TaskLeef is task management that meets you where you work โ€” whether that's your phone, your terminal, or your AI coding assistant. Capture tasks with natural language, organize with projects, and let smart recurring schedules keep your life on autopilot. No Gantt charts. No 47-field forms. Just a fast, focused inbox that scales with your workflow. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Create tasks with priorities, due dates, defer dates, and subtasks - Organize work into projects with expandable sections - Set recurring tasks โ€” intervals, after-completion, specific days, or combinations - Defer tasks until you're ready to deal with them - Import from Apple Reminders automatically in the background - Get smart notifications โ€” including persistent reminders every 5 minutes for tasks that can't wait - Snooze notifications (15, 30, or 60 min) or complete tasks directly from the lock screen - Quick-add tasks from anywhere in the app BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS TaskLeef is the only task manager with a full command-line interface and an MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude Code manage your tasks natively. Create, complete, and move tasks while pair-programming โ€” without leaving your editor. The iOS app syncs with your boards in real time, so tasks you create in the terminal show up on your phone instantly. SIMPLE BUT CAPABLE TaskLeef is opinionated about staying simple. The inbox is fast. The projects are clean. The notifications are smart. And when you need more โ€” Kanban boards, team collaboration, WIP limits, bidirectional GitHub and Slack integrations โ€” it's all there on taskleef.com. Free to start. No credit card required.

KanToDo turns your to-do list into a game you actually want to play. Every task you finish earns XP and coins, extends your streak, levels up your profile and unlocks achievements. Instead of a list that only ever grows, you get visible progress โ€” and a reason to come back tomorrow. A BOARD THAT ADAPTS TO YOUR DAY Three views on the same tasks, one tap apart: โ€ข Classic Kanban โ€” To-do, In Progress, Done, with drag & drop between columns โ€ข Today Focus โ€” due today, overdue and up next, so you always know where to start โ€ข Eisenhower Matrix โ€” sorted by importance and urgency for days when everything feels urgent TASKS WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED โ€ข Notes, categories, priorities and due dates โ€ข Subtasks you can add, check off and delete โ€ข Recurring tasks (daily, weekly, monthly) that automatically create the next one when you complete them โ€ข Custom XP and coin rewards per task โ€ข An archive for finished work, so your board stays clean PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE โ€ข XP bar, levels and rank titles that grow with you โ€ข Daily streaks โ€” including your all-time longest streak โ€ข Achievements for milestones like your first quest, a 7-day streak or 1,000 XP โ€ข Weekly quests that track what you actually completed this week โ€ข Weekly review with a bar per weekday, category breakdown and highlights HABITS, NOT JUST TASKS Build routines next to your to-dos. Habits can be completed once a day, keep their own streak and pay out XP and coins just like tasks. Create, edit and delete them however your week works. A REWARD SHOP FOR REAL LIFE Spend the coins you earn on rewards you define yourself โ€” a coffee break, a movie night, a new notebook, whatever motivates you. Not your thing? Hide the shop in Settings and keep the rest. MAKE IT YOURS โ€ข Light, dark or system theme โ€ข Accent colors that recolor the whole app โ€” with matching alternate app icons โ€ข Avatars that evolve with your level, or use your own photo โ€ข Your own categories with names, symbols and colors โ€ข Optional confetti and level-up moments โ€” turn them off if you prefer calm โ€ข Optional daily streak reminder so a good run doesn't end by accident YOUR DATA, ON EVERY DEVICE Switch on iCloud sync and your tasks, habits, rewards and progress stay in step across iPhone, iPad and Mac โ€” through your own private iCloud account. No sign-up, no extra account, no server of ours in between. Prefer to keep everything on one device? Leave sync off; KanToDo works fully offline either way. BUILT FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC Native SwiftUI throughout: a tab layout on iPhone, a sidebar split view on iPad and Mac, haptics where they help and nowhere they don't. STARTS WITH SOMETHING TO DO A short setup asks for your name and the categories you care about, then sets up a board with example quests, habits and rewards. Reset everything with one tap once you're ready for your own. KanToDo is free and supported by ads. A single one-time purchase removes them for good โ€” no subscription, ever. Create your first quest, finish it, and watch the XP roll in.
