DynamicTask isn't just another todo list β it's a 4-layer life model that turns your tasks into a clear path forward. ββ Why it's different Most todo apps ask "what are you doing today." DynamicTask asks four questions: β’ Dimensions β 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 β’ Goals β what do you want to achieve? β’ Plans β what concrete steps lead to each goal? β’ Todos β what do you do today? Four layers means your tasks are no longer a chaotic pile β they're a visible path. ββ All features unlocked with a membership β’ **Designed for iOS 26 Dynamic Island**: progress ring on your next todo, Pomodoro countdown β always in view on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Never tab back to the app to see what's next. β’ Dynamic Island-style bottom capsule navigation; long-press drag to pin or delete β’ Home Screen Widget: GitHub-style streak heatmap in three sizes β’ Pomodoro overlay: customizable focus / rest durations, live sync to Live Activity β’ One-tap sync with the system Reminders app β’ Automatic iCloud cross-device sync, zero configuration on first launch β’ Family Sharing supported β share Pro with up to 6 family members (Lifetime tier) β’ 11 languages, light / dark / auto theme, 11 accent colors plus custom hex β’ 800+ built-in icon library for plans and todos β’ Cascade-free deletion: removing a parent keeps its children alive with visual snapshots ββ Subscription & Lifetime β’ 7-day free trial β auto-renews monthly β’ Monthly: $2.99 / mo β’ Yearly: $14.99 / yr (~$1.25/mo, save 58%) β’ Lifetime: $39.99 (includes all future features, breaks even after ~2.7 years) See in-app Settings β Help and the privacy policy linked from the App Store page for full terms.
