Tasks - Create Live Activities lets you personalize your lock screen like never before. Display your tasks on the Lock Screen and have them always showing above notifications - and also on the Dynamic island. Change the text and background appearance, and choose to hide the tasks. 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. Tasks - Create Live Activities was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel.

MyerList is a Reminder app that provides a way to show your reminders as Live Activities. This Live Activity will be displayed on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (available on iPhone 14 Pro series or iPhone 15 series) so you won't miss it. MyerList supports multiple templates with different visual styles for Live Activity, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs: - Default: you can select an icon and provide a title and content. - Transportation: you can select an icon and set the gate, seat and location of your trip so you won't miss it. - Medication: select the medicine form, strength and interval and it will help you remember to take your medication. - Movie/Show: You can select the icon, gate, and theater location so you can quickly check out your viewing information. Or, you can create your own unique templates using the Custom Templates feature. This feature allows you to create templates tailored to your specific needs. When creating a template, you can include text, icons, or timers as content and have control over how they are displayed in the Live Activity of Dynamic Island and Lock Screen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tasks at every 2 days against MyerList's every 3 weeks. Tasks also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (54 vs 7). MyerList's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 57%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tasks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyerList sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tasks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasks has 54 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tasks's written reviews are positive against 85% of MyerList's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tasks ships an update every 2 days, MyerList every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
