About

Tasks Anywhere

Features
Read full description

Tasks Anywhere is a complete to-do app for iPhone and iPad, with the features of premium task managers and probably more than you will ever need. No account, no sign-up, no server: open it, add a task, and your lists stay on your device. You don't need Vikunja to use it, but if you run your own Vikunja server, you can sync with it. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE Lists in folders, subtasks, labels, due dates, reminders, repeating tasks, a Kanban board, notes, attachments, search, undo: it all works without a server. The only two things that need one are sharing lists with other people and assigning tasks to them. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY • Lists in folders • Subtasks several levels deep; fold them away and see at a glance how many are done • Drag to reorder, or keep a list alphabetical • Labels, priorities, colors, favorites and progress • A Kanban board for any list PLAN AHEAD • Due, start and end dates; tasks that start later wait in Upcoming • Reminders and repeating tasks • Quick add: type the date and labels right into the title • Word suggestions from your own task titles, computed on your device MORE THAN A CHECKBOX • Markdown notes, comments and file attachments • Cancel a task instead of deleting it • Just-completed tasks stay in view for a moment • Search, smart lists, multi-select and undo • A support form right in the app IF YOU RUN VIKUNJA Sign in to your self-hosted Vikunja server with your username and password or an API token, and your lists appear. Keep working offline; changes sync as soon as the server is reachable again, and nothing is lost in between. Tasks you started on the device can move to your server later with one tap, with their comments, completion dates and task numbers. With a server you can also share lists with others and assign tasks to people. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Without a server, your tasks never leave your device. With one, they go to your server and nowhere else. MISSING SOMETHING? Tell us through the support form in the app. We read every message, and when a feature is missing and technically possible, we work on adding it. Vikunja is an independent open-source project (vikunja.io). Tasks Anywhere is not made or endorsed by its authors.
