Smart Tasks 3.6: Siri AI

Siri AI

• Ask Siri to add, complete, edit, or delete tasks by voice or in the Siri app
• On-screen awareness lets Siri see what's on your screen, so you can say “complete the second task” or “what do I have to do today”, and Siri will know what to do
• Create a new category by voice, and Siri will automatically give it a color
• Siri shows Smart Tasks' own task and category UI, and you can tap it to open the task or category
• Send a task in a message by voice, like “text this task to Mom”
• Asking Siri to find a task will open the search field in Smart Tasks with your search term filled in
• Complete tasks from the Lock Screen by voice. You'll need to unlock your device if you want to delete a task
• Tasks added by Siri without a date use your default date option, just like tasks added in the app
• Requires iOS 27 / macOS 27 or later with Apple Intelligence

Widget Improvements

• Support for the extra-large portrait widget size
• The extra large widget on iPad shows each task's time or date under its title
• The Progress widget can now track just a single category. It still tracks all tasks by default
• The Category and Progress widgets open their settings the moment you add them, so customization options are easier to find (iOS 18 or later)
• See each color next to its name when choosing a Progress widget color
• Widgets rise to the top of the Smart Stack while you still have tasks, and around a task's due time
• The Smart Stack can suggest the Category widget for categories you open often
• Lock Screen widgets count down the last half hour before a task is due
• Controls assigned to the Action button now say what they do as you press it

Apple Watch

• The Smart Stack suggests your tasks in the morning, your progress in the evening, and either one around a task's due time (watchOS 11 or later)
• Today's tasks now show up in the Smart Stack on your watch
• The progress ring now comes in circular, corner, and rectangular styles
• An inline complication shows how many tasks you have left today
• A New Task control for Control Center, the Smart Stack, and the Action button (watchOS 26 or later)
• Each timed task gets its own Smart Stack card around its due time (watchOS 26 or later)

General Improvements

• Fully updated look and feel for iOS 27 and macOS 27
• Close any pop-up or options screen with Command-W on Mac
