Taskland

\ Now with notifications & widgets / Taskland is a curious little to-do app where you share a world of your own with the tasks you meant to accomplish. Tasks wander from place to place as their deadlines approach. Some rise into the sky when you complete them. Others return to the earth, only to sprout again in another form. And every now and then, a little AI sprout quietly suggests what you might do next. If you don't get everything done today, there's no reason to blame yourself. Life, after all, has a peculiar habit of making demands we never anticipated—keeping the cat happy, for instance, or saving the world from giant monsters. So perhaps we should worry a little less about our unfinished tasks and simply enjoy their company as they multiply. Taskland is here for you, especially if you've never quite gotten along with to-do lists. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
