Features - Manage all tasks on a single timeline. - Preset reminders and reusable reminders. - Focus on one task at a time. - Cross-timezone management, each task can set the timezone independently, and the app automatically converts. - Add notes and detailed information to the tasks. - Using widgets to track tasks effortlessly. - Quickly postpone or advance when plans change. - iCloud synchronization to ensure data security.
