Features

Apple Reminders Sync

Two-way sync with Apple Reminders. Your tasks stay in the Apple ecosystem, accessible from iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Pomodoro Timer

Built-in Pomodoro timer with configurable work/break intervals. Track focus sessions per task.

Batch Operations

Complete, delete, or reschedule multiple tasks at once. Keyboard-driven TUI makes bulk edits fast.

Background Daemon

Runs as a daemon to keep tasks synced and trigger Pomodoro notifications — no terminal window required.

Command Palette

Press ":" and type an action by name — new task, sync, pomodoro — instead of memorizing shortcuts. Live-filtered as you type.
