NowThis
Your tasks, calendar, and reflections — in one beautiful workspace.
Privacy-first task manager for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Open source. Zero tracking. No subscriptions.
Built natively with SwiftUI · Liquid Glass on iOS 26
Your tasks, every way you want them.
Task list, Kanban board, calendar, or Eisenhower matrix — switch views to match your workflow.
Multiple Views
Switch between Task List, Kanban Board, Calendar (month & week), and Eisenhower Matrix. Drag-to-reschedule, drag between columns — every workflow covered.
Natural Language Input
Type — or dictate to Siri — "Call dentist tomorrow at 5pm !high @health" and watch it parse in real time. Priority, due date, time, and tags, all from one line. The parser reads English date phrases.
Infinite Subtask Nesting
Organize complex projects with collapsible hierarchies and visual progress rings. Drag to indent, collapse to focus.
Privacy without compromise.
Your task data belongs to you — and only you. No corporate clouds. No data harvesting.
Zero Tracking
No analytics. No ads. No data harvesting. Your task data belongs to you and never leaves your device unless you choose to sync.
Nextcloud Sync
Built for Nextcloud Tasks — with native subtask sync, Login Flow v2, and app password support. Works with any standard CalDAV server too.
Vault Mode
No server needed. Vault Mode keeps everything on-device — your tasks, lists, and history never leave your phone. Full functionality, zero sync.
Native to the core.
SwiftUI, Liquid Glass, and deep Apple integration — no web views, no Electron, no shortcuts.
Beautiful & Native
Designed from the ground up with SwiftUI — including Liquid Glass on iOS 26. Smooth animations, satisfying completion pops, and full Light & Dark mode.
Geofence Reminders
Get reminded at the right place. Location-based alerts trigger when you arrive at or leave a location — fully processed on-device, 100% private.
Markdown Journals
Attach rich Markdown journal entries to any task via the open VJOURNAL standard. Keep notes, decisions, and reflections alongside your to-dos.
Your day, on your wrist.
Today's and overdue tasks, pushed live from your iPhone — with complications for your watch face.
Today on Your Wrist
The watch app opens to today's and overdue tasks, pushed live from your iPhone. Browse Smart Lists and every list of your own, with live counts.
Complications
Put NowThis on your watch face or in the Smart Stack: a remaining-today count, your next task with its due time, or an inline count.
NowThis Pro
Browsing and complications are free. Pro unlocks checking tasks off and adding them by voice — a one-time purchase, no subscription. With no ads and no tracking, buying Pro is a direct way to support continued development.
