Read full descriptionHide full description
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/)

Read Markdown the way it was meant to look. NexReader turns any .md file into a clean, comfortable page. Headings, tables, code, task lists and quotes are rendered natively — no web view, no clutter, nothing between you and the words. It is made for the documents you actually receive: notes, READMEs, specs, and the long answers AI tools write for you. BEAUTIFUL RENDERING • Full GitHub-Flavored Markdown: headings, bold and italic, lists, task lists, quotes, tables and links • Code blocks with syntax highlighting for 16 languages, and one-tap copy • Tables that keep their alignment and scroll sideways instead of squashing • Images you can open full screen and pinch to zoom MAKE IT YOURS • Four reading themes: Classic White, Sepia, Midnight and AMOLED Black • Four typefaces, including New York for long reads • Text size, weight, line height, letter spacing and paragraph spacing • Three reading widths, so lines never run too long on a big screen FIND YOUR WAY • An outline of every heading, with your current section marked • Find in document, with every match highlighted • Opens exactly where you left off — even after you change the text size A LIBRARY THAT STAYS TIDY • Real folders you can create, rename and rearrange • Favorites, sorting, search, and reading progress on every document • Your documents also appear in the Files app, in the same folders GET FILES IN EASILY • Import from Files, or open .md files straight from other apps • Wi‑Fi Transfer: drop files from any computer's browser onto your iPhone or iPad. No cable, no cloud, no account GREAT ON IPAD • Your library and the page side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for find, the outline, text size and moving between sections ALSO ON MAC • Open any .md file from Finder in its own window • The same library, themes and typography, with a full menu bar NO ACCOUNT NEEDED There is nothing to sign up for, and your documents stay on your device. NexReader collects no data at all: no analytics, no tracking, no ads.
