DunCrux is a task manager that helps you focus on what matters most. Instead of making you maintain a rigid priority list, DunCrux organizes tasks using keywords. Each keyword has an “elevation” that represents its importance. Tasks with higher-priority keywords rise toward the top automatically. -- Priorities That Adapt -- Move a task up or down to show DunCrux what matters to you. Its keyword priorities adjust over time, allowing your task list to evolve alongside your goals. -- Capture And Organize -- • Create tasks quickly • Add due dates and snooze tasks until later • Break large tasks into nested subtasks • Use @keywords in task text or add #tags • Search and filter your work • Create saved task views • Review upcoming and completed tasks -- Understand Your Workload -- Explore insights into completed tasks, open work, keyword priorities, and activity patterns. See how your workload changes and discover when you are most productive. -- Local First By Design -- DunCrux’s core task-management features work without an account. Your workspace remains available locally on your device, even when you are offline. Cloud sync is optional. Sign in when you want to keep your DunCrux workspace synchronized across supported devices. You can also export your data whenever you choose. Some advanced features require DunCrux Pro. With the free version you have unlimited tasks but are limited to 10 Keywords for tracking priorities. Additionally paying for or subscribing to DunCrux Pro unlocks saved views. Subscribing to DunCrux Pro+Synch will unlock cloud syncing across multiple devices. Spend less time deciding what to do next—and more time making meaningful progress. Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
