Tida is a task app built on one idea: put things in buckets, and the list stops being a wall. Capture whatever's on your mind into Inbox. Sort it into a bucket when you know where it belongs. Nest subtasks as deep as the job actually goes. Anything with a date shows up in Upcoming, in order, so you can see the week without hunting for it. That's the whole app. No projects inside workspaces inside teams. BUILT FOR IPAD Three panels on one screen: your buckets on the left, the bucket you open beside them, and the task you're working on in a third panel, without anything sliding away. Drag the dividers to the widths you like and they stay that way. On a narrower iPad there are two panels, and the task you open rises from the bottom as a band. Drag it taller when you want the detail and push it back down when you don't. Press and hold a bucket for a quick look inside without leaving where you are. Drag a task onto a bucket in the first panel to move it there. Paste an indented list and it arrives as a task with its subtasks. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE • Inbox, Upcoming and a bucket of your own • Subtasks, nested as deep as you need • Upcoming, month and week views • Home screen widgets in three sizes • Reminders at the time you set • An app icon badge you can configure — choose what counts • Six themes, light and dark, cream or grey • Add tasks with Siri • Export everything to a file, any time WHAT PREMIUM ADDS $2.99 a month, with 7 days free. • Unlimited buckets — go beyond your Inbox and one free bucket • Calendar sync — your Apple, Google and subscribed ICS calendars, shown beside your tasks in Upcoming • Sync across devices — your buckets on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, kept in step through your own iCloud • iCloud backups — save a moment you can come back to before a big change, and restore it later YOUR TASKS ARE YOURS There is no Tida account and no Tida server. We never see your tasks. On the free plan everything stays on your device. With Premium it syncs through your own iCloud, held by Apple under your Apple ID — not by us. We have no way to read any of it. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party tracking of any kind. Calendar access is read-only and optional. Tida never creates, edits or deletes anything in your calendar, and calendar information is never sent anywhere. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Tida Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription at $2.99, after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
