It's the simplest way to make doing stuff feel a little less lonely. โ THE BASICS โ - Add a task. Tap to check it off. - Each completed task = one fish - Swipe to delete. That's it. - No categories, no due dates, no priorities, no projects. โ THE CAT โ - Miso has 4 moods: Content, Peckish, Hungry, Furious - The longer you go without feeding him, the angrier he gets - Feed any task and his mood resets instantly - Tap him to pet him โ THE CLOSET โ - Feed fish over time to unlock new cats - 9 cats total, from Marmalade (100 fish) to legendary Galaxy (10,000 fish) - Switch cats anytime โ your progress carries over - No streaks, no XP, no leaderboards โ WHAT TASKKITTY IS NOT โ - Not a productivity system - Not a habit tracker with charts - Not a project manager - Not subscription-locked โ THE PROMISE โ - Free forever for the basics - Works fully offline - iCloud sync across your devices - No ads, no data sold, no spam - Built by one person who got tired of bloated to-do apps If you want a calmer way to remember the small stuff, and a tiny cat to keep you company while you do it โ TaskKitty is for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TaskKitty at none against Forward's 1. Forward's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
