Hxmy Task is a fast, private task manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac. No account to create, no ads, no tracking, and nothing to subscribe to. SPEAK IT, DON'T TYPE IT Hold the microphone and just say the task. Hxmy Task writes it down and works out the date, the time and how often it repeats — "pay the rent on the 1st of every month", "water the plants every other day", "call the dentist tomorrow afternoon". Date and time recognition runs entirely on your device and understands English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, so it keeps working with no network and no cloud account. The language you speak is yours to pick, separately from the language the app is in. OR JUST TELL SIRI "Add a task to Hxmy Task" captures it without opening the app, and Siri reads back what it understood so you know it landed. WHEN THE LIST IS TOO LONG Tap the sparkle and Hxmy Task picks the three things worth doing first, each with one short reason. It picks only from your own list and can never invent a task, and the reasons come back in whatever language your tasks are written in. On device by default. ONE PLACE FOR TODAY Today gathers everything due across every list, grouped into Overdue, Today, Tomorrow and the days after, so you never have to open each list to find out what matters. Star the few things that actually matter and they get their own view. REPEATS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE Repeat every N days, weeks, months or years. For weekly, pick exactly which weekdays. For monthly, pick which days of the month — the 1st and the 15th, or the last payday of every month. End a series never, on a date, or after a number of times. A preview shows you the next few dates before you commit. BUILT FOR REAL LISTS Colour-coded lists, subtasks, notes, drag to reorder, drag between lists, three sort modes per list, and search across everything. Completed work collapses out of the way instead of cluttering the list. Anything you delete waits 30 days in the Trash, so a slip of the thumb is never final. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device by default. Turn on iCloud sync and your tasks travel through your own iCloud account — a private database only you can read. There is no server of ours in the middle, and no account for us to hold. Share a single list with a partner or a colleague when you want to; keep everything else to yourself. Changed your mind? Move a list back to this device and its copy in iCloud goes away — without deleting a single task. WORKS WITH THE REST OF THE SYSTEM Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — tick a task straight from the widget without opening the app. Optional mirroring to Apple Calendar so tasks with a date show up alongside your events. Optional App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. TAKE IT WITH YOU Export a complete, readable JSON backup at any time, and import it back on any device. Coming from Google Tasks? Import a Google Takeout file directly, including repeating tasks. MADE TO BE USABLE Five colour themes and twelve list colours. Full Dynamic Type support up to the largest accessibility sizes. VoiceOver labels on every control. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean — and you can switch the app's language without changing the whole device. NO STRINGS No account. No ads. No analytics. No third-party SDKs of any kind. Buy it once — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
