TaskLens

TaskLens is the smart task manager that works the way your brain does — speak it, paste it, or type it, and let AI do the rest. WHETHER YOU'RE MANAGING YOUR DAY OR BUILDING NEW HABITS TaskLens handles both. Create tasks in seconds with voice or AI extraction, then build lasting habits with streak tracking and flexible schedules. One app. Full picture. AI-POWERED CREATION Paste any block of text — a message, email, meeting note, or browser article — and tap "Extract with AI." TaskLens reads it and automatically fills in the title, due date, priority, category, reminders, and more. No manual entry. No copy-pasting. Just paste and go. Or skip typing entirely: use your voice, say the task out loud, and watch it appear in your list — fully formed and ready to save. SMART REMINDERS THAT ADAPT TaskLens doesn't just ping you at a fixed time and call it a day. Its AI studies your tasks and sends motivational follow-up reminders tuned to how urgent and overdue each item is. Choose your notification intensity — Low, Moderate, or High — and TaskLens adjusts the tone and frequency to match your preference. Gentle nudges when you're ahead. Stronger pushes when you've been slipping. HABIT TRACKING Build lasting routines with built-in Habit Tracking. Set a habit, choose your schedule (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly across multiple days), add reminder times, and watch your streaks grow. Each habit tracks completions independently across every occurrence — so missing one day doesn't erase your entire progress. Stay consistent. Stay motivated. RECURRING TASKS Real life repeats. TaskLens supports daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring tasks with independent per-occurrence completion tracking. Finish Monday's task without touching Tuesday's. Every occurrence is its own standalone check-in, so you stay in full control of your schedule without tangled dependencies. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE Everything is stored locally on your device using a private SQLite database. No account required to get started. No data is ever sent to servers without your explicit permission. Your tasks, habits, and streaks stay private — always. ICLOUD SYNC When you're ready to sync across multiple Apple devices, TaskLens uses your personal iCloud database. Your data is fully isolated to your Apple ID and never visible to anyone else — not even us. Seamless sync without sacrificing privacy. CALENDAR & ANALYTICS See every task and habit at a glance on the Calendar view. Then switch to Analytics to track your completion streaks, category breakdowns, and weekly progress — and get a clear, honest picture of what's working and where to improve. Spot your patterns. Optimize your week. SIRI INTEGRATION "Hey Siri, add task to TaskLens: Call dentist tomorrow at 10am." That's all it takes. TaskLens opens directly to a pre-filled task form ready for you to review and save. No context switching. No friction. WELLNESS REMINDERS Stay hydrated with reminders calculated from your body weight and the hours between your wake and sleep times. AI-generated hydration messages keep things fresh and varied so you never tune them out. EVERYTHING ELSE 5 recurrence types: Once, Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly Multiple reminder times per task or habit Priority levels with AI-suggested urgency Custom categories alongside built-in ones (Work, Personal, Health, Shopping) Light and dark themes Backup and restore via Google Drive or iCloud Share anything from Safari or other apps directly into TaskLens Offline-first — works fully without an internet connection TaskLens Pro unlocks unlimited tasks, advanced AI features, full habit tracking, iCloud sync, and priority support.

Note-Due brings your notes and tasks together. Write a note, add tasks inside it, set due dates, and get reminded — all without switching apps. NOTES THAT DO MORE Rich text with bold, italic, highlights, checklists, and code blocks. Attach photos, scan documents, record voice memos, and embed video. Draw with Apple Pencil or your finger — handwriting can be recognised and converted to typed text. While you write or scroll, toolbars slide away so your words get the whole screen. TASKS BUILT INTO YOUR NOTES Create tasks inside any note, or add standalone tasks. Set due dates, priorities, and reminders. Quick Add understands natural language — type "call James tomorrow at 9am high priority" and Note-Due does the rest. Block tasks behind other tasks to map real dependencies. POWERFUL ORGANISATION Folders, subfolders, tags, and smart filters keep everything findable. Switch between Today, Upcoming, Overdue, All, and Inbox, and between list, agenda, calendar, and kanban layouts. Snooze tasks, pin notes, and search everything instantly. The Trash keeps deleted items until you're sure. INBOX AND FOCUS MODE Capture first, schedule later: tasks without a date land in your Inbox. When it's time to work, Focus Mode shows only today's tasks in a distraction-free view. SIRI, SHORTCUTS & SPOTLIGHT Add tasks, check what's overdue, or complete something with your voice or the Shortcuts app. Find notes and tasks from Spotlight search. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN Designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo. On iPad, see your notes list beside the open note, or open any note in its own window with Stage Manager. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Optional iCloud sync keeps your Apple devices up to date using your personal iCloud — we never see it. ——— UNLOCK NOTE-DUE PRO — $9.99 ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Apple Intelligence Extract tasks from a note, summarise long notes, and rewrite selected text in any style — all on-device. Your previous version is saved before every AI rewrite. Privacy Vault & Note Locking Hide folders behind Face ID in the Vault, lock individual notes, or require Face ID every time you open the app. Version History Every note is versioned automatically. Browse and restore any earlier draft. Power Tasks Recurring tasks (daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly), subtasks, dependencies, and Apple Calendar sync. Advanced Notifications Morning daily digest, second reminders, quiet hours, custom lead times, lock-screen snooze, and custom sounds. Export & Import Export notes as PDF or HTML, or your whole library as a Markdown ZIP. Import Markdown and text notes from Bear, Obsidian, or Apple Notes, and tasks from Apple Reminders. Projects & Time Tracking Group notes and tasks into projects with live progress and due dates. Add time estimates to tasks and track real time with a built-in timer. PDF Annotation & Tables Draw on PDF attachments with Apple Pencil, saved per page. Insert editable grid tables into any note. Smart Scheduling Smart Schedule checks your task load and suggests the least-busy day and time. Kanban Board Manage tasks across To Do, In Progress, and Done, and drag cards between columns.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Note at every 2 days against TaskLens's weekly. TaskLens's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
