99 Tasks

Read full description

I got 99 tasks, but distraction ain't one. Most task apps trap you in an infinite backlog of forgotten to-dos, complex project hierarchies, and monthly subscription taxes. 99 Tasks cuts through the noise. It gives you exactly 99 private, local-first slots for your active work β€” calls, payments, errands, follow-ups, and reminders. When your stack is full, you finish what's there before adding more. The constraint IS the superpower. What you can do in 30 seconds: β€’ Capture a task by typing β€” natural language parses categories, due dates, and slots inline β€’ Tap a row's icons to set focus, important, My Day, reminder, notes, or clear β€’ Swipe left to clear, swipe right to focus β€’ Find any task by what it means, not just the words you used β€’ Set a local reminder in one tap β€’ Plan your day with My Day β€” the app suggests overdue and due-today items for you Why 99 Tasks instead of another todo app: β€’ Exactly 99 slots. No infinite backlog. No boards. No projects. β€’ Local-first. Your tasks live on your device. Sync is optional, not required. β€’ No account. No email. No password. Open the app and start. β€’ One-time $4.99 Lifetime. No monthly subscription. Three days free to try everything. β€’ On-device semantic search β€” your task contents never leave your device. β€’ iOS home-screen widget in three sizes. Mac menu bar companion. Built for: β€’ People with too many task apps who keep starting new ones β€’ Founders, operators, freelancers, and builders who live in many apps β€’ Anyone with attention friction who benefits from a fixed visual stack β€’ Mac users who want a menu bar task companion β€’ People who want a private paid utility instead of another account-based todo app
