Apple’sApp of the Day
Featured in
Start with a list. Groceries, a weekend away, the report due Friday. When a project needs more, add custom statuses, fields, boards and people, and the list you started with stays just as simple.
Capture
Type it the way you think.
Write “Team meeting every Monday at 4pm” and Tasks sets the date and the repeat for you. Say it to Siri, share it from Safari, or paste in a whole list.
- Natural-language dates and repeats
- Reminders when you arrive or leave a place
- Siri, Shortcuts and the Share Extension
- Paste a list to add many tasks at once
Focus
Make focused time visible.
Start a timer from any task, block distracting apps while it runs, and keep an eye on it from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island.
- A focus timer on every task
- Distracting-app blocking
- Live Activities and the Dynamic Island
- Time tracked, task by task
Together
Share a project. Bring your AI too.
Invite people straight into a project, assign tasks and talk it through in comments. Connect ChatGPT or Claude and it joins as a collaborator of its own.
- Only the owner needs Tasks Plus
- Assignments and comments
- ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP assistants
- Revoke an assistant’s access at any time
On Mac
Every stage. One glance.
Planned, active, done. Lay your work out as a board on Mac and move it forward one column at a time, with the keyboard if you like.
Every part earns its place.
Focused moments. Swipe through Tasks, screen by screen.
Natural-language capture
One sentence. A complete task.
Type the way you think. Tasks recognises the location and repeat schedule, with priority ready to set in one tap.

Scroll from Planned to Active to Completed across three clear columns, with every task in its place.

Location reminders
Remember it where it matters.
Set a task to return when you arrive at or leave a place, so the reminder appears where it can help.

Speak naturally and Siri captures the task with its location, tags, priority and dates already in place.
Explore this feature
Collaboration
Share the project, not the overhead.
Invite people straight into a project and keep everyone working from the same shared plan.
Explore this feature

Tags that organise at a glance.

Filters and Smart Lists
Filter once. Keep the view.
Narrow your tasks in seconds, then save useful filters as Smart Lists that stay ready for next time.
