About Tasker
Tasker is a task manager and day planner built on one rule: your plans are yours. Everything lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud, with no account, no server that sees your data, and no tracking.
It scales from a quick checklist to running your week. Give tasks a time estimate and an energy level, and the day planner packs a realistic day, then tells you what won't fit.
What you can do
- A day planner that fits tasks into the time you actually have
- Available now and Available here views that show only what you can start
- Projects with target dates, progress rollups and stall warnings
- Daily and weekly reviews, recurring tasks, habits and streaks
- AI assistants with a trust ladder, budgets and quiet hours; risky changes wait for your OK, every action leaves a receipt, and additions and completions undo in one tap
- Pages: a built-in wiki for notes and project docs, exportable to PDF and Word
How it’s built
- Every assistant action passes through a single policy gate before it touches your data
- Approvals appear in the app, on Apple Watch and as MCP elicitation requests; the first answer wins
- Ships task-mcp, a Model Context Protocol server, so other AI tools can work with your tasks under the same rules
- Versioned SwiftData models with CloudKit sync, where a merge never grants an assistant more power than either device gave it
- Swift 6 strict concurrency throughout
