TaskFlow is a to-do list and daily planner that helps you decide what to do first, and then do it. Type a task the way you would say it: "Call dentist tomorrow 3pm" sets the date and the time for you. TaskFlow sorts your open tasks into an Eisenhower Matrix, a built-in focus timer keeps you on one thing at a time, and a weekly review shows how your week went. EISENHOWER MATRIX โ€ข Your open tasks are sorted automatically into Do First, Schedule, Delegate and Eliminate, from their priority and due date โ€ข See at a glance what is urgent and what is important QUICK ADD IN PLAIN ENGLISH โ€ข Dates, times, priorities and categories are picked up from what you type: "tomorrow", "next week", "at 5pm", "high priority" โ€ข Subtasks, tags and notes for bigger tasks โ€ข Ready-made templates such as Morning Routine, Work Day and Weekly Review FOCUS TIMER โ€ข Pomodoro-style work and break sessions with durations you choose โ€ข Link a session to a task and watch your focus minutes add up PLAN YOUR DAY โ€ข Overdue, Today and Tomorrow at a glance, with a progress ring for today's plan โ€ข Calendar view and an hour-by-hour daily planner โ€ข Smart Lists: Overdue, High Priority, Due This Week, or your own filters by tag, priority and category โ€ข Smart Sort orders tasks by urgency (due date and priority) REVIEW YOUR WEEK โ€ข Weekly Review with a productivity score from 0 to 100, compared with last week โ€ข Statistics for completed tasks, focus time and habits HABITS AND NOTES โ€ข Simple daily habits with streaks and a heatmap โ€ข Color-coded quick notes with search REMINDERS โ€ข Reminders for individual tasks, plus an optional morning overview, evening summary and overdue alerts PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข Works offline, with no account and no sign-up โ€ข Your tasks stay on your device; no ads, no tracking โ€ข Export your tasks as a backup file (JSON) whenever you like TASKFLOW PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Everything above is free.

About

Heida

Features
Read full description

A life-OS task manager, built for iPhone in pure SwiftUI. Most task apps tell you what's left. Heida tells you what got done โ€” and where in your life it landed. โ—Ž TAG TASKS BY LIFE AREA Six categories ship preset โ€” Fitness, Work, Personal, Health, Finance, Learning โ€” each in its own color. Rename them, recolor them, add your own. Every task carries its area through the list, calendar, and dashboard. โ—Ž MONTHLY GOALS YOU CAN SEE Set how many tasks you want to complete in each life area each month. A ring on the dashboard fills toward that target. Flag specific tasks as monthly goals and they pin to the top. โ—Ž A DASHBOARD THAT CONFESSES Per-category completion rings. Where your effort actually went. Month-over-month delta. A 30-day sparkline per area. Plan next month before it arrives. โ—Ž RECURRING TASKS, WITHOUT THE SPAM Daily, weekly, monthly. Complete one and the next instance schedules itself โ€” same category, same priority, same goal flag. โ—Ž DATE-BASED REMINDERS + SMART NUDGES Every dated task fires a 9 AM notification on that day. Plus a randomized "nudge" rhythm you control, mixed across tasks, habits, and anchors. โ—Ž THREE LAYERS, ONE APP TODAY โ€” tasks you want to ship before the day ends. DAILY โ€” habits with streaks that compound. ANCHORS โ€” principles, mantras, lessons you want to keep in mind. โ—Ž ONE PRICE, FOREVER $7.99 once. 7-day free trial. No subscription. No ads. No data harvesting. Your tasks live in a local SwiftData database on your phone โ€” nothing leaves the device. WHY HEIDA? "Heida" is Old Norse for bright, clear. The state of mind we built this for. Heida is made by FlowStack LLC, an independent studio. One person, one app, no investors. We answer at hello@heida.app.
