Task Ledger vs Lilt

Task Ledger is a focused, no-frills task manager built around the Eisenhower matrix. Categorize tasks between urgent or not urgent, important or not important. This framework for prioritizing tasks is highly effective. • Syncs across your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud account • No analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking • Export everything to JSON or CSV at any time • Import from a previous backup just as easily

Lilt is a focused, no-nonsense task and habit tracker for people who want one clean place to plan their day and build daily routines — without subscriptions, accounts, ads, or social feeds. Lilt syncs between your Mac and iPhone via your private iCloud, so your data is yours and stays yours. TASKS — KANBAN, YOUR WAY Organize tasks the way you think: • Group by status (To Do / In Progress / Done) • Group by project for focused work • Group by due date for time-driven planning Drag-and-drop between columns. Set priority, due dates, and notes. Quickly add tasks from anywhere on your Mac with a global keyboard shortcut, from the menu bar, or by asking Siri. HABITS — DAILY OR MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY Build the routines that compound. Set a habit once a day or several times a day. Track streaks and see your consistency. Color-code and choose an icon for each habit so your daily list feels personal. ANALYTICS THAT ACTUALLY HELP A clear overview of your completion rate, perfect days, streaks, and per-habit heat maps. No vanity metrics, no leaderboards — just signal. ARCHIVE WITH AUTO-CLEANUP Completed tasks stay visible on the Kanban board for a week, then drop into a clean archive where you can reopen any of them. After 30 days, they're deleted automatically. Your board never becomes a graveyard. MAC-FIRST, IPHONE-READY On Mac: a menu bar app with quick task entry, a global hotkey (⌘⇧T) that pops up a capture panel from any app, and an optional Dock icon. On iPhone: a clean tabbed layout designed for one-handed use. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Ask Siri to add a task. Build your own personal shortcuts. The Create Task action is available in Shortcuts.app for automations. PRIVACY Lilt collects nothing. Your tasks and habits live in your private iCloud database — only you can read them. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. We never see your data. WHAT LILT IS NOT No team collaboration. No comments or chat. No project management bloat. No AI assistant trying to summarize your life. Lilt is a personal tool — by one person, for one person. If you want a planner that gets out of the way and lets you build a daily rhythm, give Lilt a try.
