The one-liner

Positioning

Smart Tasks sits between bare-bones built-in lists and heavyweight project managers. It's more capable and far more colorful than Apple Reminders, yet deliberately simpler than tools like Todoist, Things, or OmniFocus. It's made for the individual: students, busy parents and professionals, and people with ADHD who want a clean, visual, low-friction way to organize their day and week.

Short boilerplate, ready to paste

Smart Tasks is a simple, colorful to-do list and weekly planner for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. It helps people break down their day and plan their week with color-coded categories, reminders, routines, iCloud sync, and home-screen widgets, no account required. Free to download with an optional Smart Tasks+ subscription. Rated 4.7 stars from over 4,400 App Store ratings.

What makes it distinctive

  • Color comes first. Every category gets one of 41 hand-picked colors, plus custom ones, so lists are recognizable in a glance.
  • It's weekly by design. The Next 7 Days screen lays your week out one day at a time.
  • It's native everywhere. Built for each Apple platform, in sync over iCloud, with a real Apple Watch app and three widget types.
  • It's private and low-friction. No sign-up, and your tasks stay on your device and in your personal iCloud.
  • It's recommended on campus. Columbia University and the University of New Hampshire list it as a student tool.
