Tasks: to-dos & places

Type it like you talk, drop each thing at its time, alerts when you arrive, leave or move away, one-tap routines and a shopping list. All on your iPhone.

Jot down your tasks the way you’d say them, with nothing to set up. No accounts: everything stays on your iPhone.

Type “dinner with Carlota on Friday at 9pm” and Tasks sets the day, the time and the reminder. Type “buy bread when I get to the supermarket” and it reminds you as you arrive.

TYPE OR DICTATE, THE WAY YOU TALK One sentence is enough: the day, the time, how long it lasts and the reminders fill themselves in. Tap the microphone and say it in one go, even from the Lock Screen with the Dictate widget. “Every day at 10” turns it into a routine.

EVERYTHING AT ITS TIME Your tasks, your routines and your Google, iCloud or Outlook calendar in one schedule, with your free time in between. Hold a task and drop it at the time you want: pick how long it takes right there. Things at the same time show side by side, and your events can be moved and checked off from the Agenda. If you like, your timed tasks go to the calendar you choose. Pull the week down to open the whole month.

REMINDS YOU RIGHT THERE Arriving, leaving or moving away: “buy bread when I get to the supermarket”, “call Carlota when I leave home”, “call Miguel when I move”. Save your places by searching Maps, with your current location or by pinning them on the map, and call them whatever you like —“home”, “my flat”. Your iPhone reminds you even with the app closed.

GROCERIES, ON THE SIDE The basket is your shopping list: “bread, milk and 2 kg of rice” becomes three rows. Check them off at the store, add the usual with one tap and get a reminder when you arrive.

THIS WEEK, NOT ONE DAY “Call the bank this week”, “hand in the report by Friday”: the task shows up every day until you do it and never turns overdue too soon.

HABITS, ONE TAP AWAY What repeats —“take creatine every day”, “gym on Mondays and Thursdays”— goes apart, with its emoji and its streak. Every day they start unchecked, at the time you choose, and you check them off with one tap, even from the Lock Screen. Forgot a day? Mark it in its history.

NO NEED TO OPEN IT Today, Inbox, Routines and microphone widgets. “Hey Siri, add to Tasks” and say it in one go, even with your iPhone locked.

CHECK IT OFF FROM THE ALERT Tell it how long it lasts —“gym at 7 for an hour”— and when it ends it asks if you’re done. One tap on “Yes, done” and that’s it. Mark or snooze any reminder right from the notification.

EVERYTHING, BEFORE ADDING Tap Details and decide the day, time, duration, reminders, section, repeat and importance in a single sheet.

WHAT MATTERS, BIGGER No labels, no colors: important things just look bigger. Whatever was left undone yesterday moves to today with one tap, from the app, the widget or Siri.

DAY AND NIGHT Ivory paper by day and midnight blue by night, or let it follow your iPhone. In English and Spanish.

YOUR SAY From Settings, circle any part of the app and tell us what you’d change.
