Plan tasks and review progress with the AI assistant using text, selected documents or voice input on supported devices. Changes to tasks, plans and goals require your confirmation. DynamicTask isn't just another todo list — it's a 4-layer life model that turns your tasks into a clear path forward. —— Why it's different Most todo apps ask "what are you doing today." DynamicTask asks four questions: • Dimensions — how do you frame your life? Default urgent/important matrix, or customize with "purpose vs. material goals," "health / learning / relationships / money," or any lens that fits you • Goals — what do you want to achieve? • Plans — what concrete steps lead to each goal? • Todos — what do you do today? Four layers means your tasks are no longer a chaotic pile — they're a visible path. —— Features • Designed for iOS 26 Dynamic Island: progress ring on your next todo, Pomodoro countdown — always in view on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Never tab back to the app to see what's next. • Dynamic Island-style bottom capsule navigation; long-press drag to pin or delete • Home Screen Widget: GitHub-style streak heatmap in three sizes • Pomodoro overlay: customizable focus / rest durations, live sync to Live Activity • One-tap sync with the system Reminders app • Automatic iCloud cross-device sync, zero configuration on first launch • Family Sharing supported — share Pro with up to 6 family members (Lifetime tier) • 11 languages, light / dark / auto theme, 11 accent colors plus custom hex • 800+ built-in icon library for plans and todos • Cascade-free deletion: removing a parent keeps its children alive with visual snapshots —— Membership New users can try the app free for 3 days. A membership is required to continue after the trial. Monthly, annual, and lifetime plans are available.
