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.

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/)

Prep the day

Read full description

Prep the Day is a morning ritual for getting your day in order. Every morning, open the app and type out everything you need to do today β€” fast, messy, stream of consciousness. Don't think about order or priority. Just get it out of your head. Then the on-device AI takes over. It reads your dump, pulls out the real tasks, drops the routine "noise," and hands back a clean, prioritized list for the day. One brain dump in, one focused task list out β€” every morning. ON-DEVICE & PRIVATE β€’ All AI runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your text never leaves your iPhone or iPad. β€’ No account, no sign-in, no servers, no tracking. β€’ Works without an internet connection. WHY IT WORKS β€’ A cluttered head makes for a scattered day. Writing it down clears it. β€’ The AI does the sorting so you don't have to organize before you've even started. β€’ Five minutes in the morning saves hours of "what was I supposed to do today?" FEATURES β€’ Brain dump input β€” type everything on your mind β€’ On-device AI task extraction, powered by Apple Intelligence β€’ Noise filtering β€” trivial, routine items are dropped β€’ Priority sorting β€” the list comes back ordered β€’ Edit freely β€” add, rename, complete, and delete tasks β€’ Session history β€” every morning's prep is saved on-device β€’ English and Japanese Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. Prep the day. Then go live it.
