Your day, kept in sight. Pin gives you a small daily list and a place to keep it close: your iPhone Lock Screen. Choose up to five tasks, pin them as a Live Activity, and cross them off as you go. FIVE THINGS, A LITTLE FOCUS Write your first task and preview it during setup. Add, edit, or delete tasks in the app. Tap to complete a task and tap again to bring it back. Completed tasks keep their place until your daily reset, or you can delete one to make room. A NOTE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Press and hold while the button background fills to pin your list. Pinning starts automatically when the fill is complete. Lift your finger early to cancel. Complete and undo tasks from the active Live Activity, including after you finish all five. On compatible iPhones, your list also appears in the Dynamic Island. Tap the pinned control in the app once to take the card off. A FRESH PAGE AT YOUR HOUR Choose when your day begins. At that hour, completed tasks clear and unfinished tasks carry over. Turn on an optional reminder to plan the day. MAKE IT YOURS Use Pin in English or Arabic, or follow your iPhone language. Write tasks in either language or both. Choose a light, dark, or system appearance. LOCAL AND SIMPLE No account, advertising, tracking, or analytics. Pin stores your tasks locally, with no app-managed cloud sync. Live Activities run for up to eight hours. After one ends, open Pin to start a fresh card for unfinished tasks. Device authentication is required to use task buttons from a locked screen. Requires iOS 26 or later.
