Turn effort into rewards. ZanZan is a to-do list and habit tracker with rewards you choose. Plan your day, log reading or exercise, and earn Effort Coins using rules you set. Save up for a movie night, a coffee you love, or time for a game. Connect what you want to do with something to look forward to. You choose the activities, the coin rules, and the rewards. For example, you could earn 1 Effort Coin for reading a chapter and redeem a movie night for 20 coins. You decide what to do, how many coins to earn, and what to reward yourself with. TO-DO LIST & RECURRING TASKS Create one-time or recurring tasks for work, study, and daily life. Assign coin rewards to your tasks and earn them when you meet the rules you've set. HABIT TRACKING & ACTIVITY LOGS Log reading time, running distance, or other everyday activities. Create your own repeatable activities, add numbers, notes, and photos, and choose how each activity earns coins. CHOOSE YOUR OWN REWARDS Add a reward you'd enjoy, set its coin cost and requirements, and work toward it at your own pace. Redeem it when you have enough coins and meet the requirements, then look back through your reward history. EFFORT COINS & PROGRESS STATS Create different coin types for areas such as study, exercise, or daily life. See your balances, check where each coin came from, and follow your progress over time. FOCUS TIMER, WIDGETS & ICLOUD SYNC Start a focus timer when it's time to begin. Keep tasks and progress close with widgets. Store your data on your device, with optional iCloud sync. Start with one small task. Save up for something you want to reward yourself with. Effort Coins are for personal motivation within the app. They are not real money and cannot be exchanged for cash. You choose and arrange your own rewards; ZanZan does not provide or deliver prizes. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Tootask keeps one question answered all day: what am I supposed to be doing right now? TWO TRACKS, NO PILE-UP Timed tasks arrive on their own. When the clock hits, the task takes over your Lock Screen and your notifications — done, snooze or skip right there, and the next one steps up on its own. Everything without a time goes to the backlog and waits. Nothing nags you until you claim it. ON THE LOCK SCREEN AND THE HOME SCREEN A Live Activity carries the current task with its countdown. Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets show today's progress, what's next and your streak. You can also pin any task to the Lock Screen by hand, and style the card — background, blur, transparency, text colour. ROUTINES THAT REBUILD THEMSELVES Build a routine once — morning, shift start, closing up — and it lays out every day it should run. Three importance levels, time and importance sorting, five built-in templates to start from. CHECKLISTS THAT LEAVE A RECORD Run the same checklist several times a day. Every round stamps every item with its own time, and the record cannot be edited after the fact. Export a round to CSV when someone needs proof. CALENDAR AND REMINDERS, BOTH WAYS Send timed tasks and routines to the Calendar app, or pull your events into Today. Sync with Apple Reminders in both directions, completion included — tick it off in Reminders and it is done in Tootask too. Tootask only ever writes to a calendar and list of its own; your existing events are never touched. Both are off until you turn them on. STREAKS WITHOUT GUILT Finish one task and the day counts. A day with nothing scheduled is a rest day: it neither breaks the streak nor pads it. No penalties, no red marks, nothing to lose by taking a day off. YOUR MAC, TOO Tootask for Mac is included in the same purchase. A menu-bar bubble handles the current task without leaving the app you're in, a pinned floating window keeps it on top of everything, and the Dock badge counts what's due. iCloud keeps both ends on one list. ALSO IN THE BOX • iPad, in all four orientations • Nearby share — hand a plan or checklist to someone next to you, no account, no server • Daily review with a history calendar • Dark mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver • 11 languages • No account. No sign-up. Your tasks stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. FREE AND PRO Free covers the whole loop: 1 routine, 1 checklist template, unlimited one-off tasks, the Lock Screen, widgets, streaks, review and sync. Pro adds unlimited routines and steps, unlimited checklist templates, persistent reminders, CSV export, every widget and card style, and the Mac menu bar bubble and floating window. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Tootask Pro is available as a weekly, monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period.
