About

Task&Log

Features
Read full description

Task&Log closes the loop between what you planned and what actually happened. PLAN → DO → LOG → REVIEW • PLAN: Create tasks with categories, priorities, alarms, and daily/weekly/monthly/yearly repeat rules. • DO: Check them off as you go. Progress stays clear. • LOG: Swipe right on any completed task to instantly turn it into a journal entry. Title, project, notes — everything carries over automatically. • REVIEW: Insights shows planned vs. completed activity, mood trends, and project progress over time. Every task leaves a trace. Every log can be traced back to its original task (or stand alone as a free-form entry). Nothing slips through the cracks. KEY FEATURES • Tasks with priority, category, alarms, and recurring schedules • One-swipe Task → Log conversion with full data carry-over • Logs with mood, category, project tagging, and free-form notes • Projects with custom colors and icons to group long-running work • Timeline view to see what's coming up by month • Insights — daily calendars, monthly charts, yearly review, project progress • Private iCloud sync via CloudKit • Local notification reminders before tasks start • Two-step soft-delete with restore for tasks and logs • Light and dark mode WHO IT'S FOR • Students who plan study sessions and want to record what they actually learned • Professionals tracking projects from intent to outcome • Anyone running habits, routines, or long-running goals • Journalers who want their reflections grounded in real activity PRIVACY FIRST Task&Log does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Your tasks, logs, and projects stay on your device and (optionally) in your private iCloud account. No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. PRICING 7-day free trial. After that, a single one-time purchase of $9.99 unlocks the full app forever. No subscription, no recurring charge.
