Just say it. TaskFire is the to-do list that works with the new Siri. Say a task with its date and list in one sentence, and it's there. Then open the app and everything is sorted: overdue, today, and the next seven days, shared with the people you share a life with, on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. SEE WHAT MATTERS Overdue, today, tomorrow, and the next seven days, in the order it matters. Smart lists pull tasks together by due date, star, tag, or person, so the right things are always in front of you. ADD A TASK IN A TAP Type it, pick a date and a list, star it, tag it, done. Add notes, checklists, and attachments when a task needs more. NOW WITH SIRI TaskFire works with the new Siri. Say "Hey Siri, in TaskFire add call the dentist tomorrow at 3pm" and it's on your list with the date and time. Say several tasks in one sentence. Looking at an email, message, or note? "Hey Siri, add this to TaskFire." Ask Siri what's on a list and it reads it back. Ask Siri to remind you when you get somewhere, like "remind me to get toilet paper when I get to Costco." SHARE A LIST Invite family, roommates, or coworkers to a list. Assign tasks so everyone sees who's on what. TASKS AND CALENDAR TOGETHER See your tasks and your week on one screen. Connect Google Calendar for two-way sync. EVERY DETAIL A PLANNER COULD WANT - Repeating tasks, based on the due date or the day you finish - Multiple reminders per task - Location reminders that alert you when you arrive - Start and due dates and times - Notes, comments, and checklists - Email tasks straight into your TaskFire inbox - Dark mode ALWAYS IN SYNC One account on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. Your tasks are backed up to our secure cloud and follow you everywhere. TaskFire is free to use. Try Premium free for 14 days, then keep the basic app free or subscribe monthly or yearly. Siri features require an iPhone with Apple Intelligence running iOS 27 with the new Siri turned on. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Pocket Lists is a beautifully designed to-do list app for making checklists, focusing on important tasks, sharing & collaborating on to-do lists and tasks with friends and family. The app excels as both an everyday personal to-do list organizer with sophisticated reminder functionality, and as a family collaboration app for groceries, travel packing, Christmas lists, gift ideas, vacation planning, and more. You’ll love Pocket Lists for being powerful yet surprisingly easy to use. The app’s feature set makes it a superb replacement for most checklist and to-do list apps, including the stock Reminders app: • Sync your to-do lists across all your devices for free. • Share to-do lists and collaborate on tasks with friends, family, and teammates. Sharing a list is as easy as sending a link. • Personalize your to-do lists with a variety of beautiful icons and cover images for all sorts of things. 400+ awesome colorful icons included! • To-do Stream: a dynamic to-do list (filter) that collects to-dos among all your checklists, and displays them in the priority & due order, allowing you to focus on what’s important right now. • All types of to-do reminders: due date, due time, repeating, and location-based — drop pin anywhere on a map, select either “arrive to” or “leave from”, and even define a location radius. • Set due reminders by typing naturally: “Meeting tomorrow morning”, “Car service Saturday 7pm”, “Prepare Christmas gift list on dec 20 every year”, “Cinema Friday night” and so on. The app automatically understands due date from your input, and sets a reminder. • Calendar view: rotate your iPhone into landscape mode to see all your scheduled to-dos in a monthly calendar layout. • Import to-dos and events from stock Reminders and Calendar apps. • And a lot more: — Priorities & Notes for to-do items, — To-do item search, — Quick inline to-do add, — Support for #hashtags, — Dark Mode, — Archiving feature for hiding certain checklists, — Copy & Paste add of multiple to-dos at a time, — Send checklists via email, — Duplicate and re-use checklists when needed, — Use dividers to visually group to-dos within big checklists. Plus an awesome bundle of premium features available as an optional auto-renewable in-app subscription or a one-time purchase: + Web App that allows you to work with your checklists using any desktop computer, + Subtasks: easily divide big tasks into smaller to-dos, + Superpriorities (+3 priority levels): mark particular to-dos as urgent, critical, or not important, + Private lists: lock particular to-do lists with passcodes and unlock with Touch ID or Face ID, + Custom repeat controls: set to-do repeat intervals and frequencies flexibly, + Apple Watch app: use Pocket Lists on your wrist without even taking an iPhone out of a pocket, + Custom icons for to-do lists, + File attachments: attach files and photos to any to-do items, + Per-list and per-priority sound alert customization.
