Read full descriptionHide full description
Task(ed) — Capture it. Organize it. Done. A focused task manager that gets out of your way. Smart sections sort your tasks automatically, recurring schedules keep routines on track, and a calendar view shows what's ahead — all without an account or subscription. Natural Language Input Type or speak in plain language. "Call mom Friday at 3pm" extracts the title, date, and time. "Add taco ingredients to Groceries" generates the items and routes them to the right list. Review everything in a confirmation card with tappable chips before adding. Smart Sections Tasks sort themselves into Overdue, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, and Done. No manual triage — open the app and see what matters now. Subtasks & Inline Editing Expand any task row to see notes, check off subtasks, or add new ones inline. Return key commits and opens a fresh input for rapid entry. Daily Wins A small counter tracks tasks completed today, your current streak, and your own reward milestones. Just enough signal to keep momentum without turning your list into a chore. Recurring Tasks Daily, weekdays, weekly, biweekly, monthly, yearly, or custom rules. Set it once and the next instance appears when you complete. Calendar View Visual dots on the calendar grid show task density. Tap a day to see what's due. Overdue markers in red. All features included, no paywalls: • Unlimited tasks and lists • Subtasks with inline add • Tags for filtering and organization • Priority flags and recurrence indicators • Native Light and Dark appearance with a purple accent and list colors • Home screen widget (configurable sources) • Siri & Shortcuts integration, with task completion from cards in Shortcuts • Spotlight search across your active tasks (titles and notes) • Notifications with snooze and complete actions • Automatic iCloud backup with restore • Full JSON backup and restore • Deep linking (tasked:// URL scheme) • 8 languages supported

Clackline puts a board of turning flaps on the screens you already have. Type a few words on your iPhone and they land on the Apple TV across the room, flap by flap, each one clacking as it settles. ONE BOARD FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE Every iPhone, iPad and Apple TV on your iCloud account shows the same board. Hang it on the living-room TV, stand an iPad on the kitchen counter, or give an old iPhone a second life on a shelf. There is no hub to buy, no account to create, and nothing stored on our servers. We don't have any. POST IN A FEW TAPS • A note for whoever gets home first • A task list with a colored chip for every job • Pictures made of colored tiles, drawn with a finger or made from a photo • Hold a word and drag it anywhere on the board • Quick sends for the things you say every day, and ready-made posts for birthdays and holidays • "Post to Clackline" with Siri TIMERS THE ROOM CAN SEE Start the pasta timer and it counts on the TV, your Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and your Apple Watch at once. The last minute runs in giant digits, and the board celebrates when time is up. A BOARD WITH A DAILY RHYTHM Between posts, Clackline cycles through what you choose: the forecast, a countdown to the trip, a quote of the day. Rest hours let it sleep overnight. MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOURS Every clack is synthesized and swept across the room as the words land. Start with classic flaps or wood; with Plus, choose typewriter keys, raindrops, a music box that plays each letter as a note, or sleigh bells for December. CLACKLINE PLUS Clackline is free for one board on every screen in your home. Plus adds: • A board for every room • Live scores, headlines, your calendar and a number from your own web address • Every quote, your own family sayings, and a rotation with time-of-day rules • Posts that go up on their own, once or on a repeating schedule • Several timers at once, picture timers and finishes • The Seamless look and every sound pack • Photos kept as tile art Plus is $29.99 a year after a 14-day free trial, $3.99 a month, or $79.99 once.
