Amended 6/10/25 Thank you for adding some of my suggestions. App continues to evolve and mature. One thing I’d also love to see is at least one simple Apple Watch complication for one tap access to my lists. I appreciate the excellent new update that also fixes subtasks and note font size on the iPhone! Previous: Focus has most of what you can ask for in a task / project manager and then some. A single developer managed to pull off what took Things — with a team of Developers years, and has more to offer in my opinion. ### Many niceties … - Dedicated Inbox - Thoughtful customization (hide what you don’t want to see, show colors, increase/decrease font size, etc.) - Tags — multi-level - Projects/Lists (with notes) - Areas (with notes) - Archive projects and tasks - Sub-tasks - Dedicated Inbox - Quick add task from App contextual menu - Today, Next, Later and Planned views - Calendar with day, week and monthly views - Custom list sections - Built-in Evening section — a place for your nightly tasks - Drag and drop to change dates and sections - Task Goals (unique) - Exceptional search and filtering capabilities - Extremely reasonable pricing model - Available on iPhone, iPad and Mac (under one subscription) - Consistent updates over the last year - Responsive developer ### Few feature requests: - Notes for Today/Star and Calendar view (like projects and areas display at the top) - Image and file attachments - System Calendar integration ✔️ - Watch app ✔️ - Weather displayed at top of Today/Star view and Calender (10 day forecast, like BusyCal). - Additional app icons to choose from with multiple pleasing colors to match different home screens All and all, Focus is a power user’s dream, yet it can be as simple as you want to be if you just want to manage your daily tasks or lists. Highly recommend you give it a try.
Focused has a bunch over very interesting feature and is well done. Doesn’t crash and has a consistent logic. I’d say it just needs a little more refinement in the how to enter data area and some more features.
Task Focus keeps your tasks, projects, and priorities in one place. Plan your day, see what needs attention, and get on with the work without spending...
