Keep your day clear and your projects moving. Tasks brings your to-dos, reminders, and shared projects together in one place. Plan a busy week, organize a trip, or take a project from first idea to finished. Start with a simple list and add the structure you need as you go. CAPTURE IT WHILE IT'S ON YOUR MIND Type “Send the report tomorrow at 3pm” and accept the suggested date and time. Tasks recognizes dates, repeats, priorities, and locations as you type. Add tasks with Siri, save something from another app, or turn an email into a task with the original message attached. SEE WHAT'S NEXT, AND WHAT'S MOVING Switch between lists and Kanban boards. Give each project its own stages, such as Planned, In Progress, and Waiting, so you can see where things stand. Break bigger tasks into subtasks, add tags and priorities, and use Smart Lists to bring the right work together across projects. KEEP THE DETAILS WITH THE TASK Add notes, links, images, PDFs, and emails so you have what you need when it's time to act. Customize each project's fields and keep conversations in comments. A task can hold the whole story, from the first brief to the final decision. MAKE TIME FOR FOCUSED WORK Start a timer on a task and see where your time goes. On iPhone and iPad, block distracting apps while you work. Follow your session from a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, the Dynamic Island. REMINDERS THAT FIT REAL LIFE Set reminders for a date, a time, or when you arrive at or leave a place. Repeat tasks on a schedule or a set time after you finish them, ideal for routines that don't always happen on the same day. Connect Apple Reminders to keep your existing lists in sync. SHARE THE WORK, KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP Plan with your partner, family, or team. Share a project, assign tasks, and use comments and @mentions to keep decisions with the work. Only the person sharing needs Tasks Plus; the people you invite can collaborate for free. You can bring your AI assistant into the project too. Connect a compatible assistant through MCP to help create and update tasks, leave comments, and track time. You choose which projects it can access and can revoke access at any time. FEEL AT HOME ON YOUR APPLE DEVICES Use Tasks on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Keep tasks close with widgets, capture ideas from your wrist, and build everyday automations with Siri and Shortcuts. Sync lets you pick up where you left off on another device. Make Tasks feel like yours with Classic, Mono, and Paper themes, your choice of heading and body fonts, and light or dark mode. Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support help you work comfortably.
