PenTask

PenTask is the task manager built for Apple Pencil. Write your to-dos the way ideas actually flow — by hand — and let the app take care of everything else.

Write it. Cross it off. Done. Capture tasks with a natural pencil stroke directly on the canvas. When you're finished, simply draw a strikethrough over the task or tap the checkbox — and feel a satisfying sound and haptic mark the moment.

Two ways to write Switch between full handwriting mode — where your ink strokes are saved exactly as written — and hybrid mode, where Apple's Scribble converts your handwriting into text while your notes stay as ink. Choose whichever feels right for what you're working on.

Organised without the effort Assign labels and colour-coded ink swatches to group tasks by project or context. Filter your list in the sidebar to focus on what matters right now. Add a due date with a tap and always know what's coming up.

Designed for iPad PenTask is built exclusively for iPad with a two-column layout that gives your writing room to breathe. Every interaction has been tuned for Apple Pencil — from the canvas to the colour swatches to the strikethrough gesture.

Your data, your device Everything stays on your iPad. Tasks and drawings are stored locally and optionally backed up across your devices via iCloud Key-Value storage — no account required, no server, no tracking.
