Plan the day you have, and let yesterday go. Taskful Day is a calm day planner for anyone whose to-do list has started to feel like a record of what didn't get done. Unfinished tasks move to today on their own when you open the app, and the Today list has no overdue badge, so mornings start with today's plan and nothing flashing red. Write it the way you'd say it Type "dentist tomorrow at 3pm" and the task lands on the right day at the right time. Natural-language capture understands eight languages. On iPhone and iPad you can also speak a task or capture one from Control Center. Four views of one day Start with the list. Pro adds three more views of the same day: the Day Clock, the Energy River, and the Day Map. Pro also brings a time-block grid for laying out your week. The Energy River takes its shape from the tasks you've scheduled, so it shows how your plans flow through the day. Your day at a glance With Pro, 21 Home Screen widgets keep today in view, and on iOS 27 a widget can give your day a whole page. Lock Screen widgets and Control Center capture are free. Start a Focus timer with Pro and follow it in a Live Activity on iPhone. Taskful Day is on Apple Watch too, and the Watch app works together with the iPhone app. Numbers that don't judge Analytics shows the patterns in how your days go, and its score explains itself in one line: "This score reflects patterns, not performance."

About

Check It

Check It: Reusable Checklists is a tiny, privacy-first app for saved steps you can run again. Create repeatable lists, add ordered steps with optional notes, check off a list in the moment, and reset it when you need to run it again. Free users can save up to five lists. Check It Plus unlocks unlimited saved lists. Keep a password-protected copy of your lists with encrypted backup and restore through Files—available in Free. Choose where to keep the file, remember its password, and restore it when you need it. Restoring replaces the device's current lists after confirmation; it does not merge them or restore purchases. Check It is local-first: no account, no ads, no analytics, and no checklist-data backend. There is no automatic cloud sync. A backup kept only on the same phone does not protect against losing that phone. Check It Plus offers monthly and yearly subscriptions for unlimited saved lists. Existing Lifetime customers keep their verified purchase and restore rights; Lifetime is not offered to new customers. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
