft auf dem Schreibtisch. # Automatisierte Protokollerstellung Dank der Bluetooth-Verbindung zwischen FRIAMAT und WorkFlow App, werden alle Schweißvorgänge digital verarbeitet. So lassen sich csv-, xls-, pdf- oder DSV-Protokolle erstellen. # Livetracking der Baustelle Die Echtzeit-Erfassung ermöglicht es, vom Baucontainer aus den Fortschritt auf der Baustelle zu verfolgen. # Rund um die Uhr Zugriff Mit WorkFlow haben Sie immer Zugriff auf Ihre Projekte und Bauteilansichten. 24 Stunden am Tag, 7 Tage die Woche. # Map-unterstützte Bauteilansicht Was liegt wo? Die GPS-Daten im Protokoll ermöglichen eine Kartenansicht, die alle Bauteile auf einen Blick zeigt. So wissen Sie immer, welche Bauteile wo liegen. # Teamwork makes the dream work Baustellen sind Teamarbeit. Verwalten Sie Ihre Mannschaft, indem Sie Mitarbeiter in Ihr Projekt einladen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WorkFlow at none against Tasks's 10. WorkFlow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Tasks's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
