TasksDojo is actively developed. Browse the public Road Map to see what is planned, and send us the ideas you want most.
Getting Started
How do I create a task?
Tap the plus button or the quick-add row in Today, All Tasks, or any List. On iPhone you can also use the “Add New Task” card.
How do I edit or delete a task?
Tap a task to open the editor. Swipe a task to Flag or Delete it. Deleting a recurring task asks whether to remove just that occurrence or the whole series.
How do I mark a task complete?
Tap its completion button in the list, or mark it complete in the task editor.
How do I set a priority?
Set None, Low, Medium, High, or Critical (color-coded) in the task editor.
Can I edit several tasks at once?
Yes. In All Tasks, tap Select, choose multiple tasks, then set Date, List, or Priority for all of them and tap Apply.
Organizing with Lists and Tags
What are Lists?
Lists are how you organize tasks by area of your life. Each List has a name, icon, and color, and a pinned Inbox holds unfiled tasks. You can create as many Lists as you want.
What happens if I delete a List?
The List is removed but its tasks are kept and simply become unfiled.
How do tags work?
Type a #hashtag directly in a task’s name and it is automatically added as a tag. You can filter by tag from the bars in Today, All Tasks, Lists, Search, and Reports. Manage tags under Settings, User Preferences, New Task Defaults.
Scheduling, Reminders, and Recurring Tasks
How do I set due dates and times?
Set a task date, plus an optional due date and due time, in the task editor. A due date must fall after the task date.
How many reminders can I add?
Up to two reminders per task, using presets or a Custom date and time.
How do recurring tasks work?
Use the recurrence builder to repeat Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly, with intervals and weekday or day-of-month patterns. You can edit a single occurrence or the whole series. A task cannot have both a due date and a recurrence. Manage all series from the Recurring section at the bottom of All Tasks.
How do subtasks work?
Subtasks break a task into a checklist of smaller steps, such as a shopping list.
Notes and Attachments
Can I add notes to a task?
Yes. Every task has a Notes field for extra detail or context.
Can I attach photos, files, or audio?
Yes. Attach photos and files to a task, and record audio memos with on-device transcription. Attachments are stored in your private iCloud.
Habits
How does habit tracking work?
The Habits tab shows your habits as cards with streaks. Incomplete habits sort to the top, and you can log any past day by picking a date.
What kinds of habits can I create?
Five types: Simple (yes or no), Segment (named slots like AM and PM), Count (a tally toward a target), List (daily text entries), and Measure (a decimal value over time).
How do streaks work?
Each card shows a streak flame that turns orange at seven or more days, plus an optional seven-day trend chart.
Mantras
What are Mantras?
Mantras are a daily mindset practice. Tap Add Mantras to turn on ones from the built-in library, or Create Custom to write your own with a label, title, and passage.
How do I practice mantras?
Tap a card to mark it practiced. Practice resets each day and builds a streak. Built-in mantras can be turned off and returned to the library rather than deleted.
Focus Timer (Pomodoro)
How does the focus timer work?
The Pomodoro timer alternates focus sessions with short and long breaks (default 25, 5, and 30 minutes, four sessions per cycle), and every duration is configurable.
What else does the timer do?
It stays in sync across your devices, shows a Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown, keeps a session History, and notifies you when a session or break ends. You can also link a focus session to a task to track the time you spend on it.
Reports, Search, and Achievements
What do Reports show?
Bar charts for Daily (seven-day), Monthly (twelve-month), or Yearly (five-year) periods, covering Tasks, Habits, and Mantras, with List and Tag filters.
How does Search work?
Search finds tasks by name or notes, and you can narrow results by status, recurring, List, and Tag filters.
What are Achievements?
Tap the trophy in the task editor to flag a task as an achievement. Achievements collect on the Achievements tab, grouped by year and month. You can turn the feature on or off under Settings, User Preferences.
Sync and Devices
Does the app sync across devices?
Yes. TasksDojo syncs through iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Do I need a separate account?
No. Sync uses the Apple ID already signed into your device.
What happens when I get a new device?
Sign in with the same Apple ID and your data syncs automatically.
Can I use the app offline?
Yes. TasksDojo works offline and syncs your changes once you are back online.
Notifications
Why am I not receiving reminders?
Make sure reminders are set on the task and that notifications are enabled under your device Settings, Notifications, TasksDojo.
Data and Privacy
How is my data protected?
Your data is stored in your private iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit, which includes strong encryption. TasksDojo never sells or shares your data.
How do I delete my data?
Go to Settings, Manage Data, Delete All Data. A two-step confirmation erases all of your tasks, lists, tags, reminders, attachments, habits, mantras, and focus sessions.
Pricing
Is the app free?
Yes, completely. Every feature is included with no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no in-app purchases.
Customization and More
Does the app support Light and Dark mode?
Yes. Choose System, Light, or Dark under Settings.
How can I customize the app?
Under Settings, User Preferences you can set default priority, List, and tags for new tasks, choose card styles, configure the bottom-bar tabs, toggle count badges, and show or hide the daily quote.
Is there a roadmap?
Yes. A public roadmap is available on this website.
Is there a web version?
Not currently. TasksDojo is a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
