Add up to 5 tasks at a time. Underline and strikethrough tasks, and keep track with a 12 hour timer - all tasks end when the timer ends. If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears.

Both are free to download. Taskburn sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Tasks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 54 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Taskburn's written reviews are positive against 57% of Tasks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Taskburn ships an update every 2 months, Tasks every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
