Read full description

tagTodo is a privacy-first task manager built on one idea: **everything is a tag.** There are no lists, folders, or projects to file things into. A task is just a title and a few tags — #work, #urgent, #waiting, #p1, @home, or a person's name. A task can belong to many contexts at once, so you never have to choose the "one right place" for it. You organize by **querying** the set of tasks with a tiny but powerful set-algebra language: • #today & #open — what's due today and not done • #work & #open & ~#waiting — open work you're not blocked on • (#work | #personal) & #week — this week, across contexts • #p1 & #overdue — high-priority tasks past due • #done & #week — a weekly review of what you finished Operators are simple: & (and), | (or), \ (except), ~ (not), and parentheses. Two tags side by side also mean "and". Save any query as a smart list and see its live count update as you work. AUTOMATIC TAGS Some tags are added for you and usable in any query — no typing required: #open, #done, #overdue, #today, #tomorrow, #week, #nodate, #all, plus time tags from each task's date (#2026, #JUN, #Q2, #FRIDAY, #WEEKEND, #SUMMER…). SEE THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR WORK Every query result comes with a summary (total / open / done / completion % / overdue), an area-proportional Venn diagram of its most common tags, and charts for throughput, created-vs-completed, and your open backlog over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All data stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. Export and import your tasks any time as JSON or CSV. BILINGUAL Fully available in English and Vietnamese. tagTodo Pro (optional) unlocks unlimited tags per query. A 7-day free trial is included; monthly, yearly, and lifetime options are available.

OWrite Pro brings notes, plans, habits, focus, outdoor workouts, reminders, and important dates into one calm personal space. Write down what matters, take the next small step, and make room to move. WRITE DOWN IDEAS WORTH KEEPING Use rich-text notes for journals, plans, excerpts, drafts, or unnamed thoughts. Add photos, style your text, search your content, restore deleted items from Trash, and turn a note into an image to save or share. BUILD HABITS AT YOUR OWN PACE Choose daily streaks or cumulative targets for reading, stretching, exercise, and more. Set dates, colors, icons, and reminders. Check in with one tap and review progress on the calendar. BREAK GOALS INTO SMALL STEPS Create tasks for long-term plans or everyday work. Set deadlines, reminders, tags, and colors. Divide a goal into scheduled subtasks with checklists and notes, then review progress in week, month, and timeline views. GO OUTSIDE AND MOVE Record outdoor runs, walks, hikes, and rides. Follow your route and live duration, distance, pace or speed, and calories. Pause or resume, mark splits, revisit workout details, and explore distance trends. Supported devices can show an active workout with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Routes need Location permission; Health data requires authorization, and heart-rate readings depend on a compatible device such as Apple Watch. FOCUS WITH INTENTION Create a focus goal and record sessions with an immersive timer. Review daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics. Follow a running timer through Live Activities on supported devices. As a goal nears completion, the timer becomes a countdown and your effort blooms into a mathematical flower. KEEP IMPORTANT DATES IN SIGHT Save birthdays, trips, anniversaries, launches, and other days worth anticipating. See countdowns and elapsed days, choose reminders and recurrence, add a photo or Live Photo, and display a selected date in the Home Screen widget. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY Create one-time reminders or repeat them on selected weekdays, monthly, or yearly. Add notes and images, then manage reminders in one dedicated center. ONE HOME FOR YOUR LIFE See habits, tasks, recent notes, focus goals, workouts, and important dates together. Search titles, content, and tags or filter by color. Completing habit, task, and focus goals unlocks distinctive Maurer Rose achievements. DESIGNED FOR YOU OWrite supports VoiceOver, Voice Control, accessible actions and widgets, Reduced Motion, enhanced contrast, appearance choices, and 12- or 24-hour time. Data stays on your device by default, with optional iCloud sync. Protect app content with Face ID or the device passcode. OWrite Pro offers an optional lifetime purchase and auto-renewable monthly or annual subscriptions. Upgrading unlocks all Pro features. Actual prices appear on the in-app purchase screen and App Store confirmation sheet. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Apple Account settings.
