Tasker

Tasker is a task manager and day planner built on one principle: your plans are yours. Everything lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud - there's no Tasker account to create, no server that sees your data, and no tracking. Ever. It scales from a quick checklist to running your whole week. PLAN YOUR DAY, NOT JUST A LIST - Give each task a time estimate and energy level, then let the day planner pack a realistic day within the time you actually have - and tell you what won't fit. - "Available now" shows only what you can truly start: nothing deferred, nothing blocked, nothing waiting on someone else. - Defer/start dates keep future work out of sight until it's actionable. STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING - Projects with target dates, progress rollups, and flags when something falls behind or stalls. - Daily and weekly reviews surface what's overdue, due, newly active, or stuck. - A customizable board - rename, recolor, and reorder your own columns. - Recurring tasks with habits and streaks. TASKS THAT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE - Pin a task to a place and get reminded when you arrive or leave. - "Available here" answers the only question that matters in the moment: what can I get done right now, right here? AI ASSISTANTS YOU ACTUALLY CONTROL - Delegate work to AI assistants with a clear trust ladder, spending budgets, and quiet hours. - Every action they take is a plain-sentence request you approve, with a receipt you can undo. - Bring your own AI key - it stays on your device, and nothing leaves it unless you say so. WRITE THINGS DOWN - Built-in Pages: a lightweight wiki for notes, plans, and project docs, exportable to PDF, Word, or text. - Attach files, images, audio, and video to any task. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. - Your notes can be end-to-end encrypted with a key only your devices hold. - Syncs through your private iCloud database - your data is never on our servers, because we don't have any. MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC - Native on all three, with quick capture and completion through Siri and Shortcuts. FREE, WITH NO CATCH Every feature is free. If Tasker earns a place in your day, you can leave a tip to support development - but nothing is locked behind it. Tasker is made by PurvaKalpa Studios. https://eswarvenigalla.substack.com/p/tasker-privacy-policy https://eswarvenigalla.substack.com/p/tasker-terms-of-use

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IntelliNote at none against Tasker's 1. IntelliNote also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
