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/

Recurrence helps you manage and track everything relating to the repeating tasks in your life so you never miss a thing again. Recurrence is more than just another app that reminds you what needs to be done — it tracks what you did, too. An example: you have a pet that needs medication. Maybe it needs checkups at the vet, too. Recurrence can remind you when you need to do give it the medication it needs as well as to arrange a visit to the vet, all while tracking things from past ones — what it weighed during the last visit, which medication was prescribed, and anything else you think might be handy! By changing the way you think about reminders and repeating tasks, Recurrence becomes more than an app that reminds you to do things — it becomes the place that tracks your entire life as well. Recurrence features include: ◆ Task tracking and customizable repeats Create tasks that repeat when you need them to with customizable options including a lock that prevents a task from being checked off before it's ready. ◆ Task sharing iCloud sharing support so you can complete items with a spouse, friend, or family members. ◆ Task organization Categorize your tasks so you'll always be able to find what you're looking for. Or just search, it's up to you! ◆ Task customization Tasks can be configured to show all kinds of information including the number of occurrences, the last completion, notes, and more. ◆ Siri Shortcut support Mark tasks as completed using nothing but your voice. ◆ Full task history and notes You'll see when tasks were completed as well as notes from each completion, great for tasks that you want to keep a track of over time. ◆ Full widget support Now you can see your recurring tasks right on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. ◆ Cross-device support Your tasks follow you from iPhone to iPad to Mac and back again with seamless syncing. Recurrence is a free download with a five-task limit. Unlock unlimited tasks with Recurrence Premium — available as a monthly or annual subscription, or lifetime purchase. Premium subscriptions can be canceled at any time, but will renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the next payment is due.
