What you don't finish today is waiting on tomorrow's list.

Unfinished tasks carry forward on their own, and the Today list shows no overdue badge. Free to download, with 7 days of Pro on every new install and no card needed.

Type a task the way you'd say it and Taskful Day picks out the date, time, and priority. With Pro, see the day as a 24-hour clock, a river of time, or a map, block out the week on a grid, and keep it all in front of you with 21 Home Screen widgets.

Leftovers move on by themselves
When you open Taskful Day on a new day, yesterday's unfinished tasks are already on today's list. The original date is kept for your Analytics, and the Today list shows no overdue badge. One switch in Settings turns it off.
Capture it the way you think it
Type "dentist tomorrow 3pm high priority" and the date, time, and priority land in their fields. The keyword rules understand 8 languages. Speak a task on iPhone or iPad, ask Siri, tap the Control Center button, or dictate on your watch.
See the day, then plan the week
With Pro, the Day Clock lays your tasks around a 24-hour dial, Energy River draws the day as a flowing timeline, and Day Map shows where the day is crowded. The Schedule grid lets you drag tasks across a week of hours, with your Apple Calendar events shown beside them.
Private by design
There's no account and no Lagerland server. The app carries no analytics or third-party SDKs. Your tasks stay on the device unless you turn on iCloud Sync, which uses your own private iCloud.

Is Taskful Day right for you?

You'll love Taskful Day if…
  • Unfinished lists leave you feeling behind, and you want leftover tasks to move to today without a red overdue pile
  • You plan around time and like to see the day as a clock or a timeline, or to block out the week on a grid
  • You capture on the go: a typed sentence, your voice, Siri, Control Center, or your Apple Watch
  • You plan at your Mac and check the day on your iPhone, iPad, or watch
  • You want your planner on the Home Screen, not buried in an app
  • You'd rather not create an account, and you want your tasks on your device or in your own iCloud
Taskful Day may not be for you if…
  • You manage team projects and need shared lists with assignees
  • You run a GTD system built on tags, contexts, and nested projects
  • You want Kanban boards, Gantt charts, or dependency graphs
  • You need two-way sync with Apple Calendar or Reminders (Taskful Day shows Calendar events read-only and imports Reminders one way)
  • You need Android or a web app

What you can do

Natural-language capture
Type it like you'd say it, and Taskful Day finds the date, time, and priority while keeping the title clean. Keyword rules cover English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, and Finnish. Voice capture on iPhone and iPad shows you the parsed task before it's saved.
Carry forward
Unfinished tasks move to today automatically, on by default, with a switch in Settings and a per-task toggle. Batch "Move to Today" and a five-second Undo cover the rest.
Day Clock, Energy River, and Day Map
Three Pro views of the same day: a 24-hour dial with a Now hand, a flowing timeline with a full-screen landscape view on iPhone, and a map in Regions, Heatmap, or Day-part mode.
Schedule week grid
With Pro, time-block your week on a 7-day grid. Drag a task to move it, and each block's height follows its duration. Apple Calendar events can sit beside your tasks, read-only, and overlaps are flagged.
Focus Mode
One task on screen, its checklist steps, and related tasks orbiting around it. Pro adds the timer and a Live Activity on iPhone, with +5 min and End buttons on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
21 Home Screen widgets
Next Task, Today's Tasks, Now & Next, From Earlier, Year in Squares, Month, Hours, and more, with Pro. Tick tasks off or carry them forward right from the widget. Six kinds fill a whole page on iOS 27, and eight come in extra-large on iPad. The three Lock Screen widgets are free.
Apple Watch
See Now, Today, and Tomorrow, swipe to complete or snooze, and dictate a new task with the same parser as the phone. The watch app needs the iPhone app installed. Pro adds Inbox triage, the workspace switcher, and two more complications.
iPad and Mac
On iPad, a three-zone layout with a sidebar, a month calendar, and multiple windows. On the Mac, a toolbar, menus, keyboard shortcuts like ⌘N for a new task, right-click menus, and widgets on the desktop. Voice capture is iPhone and iPad only.

The method behind every insight.

Taskful Day plans one day at a time and moves whatever is left to the next one. This is how a day moves through it.

  1. 01

    Capture it in one line

    Type a sentence in the Add a task bar and Taskful Day picks out the date, time, priority, and category. Write "Groceries: milk, eggs, bread" and you get a checklist. For a thought you can't place yet, use the Inbox: it needs no fields, and you pick Today, Tomorrow, or Later when you're ready.

  2. 02

    Shape today

    Add a duration, a category, notes, a repeat rule, or a reminder when you want one. Group the Today list by time of day or by category, and drag pending tasks into the order you'll do them.

  3. 03

    See how the day fits (Pro)

    Swipe from the list to the Day Clock, Energy River, or Day Map. Energy River estimates the shape of your day from the tasks you scheduled; it doesn't measure your body. For the week ahead, the Schedule grid lets you move tasks between hours and days.

