Task Compass is for you if: - Have long to-do lists - Need to choose what to work on next - Want to keep the important task on top of list - Want top task on the lock screen This isn’t for you if you need complex project hierarchies, dependencies, or time tracking. Task Compass prioritizes your tasks by asking you to compare two tasks. "Which task is more important?" The app finds and displays your top priority, in-app, in a widget, in a live activity, and in a lock screen widget. Always in sync with Apple Reminders. No new accounts. Your data lives on your phone and in your iCloud account. Terms of Use: Standard Apple Terms (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/)
