TaskBuzz is the social task manager for people who actually have to live, plan, and finish things together β€” partners, roommates, families, small teams, side-project collaborators. Build a list. Share it. Assign tasks. Talk about them in line. And when something really can't wait, hit Buzz β€” your friend's phone vibrates and lights up wherever they are. β€” WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β€” - Comments on every task. No more dropping into iMessage for "did you actually buy oat milk?" β€” the conversation lives with the task. Push notifications when someone replies. - Buzz: Tap the Buzz button on any task to shake your friend's phone with a custom vibration pattern + screen-shake animation. Rate-limited (2 buzzes per task per day) so it stays respectful. - Shared lists with smart sharing. Trusted friends are added instantly; everyone else gets an invite they can accept or decline. Co-members who aren't your friends can be added on the spot - Three views for three brains. "My Lists" for what you own, "Assigned to Others" for what you delegated, "Assigned to Me" for what's on your plate. Red dot indicators show unread comments at every level. β€” EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS β€” - Phone-number sign-in. One account per number, no passwords. - Due dates + time pickers with smart "yellow when due soon, red when overdue" coloring. - Recurring tasks: weekly, monthly, yearly β€” every 1 week, every 3 months, whatever cadence you need. - Pin a task or a whole list to the top. - Copy & paste lists in and out: every line becomes a task, every task can be copied back to chat or notes. - Progress dashboard on your Profile tab β€” total vs done, overdue, due-soon, a 7-day completion sparkline, streak counter, and a breakdown of created/delegated/on-your-plate. - GOD Mode: see your tasks, lists, and friends as one living, force-directed graph. Tap any node to drill in. - Voice intent shortcuts. "Hey Siri, add task to TaskBuzz" and you're typing into a new task. - Offline-friendly. Browse your lists when the network drops; changes sync when you're back. β€” PRIVACY FIRST β€” β€’ Phone number, task titles, descriptions, and comment content are encrypted at rest. β€’ No ads. No trackers. We do not sell your data. β€’ Contacts access is optional and used only to match numbers you search. Your contact list never leaves your device. β€’ Delete your account and all data any time, from Profile. β€” WHO IT'S FOR β€” β€’ Couples & roommates running the same household. β€’ Families coordinating school runs, groceries, weekend plans. β€’ Small teams and side-project pairs β€’ Anyone who wants a fast, social, get-out-of-the-way task list.

This Week is a calm, minimal weekly planner that keeps your tasks organized on a single page. Designed for people who want a readable, focused plan rather than a cluttered database, it gives you a clean view of the seven days in front of youβ€”without the stress. No accounts. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just warm paper, bold headers, and your week at a glance. PLAN YOUR WEEK WITH CLARITY β€’ Weekly Paper View: Organize your tasks vertically. See what is happening today, look back at the past few days, and easily plan ahead. β€’ Collapsible Days: Focus on the day you are working on. Open the active day and keep the rest of the week visible as quiet, collapsed rows. β€’ Calm Rollover: When you open the app on a new day, unfinished tasks can be rolled over to today with a single tap. No red flags, overdue alerts, or penalty-style notifications. CAPTURE TASKS FAST β€’ Natural Language Input: Type ideas quickly (e.g., "Run 9km Friday 7am weekly #health"). The app automatically parses days, times, and categories into confirmable chips. β€’ Area Organization: Separate your schedule using custom life areas (work, home, health) with distinct color dots. Search and filter by area or completion state. β€’ Flexible Reminders: Set local notifications in context without complex settings. Get a morning planner reminder or a calm evening nudge. 100% PRIVATE, LOCAL, & OFFLINE β€’ Your Data is Yours: Every task, reminder, and setting is stored locally on your device. β€’ No Network Access: This Week works entirely offline. Plan your schedule on a flight, in the subway, or in areas with poor reception. β€’ No Tracking: No analytics SDKs, no behavioral trackers, and no advertisements. Your privacy is complete. ONE SIMPLE UNLOCK Try the full experience free for 7 days. After the trial ends: β€’ The current week view, task completion, and basic list additions remain free forever. β€’ Gated features (reminders, recurrence engine, search, natural language input, and other weeks) can be unlocked with a single, one-time lifetime license. No recurring subscriptions. REQUIREMENTS β€’ Compatible with iPhone running iOS 17.0 or later. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