  4. 04

    Work on one thing

    Open any task in Focus Mode to see it on its own, with its checklist steps and a few related tasks around it. With Pro, start a 10, 25, or 45 minute timer, or set your own between 5 and 120 minutes. On iPhone, follow it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

  5. 05

    Note how the day felt

    In the Journal, pick Great, Good, Neutral, or Stressed and add a note if you like. The entry sits next to a summary of what you completed, what's still pending, and your focus time.

  6. 06

    Let the rest carry forward

    Anything unfinished moves to today the next time you open the app. Recurring tasks keep their rhythm when they carry over. You can also carry tasks forward by hand from a past day, or select several and move them at once.

  7. 07

    Look back without a verdict

    Analytics shows your completion rate, trends, and categories for the week, with longer ranges in Pro. Its footer says it plainly: "This is just a pattern, not a judgment."

How Taskful Day compares

Each row below answers a question people ask when shopping for a day planner. Streaks, Things 3, TickTick, and Structured each do something well. Taskful Day fits if you want one day at a time, leftover tasks that move forward on their own, and one app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

The day I plan on my phone is not the day I finish at my desk

FAQ

What is Taskful Day?
Taskful Day is a day planner and to-do list for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. You plan one day at a time, unfinished tasks carry forward to the next day on their own, and you can add tasks by typing a sentence, speaking, asking Siri, or using your watch. Pro adds visual day views, a time-block week grid, a focus timer, 21 Home Screen widgets, and iCloud sync.
Is Taskful Day available on Mac?
Yes. Taskful Day runs on Mac with macOS 14 or later, with its own toolbar, menus, keyboard shortcuts, right-click menus, multiple windows, and desktop widgets. Voice capture and Lock Screen widgets stay on iPhone and iPad, and the focus Live Activity on iPhone. With Pro, iCloud Sync keeps your Mac and your other devices on the same plan.
Is the Mac version a separate purchase?
No. Taskful Day is a single App Store app that runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and it's free to download on each.
Does Taskful Day sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac?
Yes, with Pro. iCloud Sync is optional and runs through your own private iCloud, so tasks, checklists, reminders, workspaces, the Inbox, and your Journal stay in step across your devices. Taskful Day has no server of its own. Turning sync on or off takes an app restart.
Is Taskful Day good for ADHD?
Taskful Day isn't an ADHD tool or a medical product, but parts of its design may help if long lists overwhelm you. Unfinished tasks carry forward on their own, and the Today list shows no overdue badge. You can drop a thought into the Inbox and decide later when it happens. Focus Mode puts one task on screen at a time, and Pro adds a timer. The 7 free days of Pro on every new install let you try all of it first, with no card.
Does Taskful Day work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The Apple Watch app shows Now, Today, and Tomorrow, lets you complete or snooze tasks with a swipe, and captures new tasks by dictation or Scribble. It needs the iPhone app installed. Inbox triage, the workspace switcher, and the Carried Forward and Journal Streak complications are Pro; the Today complication is free.
How is Taskful Day different from other to-do apps?
Most to-do apps keep a growing backlog and mark what you missed. Taskful Day plans one day at a time, moves unfinished tasks to today automatically, and shows no overdue badge on the Today list. It also lets you see the day as a clock, a timeline, or a map, and works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch without an account.
Does Taskful Day have a focus timer?
Yes, with Pro. Focus Mode shows one task with its checklist steps, and Pro adds a timer of 10, 25, or 45 minutes, or anything from 5 to 120. On iPhone the countdown also runs as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Is Taskful Day free?
Taskful Day is free to download, and every new install gets 7 days of Pro with no card needed. After that, the free version lets you create up to 50 tasks in total, with one workspace. Pro adds unlimited tasks, iCloud Sync, the visual day views, the week grid, the focus timer, and 21 Home Screen widgets for $2.99/month, $24.99/year, or $39.99 once. Prices in USD; the App Store shows your local currency at checkout.
What happens when the 7 free days of Pro end?
Your tasks stay. Pro themes switch back to System, and the free limits apply: 50 tasks in total, one workspace, one checklist step per task, and one active check-in. The free week starts on its own when onboarding ends. It is not an App Store subscription trial, and it never asks for payment details.
Does Taskful Day track or sell my data?
No. There's no account, no ads, and no analytics or third-party SDKs, and Taskful Day has no server of its own. Your data stays on the device, or in your own private iCloud if you turn on iCloud Sync.
Can I import tasks from Apple Reminders?
Yes. Taskful Day imports your incomplete reminders once, one way, skips duplicates, and turns bullet notes into checklist steps. On the free version the first import counts toward the 50-task total and shows how many reminders wait for Pro. Pro imports everything and can import again later.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. On iPad, Taskful Day has a three-zone layout with a sidebar, a month calendar, and room for multiple windows, and eight of its widgets come in extra-large. It runs on iPadOS 17.6 or later.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Settings has Export My Data, which saves your tasks with their notes and checklist steps as a JSON file, and Delete All My Data, which erases everything.
What macOS version does Taskful Day support?
Taskful Day needs macOS 14 or later on the Mac, iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone, and iPadOS 17.6 or later on iPad. The Apple Watch app needs watchOS 10.6 or later.
