TaskKitty is a to-do list with a hungry cat inside. Every task you complete drops a fish in the bowl. Forget about your tasks for too long, and Miso gets cranky. It's the simplest way to make doing stuff feel a little less lonely. — THE BASICS — - Add a task. Tap to check it off. - Each completed task = one fish - Swipe to delete. That's it. - No categories, no due dates, no priorities, no projects. — THE CAT — - Miso has 4 moods: Content, Peckish, Hungry, Furious - The longer you go without feeding him, the angrier he gets - Feed any task and his mood resets instantly - Tap him to pet him — THE CLOSET — - Feed fish over time to unlock new cats - 9 cats total, from Marmalade (100 fish) to legendary Galaxy (10,000 fish) - Switch cats anytime — your progress carries over - No streaks, no XP, no leaderboards — WHAT TASKKITTY IS NOT — - Not a productivity system - Not a habit tracker with charts - Not a project manager - Not subscription-locked — THE PROMISE — - Free forever for the basics - Works fully offline - iCloud sync across your devices - No ads, no data sold, no spam - Built by one person who got tired of bloated to-do apps If you want a calmer way to remember the small stuff, and a tiny cat to keep you company while you do it — TaskKitty is for you.
