Made for iPhone Duo, with your AI assistant in a project, tasks typed in plain words, a new Settings and sturdier sync.
What’s new
Made for iPhone Duo. Folded, Tasks shows one column at a time. Unfolded, the sidebar sits beside your board and columns line up side by side, with the + button and toolbar buttons where your thumbs are. See it.
AI Assistants. Connect ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant, then add it to a project like a teammate. It can take tasks and leave comments. Set it up.
Connect an assistant shows you how to start. Each assistant you connect is listed here, like Claude and Codex.
Say a task. Tap the waveform in Create Task, speak, and Apple Intelligence fills in the title, date, tags, priority and more. See how.
Type it in plain words. Dates, repeats, priorities, places and tags are recognised as you type, in English, French, German and Spanish. Type / to pick a project.
Type a repeat, a place or a tag and Tasks fills it in as you go.
Task settings. Choose how many lines each task shows, show dates as a countdown, and pick plain or rich link previews, with a live preview. Make it yours.
Start from the defaults, then add two lines of notes, countdown dates and rich links. The preview shows the difference straight away.
Easier sharing. Invite links with roles, a join limit and an expiry, Quick add for people you already work with, re-invites and leaving a project. Share a project.
Simpler project setup. Name it, choose statuses from a template or an existing project, then pick fields. Edit any of them later from one Edit menu. Set up a project.
Timers everywhere. A cleaner Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timer, the timer in your Apple Watch Smart Stack, and a live timer in the Mac menu bar.
A new Settings. Preferences, Data & Integrations, Help & About, and Privacy & Legal, with a switch to turn analytics off.
Open .tasks files from anywhere. Tap one in Files, Mail or AirDrop and Tasks asks before importing it.
Sturdier sync. A brief sign-in hiccup no longer signs you out or drops unsynced changes, and one rejected change no longer holds up the rest.
Paste images and PDFs into any text field in a task.
Smaller touches. Clone a task with its comments, see when a task was created in View Activity, reorder subtasks, and richer Markdown with headings and inline code.
Fixes
Weeks now start on the day your device uses.
Moving several selected tasks on Mac works in one step.
Links from Shortcuts and widgets open reliably, even when Tasks was closed.
Images are no longer blurry.
Timers start on tasks created before a project had a Time Tracking field.
Logging out asks first.
Give the list room to grow.
Capture the next task in seconds. Add the workflow only when you need it.
