WHAT IS IT? A separate to-do list for every calendar day. Keep tasks off your mind. ENCRYPTED FOR ABSOLUTE PRIVACY β€” Nobody (except you) can read your data β€” not even us. Your data is fully end-to-end encrypted, unlike most to-do apps. β€” We have no access to your cryptographic keys. They are stored only on each of your devices in the Apple Secure Enclave (a hardware feature of your device) isolated from the main processor to provide an extra layer of security. The app uses them to derive all necessary keys to encrypt and decrypt your data. β€” We use NIST P-256 elliptic curve keys and AES-256 cryptographic algorithms along with HKDF as a key derivation function for your master key. APPS (Syncs seamlessly between apps) β€” Mac - MacOS 15+ (Mac M1+) β€” iPhone - iOS 18+ β€” iPad - iOS 18+ WE ORIGINALLY BUILT IT FOR OURSELVES We write down every little task we need to do. It brings us peace of mind. Now, we’ve decided to release it for anyone to use. PRICING - 3 MONTHS FOR FREE β€” No card required. β€” Pay only if you love it β€” we give you plenty of time to decide.

NO EMAIL. NO PASSWORD. Download and get started in 10 seconds. No registration. No confirmation email. No password to forget. Zero-Friction Tasks respects your time from the very first second.
