Meta Task

Features
Read full description

MetaTask is a native SwiftUI to-do app that stays laser-focused on the essentials. Instead of heavy templates or distracting badges, it helps you capture what matters—title, notes, start/finish time, and priority—then see it in a clean timeline that protects your daily flow. With a minimalist UI, one-tap checkmarks, and clear date views, MetaTask keeps you moving from “write” to “done” without friction. It supports English, German, Japanese, and Korean so your workflow travels with you. ■ Perfect for - Anyone who needs clear start/end times to anchor the day - People who prefer date-based views and a priority-first plan - Users who want a simple, ultra-responsive app even with many tasks ■ Core features • Add tasks fast: set start date, title, description, start time, end time, and priority—just the fields you need, when you need them. Edit anytime later. • All tasks view: scan everything on one screen without losing context for priority/time. • Date views: Today/Tomorrow/This Week group automatically so you can plan in a timeline that mirrors your day. • Done/Undone: flip state with a single tap; completed items are visually separated to maximize momentum and motivation. • Language switching: instantly switch the UI between English, German, Japanese, and Korean. • Native feel: the SwiftUI foundation keeps interactions light and quick, aligned with iOS patterns. ■ Built for today’s productivity trends - Minimal & focused: Short input, clear views. We trimmed repeat gestures so you only open the app when it adds value. - Time-blocking: Start/finish times place tasks directly on your day, reducing calendar/app hopping and boosting deep work. - Priority first: Clear distinctions between urgent and important tasks guide attention—and outcomes. - Localization by design: Switch language while keeping structure, so your process survives context changes. ■ Use cases Work—prepare meeting → review → draft → feedback with timed blocks. Study—“20:00–21:30” sessions with visible progress. Life—errands and workouts by date; act on the top priority first. ■ Interactions Long-press to edit, swipe to check, tap to toggle—simple gestures your hands remember. ■ Fast to start - First launch goes straight to task creation—minimal onboarding. - Reused fields keep previous values to cut typing. ■ iOS-friendly by default - System fonts and Dynamic Type keep information legible on any screen. ■ Why MetaTask? While others add features, MetaTask refines the core loop: capture → sort → complete. Swift entry, clear date/time structure, and a distraction-free check flow create more of the only metric that matters: finished work. Simplicity is not a compromise—it’s a feature. ■ Getting started 1) Tap + and name your task. 2) Add notes, start date, start/end times, and priority if needed. 3) Use date view to line up what’s due today. 4) Check it off and feel the momentum. ■ FAQ Q. Does it look like a calendar? A. MetaTask is task-first, but start/end times let you build a day-timeline that pairs naturally with your schedule. Q. Can I switch languages anytime? A. Yes—toggle English, German, Japanese, or Korean in Settings. Q. Ads? Complex sign-up? A. We minimize friction so your attention stays on the work. ■ Product principles - Write fast. Organize simply. Finish for real. - Tools that protect focus must be light. - Changing languages shouldn’t change your process. A simpler day brings better results. Set today’s priorities, define a start and a finish, and let MetaTask connect your plan to action. Lighter planning, clearer finishing—start now.

Built for clarity • Gmail thread IDs keep conversations correctly separated • Subjects stay available without dominating the screen • Exact visible recipients are shown before you send • Cleaned message text can always be reversed to the complete original • Search and filters help you find unread, starred, sent, file, and group conversations Clear old clutter safely with Bubble Sweep • Choose Promotions, Social, Updates, or Forums • Filter by age • Protect starred, important, or attachment mail • Preview the exact Gmail search and count before changing anything • Archive by default or move exact matches to recoverable Trash • Leave the Sweep screen or switch apps while work continues on supported iOS versions • Resume from a protected on-device checkpoint if iOS pauses the task • Undo completed changes Private by design Bubble processes and caches mailbox content on your iPhone. It blocks remote images, tracking pixels, scripts, forms, and active HTML by default. Bubble does not sell mailbox data or add advertising or analytics to the mail path. Disconnecting removes the selected account’s Bubble data from the device while the original mail stays in Gmail.
