PopTask just went universal. type a messy thought like "gym mon wed fri 6am" and it becomes a scheduled task in about 3 seconds, no pickers, no forms. on iphone + ipad you get home and lock screen widgets, a live activity + dynamic island counting down your next task, control center, and hands-free siri even in the car. on mac it lives in the menu bar (⌘⌃P). everything syncs across your devices through your own icloud, near-instant. on-device, private, 9 languages. free to start
heyy folks,
i built PopTask for myself, honestly .. i kept losing thoughts to the same annoying ritual: have a quick idea, then fill out a little form for it .. title, tap the date, tap the time, tap the repeat, set the reminder .. by the time am done i've half-forgotten why i even opened it
so i made the opposite, just to fix my own problem .. you type the mess the way you'd say it .. "mtng wth boss 2hr tmrw 3pm" or "gym mon wed fri 6am" .. and PopTask figures out the date, time, recurrence and reminder in about 3 seconds .. it'll even break a big task into steps and suggest follow-ups if you want the help .. no pickers, no forms
then something i didn't really expect happened .. i put it out there, people started using it, and telling me it finally stuck where every other app hadn't .. that meant everything to me .. PopTask went from a little fix for myself to the thing i work on full-time now
it started as a tiny mac menu bar app, one shortcut from anywhere (⌘⌃P) .. and this launch is the part am most excited about: it's now universal .. the same brain is on iphone + ipad too, with home and lock screen widgets, a live activity + dynamic island counting down your next task, control center, and hands-free siri so you can add a task even while driving .. everything syncs across your devices through your own icloud, near-instant, and one purchase covers all of them
the parts am proud of:
- it runs on-device where it can (apple intelligence on newer machines), so your tasks never touch my servers, and sync is end-to-end encrypted
- it reads real, messy input .. typos, shorthand, "nxt thrs", multiple weekdays .. in 9 languages
- it's genuinely fast .. the whole point is 3 seconds and back to what you were doing
free up to 3 active tasks .. pro unlocks unlimited (less than a coffee $)
this one's personal for me, so i'd genuinely love your brutal feedback, especially on the parsing .. throw your messiest input at it and tell me where it breaks .. am here all day replying to everything .. thank you for checking it out
