About

Lumina Tasks

Features
Read full description

Lumina is a planner that fits the day around you, not the other way around. Tell Lumina what you need to do and roughly how long it'll take. It looks at your real calendar — meetings, commute, the gym — and slots the task into a gap that actually works. Move things around, and the rest reflows. AUTOSCHEDULER Drop a task in. Lumina finds the time. • Connects to the calendars on your iPhone. Never books over your existing events. • Move one task and the rest shuffle. Lumina respects priorities, deadlines, and the energy curve of your day. • Need 90 minutes of quiet? Lock a time block and Lumina defends the time and groups tasks around it. SPARKS, FLOWS & EMBERS Three lightweight kinds of recurring intention for the things you always forget to find time for. • Sparks are the fun, life-affirming things — read for 20 minutes, call a friend, take films to the camera shop. Sparks can surface in your day, with Lumina intelligently prioritising the ones you haven't done in a while. • Flows are routines that you repeat often — a morning routine, an exercise workout, a 15-minute language session. Pull Flows into your schedule when you need them. • Embers are intentions you want to stay warm — a list of films to watch, places you want to visit, friends to keep in touch with. Link your Sparks to your Embers and see them add excitement to your day. VOICE CAPTURE Catch a thought. Lumina does the rest. • Long-press the Action Button or tap a shortcut on the lock screen and just talk. • Lumina turns half-formed thoughts into structured tasks, which then slot into your day. • Transcription and voice processing always happens on-device using Apple's AI Speech framework — audio never leaves your iPhone. BUILT FOR HOW YOU USE YOUR PHONE • Widgets in every size, including Lock Screen • Action Button mapping for instant capture from anywhere on iPhone • Calendar sync (iCloud, Google, Outlook) • StandBy mode for charging on its side • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac PRIVACY FIRST Your tasks, recordings, and calendar data stay on your device or in your iCloud account where only you can see them. No tracking, no ads, and we don't have access to your data, ever! Free mode is available for life with a Pro trial available for 14 days. After the trial, a monthly or yearly subscription unlocks unlimited Sparks, Flows, and Embers, the auto-scheduler, and voice capture from anywhere. Subscriptions are managed by Apple — cancel anytime. Terms of service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
