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 every decision right where the work happens. The people you invite collaborate for free. Bring your AI assistant into the project too. Connect it through MCP to create and update tasks, leave comments, and track time. You choose which projects your assistant can access and what it can change. 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.

Efficiver — Efficient + Driver. Save. Drive. Live. Offline. Anytime. Anywhere. Real-time driving feedback that runs on your iPhone. No insurer dashboard. No ads. No advertising IDs. Just your drive, scored in real time, every trip. Efficiver is built for drivers who care about how they drive. The Efficiency Score measures the fuel your driving mistakes waste: hard braking, hard acceleration, idling and driving above a moderate speed. Save a session and see exactly where the orange and red markers landed — and what to do next time. WHAT YOU GET Real-time Efficiency Score A single live score that reflects how efficient your driving is, second by second. Calibrated to your vehicle on first setup. AI-narrated insights, on-device (NEW in v1.5) Your Year in Driving and Your Patterns are written by Apple Intelligence, running entirely on your iPhone. Efficiver computes every number; the AI only puts them into words. Nothing leaves your device. Part of Efficiver Pro. Trends and patterns (NEW in v1.5) Your average efficiency at a glance, patterns that always have something to tell you, and an efficiency chart you can drag across to inspect any day. Apple Watch app Start and stop drives from your wrist, glance at your live score, distance and time mid-drive, and add the complication to your watch face. Smarter savings Wallet Watch prices your driving with a physics-based power model across your entire drive history. Every drive is priced under the fuel type you drove it with, so switching vehicles never rewrites your past savings. Live stats on your Lock Screen The Live Activity shows your score, distance and mistakes updating live through the drive — on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. CarPlay support Drive with your phone in your pocket. Tap Drive on your car's screen, see your live score and distance on the head unit, tap Stop to save. Voice prompts play through your car's audio. Interactive drive map Full-screen Apple Maps view that follows you as you drive, with markers showing exactly where each acceleration or braking event happened. Year Recap A shareable card with your year's driving stats — total kilometres, average efficiency, top drives, savings. Hands-free Siri voice control "Start drive in Efficiver" starts tracking in the background; "Stop drive in Efficiver" saves and speaks your score. Smart Detection (on-device ML) Efficiver learns your engine's signature with Apple's machine-learning frameworks — entirely on-device. No cloud calls. iCloud sync Sessions and your trained model sync across your devices via your own iCloud account. Join a fleet (invite only) Drives for an employer that runs Efficiver Fleet? Enter the invite code they give you. While you are on duty, those drives are shared with your fleet; off-duty drives stay on your phone. You choose when you are on duty, and you can leave the fleet at any time. ACCESSIBILITY Built accessibility-first: • Full VoiceOver support across every screen • Dynamic Type from default through AX5 • Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, Bold Text respected • Differentiate Without Color (every marker has a shape or text label) • Lifecycle announcements (Drive started, stopped, saved) PRIVACY Your drives are recorded and scored on your iPhone. GPS waypoints are stored locally, and on-device intelligence sends nothing off the device. iCloud sync uses your private iCloud database — no shared records, no advertising IDs, no data brokers. The one exception is fleets: if you join one with an invite code, drives you record while on duty are shared with that fleet so your employer can see them. You are told this before joining and must consent. Off-duty drives — and every drive if you never join a fleet — stay on your phone. REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 26 or later. AI-narrated insights need an Apple Intelligence-capable device with the feature enabled. Apple Watch, CarPlay and iCloud optional. Save. Drive. Live. Offline. Anytime. Anywhere.
