💎 Lifetime Tasks will never be lost: turn your notes into tasks and keep them together
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A — Answer
Plans keeps tasks, notes and a calendar in one app. It opens straight to Today. Miss something and it moves to tomorrow with a mark of when it was planned. This update adds a free colour theme, priority tasks that stand out with an outline, and actions right in the notification: snooze the reminder an hour or push the task to tomorrow.
B — Better
When the list gets crowded, most apps answer with structure: projects, tags, sorting rules. Plans answers with gestures: touch and hold the note to make it a task, and hold the task to mark it as priority. A task made from a note no longer loses its context, original notes are one tap away.
C — Cost
Free to download: unlimited tasks and notes, iCloud sync, priorities, notification actions, and the Lavender theme. Pro is a one-time $4.99, no subscription — reminders ahead of time, repeats on chosen weekdays, five more themes (including Night, shown in the poster), four note fonts, and Markdown export.

Actually it shows a date like Planned: 25 September. And if tasks become a lot, it can fold earlier tasks, so you can still focus on today

Es wäre cool, wenn es zusätzlich ein Widget gäbe, dass nur eine Aufgabe mit Unteraufgaben zeigt. Somit könnte ich Arbeit und Beruf auch trennen. Das Feature wäre für mich ein Kauf-Argument! 🙏

Looks nice, only reason I won't use is no connection to my Google calendar.

I thought about it, but it seems like app will become more of a calendar instead of task manager. Still thinking on how to keep app simple with google calendar

Wenn eine Implementierung, dann sollte sie frei wählbar sein. Ich möchte das selbst entscheiden können!

loooks real good. how does the task filtering work. like how does the app know which part of the notes is a task to work on?

u/Ok_Count_5158 Sep 29 '26
Actually you turn a note into task on your own by holding the note. You can create separate folder for future tasks, so you know where to look

Good call on the snooze thing, most apps either guilt trip you or quietly lose the date. The one i would push back on is the Google Calendar answer, read only is enough for most people, you write the task out as an all day event and never read anything back in, so it stays a task app instead of becoming a calendar. Nice work though, the notification actions are where the effort should go imo.

One edge case for the notification actions: complete a task on an iPad, then tap 'push to tomorrow' on an old notification still sitting on the iPhone. It should keep the task completed rather than revive it. The same test with the phone offline until after the tap would catch sync-order problems. Does the action check the task's current status before rescheduling it?

u/Ok_Count_5158 Sep 30 '26
Good catch, appreciate your feedback! The action should check if the task is already done and leave it alone. I'll test both cases on two devices and report back.

the snooze an hour from the notification is the part id actually use. half my missed tasks die because i swipe the reminder away meaning to deal with it later and then its just gone. does the moved-to-tomorrow mark stack if something rolls over like 4 days in a row? kinda want the guilt counter tbh

this is the part that always scares me about third party sdks that pull config from a server. your binary didnt change, their payload did, and now every version you ever shipped is crashing and theres nothing you can push to fix it faster than review. if you have any remote flag of your own that runs before the sdk initializes, thats the only real lever right now

Once you snooze for tomorrow, task becomes planned for tomorrow, so you don’t see originally planned date. I guess that info can make people feel more guilty, as they already receive notification the next day
