Backtask

Recurring tasks, real momentum.

Backtask reminds you of everything you do on repeat. Fall behind? One tap catches you up. And tasks stay locked until they’re actually due. Daily progress, streaks, and a beautiful Today view keep you motivated. Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

More than a checklist.

Water the plants, change the air filter, call your parents, pay the rent. Backtask keeps every repeating task on schedule, forgives you when life gets in the way — and turns every day you clear into a streak worth keeping.

Smart catch-up

Miss a few cycles? Backtask skips the ones you missed and marks the current one done — no tapping over and over to catch up.

Every kind of repeat

Daily — even two or three times a day — set weekdays, every two weeks, monthly, or a rolling “every N days” counted from the last time you finished.

Know your day

A progress ring and glanceable cards sit atop your list — overdue, due today, coming up — turning a flat list into a daily goal.

Focus on today

One tap opens just today’s tasks under a big hero ring — topped with an inspiring quote of the day to get you moving.

Streaks & medals

Clear everything due and your day streak grows. Earn medals at milestones, and flip through any task’s month-by-month history.

Reminders that land

Add up to three notification times per task — or let a smart reminder learn when you usually finish and nudge you right then.

Color-coded categories

Group tasks into colorful categories like Home, Health, and Work, and see at a glance what’s due across your day.

Right on your Home Screen

A Due Today widget shows what needs doing and lets you check tasks off without even opening the app.

Private & synced

No account, no tracking. Your tasks sync across your devices through your own iCloud, never our servers.
