Tasker started with field teams

Tasker started with field teams.

Between 2018 and 2020, I built a realtime, location-based field service management tool on AWS AppSync that helped crews plan and reschedule work in the real world. Watching how a day actually shifts in the field taught me what a personal planner should feel like.

So I built Tasker. It takes that field-service thinking and puts granular control in one person’s hands: plan your projects, your day, and your routines. You tell it how much time and energy you have, and it shows what is doable right now, with a plan it builds on your device.

It is also built API ready and AI ready. The assistant can replan and reschedule your day around what actually happens, and the app is ready to connect to other systems.

Two things I care about a lot went into it:

Private by design. Everything stays on your device by default. Notes are end to end encrypted, there is no account, and no server of mine ever sees your data. The AI runs on your device, on your own Mac over Wi-Fi, or on your own cloud key. It works offline.

Native everywhere you work. iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with widgets and two-way calendar sync.

And as of this release, Tasker is completely free. Every feature, unlocked for everyone, forever. No paywalls.

Today it is live across Apple platforms. The Android version is built, but it is stuck behind Google Play’s rules for new developers: a personal account now has to recruit 12 testers and run a closed test for 14 straight days before it can even apply to publish. Gates like that fall hardest on solo and first-time developers. Android is exactly where the field teams that inspired Tasker work, so I want it out. If you are on Android and would help test it, comment or message me and I will send the link.

Tasker is the second app from PurvaKalpa Studios, and the demo for something bigger: Tasker Enterprise, tailored to your team and shaped by that field-service experience, AI ready on device or in your cloud, connected to the tools you use, with your data staying yours.

If you plan projects and days on Apple devices, I would love for you to try it. If you run a field team and want a private, tailored version, reach out.
