How InfiniTask works.

Welcome to InfiniTask

Most task apps make you choose between beautiful and simple. InfiniTask doesn't. Every detail's been considered, every interaction smoothed — so all you have to do is open it and go.

There's nothing to learn first. But here's the lay of the land:

• Today — everything that matters right now, in one place.
• Projects — homes for your bigger plans, each shaped by Stacks.
• Notebooks — somewhere to write things down when a Task won't cut it.
• Settings — make it yours.

All four, one tap away, always.

The whole core app is free. Properly free, not a demo. Pro is a few crafted extras for the people who fancy them, never a gate.

Right. Add your first Task.

Your first Task, in 30 seconds

1. Tap the + button and choose a Task.
2. Type what needs doing. Small is good — "Book dentist" beats "Sort health stuff."
3. The picker at the top shows exactly where it'll live. Leave it, or drop it where it belongs in a tap or two.
4. Done.

Want more? Tap + Add Things to open it up: due dates, checklists, attachments, a location, a link, a timer, an importance. As simple or as detailed as you want. Your call.

And if you don't know where a Task belongs yet? Don't worry about it. That's what General's for — more on that in a minute.

A tour of Today

Today answers one question: what do I need to know right now?

Top to bottom:

• The date carousel. Swipe through your days, or tap one to slide it into the centre. The dots under each date are real: your calendar events and your Tasks. Tap the centred card to open the Calendar.
• Your day in a line. A single banner telling you how many Events and Tasks you've got. Tap it for the full agenda.
• QuickStats. A row of reflective tiles. Not a scoreboard — see QuickStats below.
• Activity. What you've actually been doing lately, filtered by Recent, Tasks, Notes or Timers.

Nothing lands here unless it belongs here. Tasks without a due date stay in their Projects until you're ready. Today never nags.

Tasks — one swipe, sorted

A Task is one thing you intend to do. Keeping it that simple is the point.

Moving a Task along takes a swipe. To Do, Overdue, Complete — one gesture, no menus. Prefer a button? Open the Task and tap Complete. Both work.

Dates and times are optional. A due date is for things that must happen by a day. A time is for things tied to a moment — timed Tasks join your calendar on Today. Neither? Perfectly fine. Not everything needs a deadline.

One Task, one action. If there's an "and" in the title, you've probably got two Tasks — or the start of a Project.

Overdue isn't failure. It's just the app being straight with you. Do it, reschedule it, or let it go — all three are legitimate. An honest list you trust beats an optimistic one you avoid.

General — somewhere for everything

Not every Task fits a Stack. Some thoughts arrive before they have a home — and the worst thing an app can do is make you file them before you can capture them.

So InfiniTask has General. It catches the rest, no filing required.

Jot the thought. Get on with your day. When the Task's shape becomes clear, move it where it belongs — or just do it straight from General. There's no rule that says it has to move, and General never demands a tidy-up.

Capture first, organise later. Or never. Your call.

Projects — homes for bigger things

A Project is where anything too big for a single Task lives: the trip, the renovation, the launch.

Projects do two jobs:

1. They keep Today calm. The full plan lives in the Project; only the Tasks you've dated surface on Today.
2. They give big things a finish line. Somewhere ambitions get completed, not just collected.

You'll always find a To Do Project waiting at the top — there from day one, so your Tasks always have a home and you're never staring at an empty screen.

When to make one: three or more steps, it's a Project. "Book dentist" is a Task. "Plan Mum's birthday" is a Project.

Inside every Project, Tasks are organised into Stacks — and that's where big things start feeling doable.

Stacks — the shape of a Project

Stacks are the sections inside a Project. Every Task in a Project lives in one.

Why they matter: big things stall when they're one long list. Forty Tasks in a flat pile is a wall. The same forty, grouped into a few Stacks, is a plan. Stacks turn "everything I have to do" into "here's the shape of this thing" — and shape is what makes a Project feel doable.

Three ways people use them:

• Stages — Planning → Doing → Done. Move Tasks along as work moves.
• Phases — Before the trip / During / After. For Projects that unfold over time.
• Areas — Kitchen / Bathroom / Garden. For Projects that split by place or theme.

No right way. Stacks take whatever shape your Project actually has, rather than forcing one on you.

Give each one a personality. Tag your Stacks with any emoji you like. 🎯 🛒 🌱 It's faster to scan, and honestly, it's just nicer.

A good habit: when you start a Project, sketch its Stacks before adding a single Task. Two minutes of "what are the parts of this?" makes everything after easier to place — and easier to start.

Notebooks — somewhere to write it down

Not everything in your head is a Task. Some of it is a thought, a list of names, half a recipe, notes from a call. Those don't want a checkbox. They want a page.

That's Notebooks. Each one is a cover with Notes inside, and a Note holds whatever you need it to: rich text, photos, attachments, a checklist, a link, an importance.

How they relate to your Tasks: they don't, and that's deliberate. Tasks are things you'll finish. Notes are things you'll refer back to. Keeping them apart means neither clutters the other. The one thread running through both is Tags — tag a Task and a Note the same way, search that tag, and they both turn up.

A few ways people use them: one Notebook per area of life. One for recipes. One for a book you're writing. One just called Ideas, for the things that arrive at the wrong moment.

Give each Notebook its own cover colour, and a photo backdrop if you fancy. Both are part of Pro.

Getting the best from Today

Today works hardest when you trust it completely. A few habits get you there:

• Date only what's real. A due date is a small promise to yourself. If everything's due today, nothing is. Date what genuinely needs the day; leave the rest in their Projects.
• Give anchored things a time. Timed Tasks join your calendar in one honest flow.
• Clear the overdue daily. Slipping Tasks want one of three things: do, reschedule, or delete. A clean Overdue tab is the best feeling in the app.
• Let the undated breathe. Those are the flexible ones. Pick them off between the fixed points of your day.

The aim isn't a full Today. It's a true one.

Habits that make Tasks effortless

• Capture the moment you think of it. A Task in the app is a thought off your mind. General means there's never a reason to wait.
• Write the next action, not the topic. "Email Sam the quote" starts itself. "Sam" doesn't.
• Verbs first. Book, send, buy, call, fix. A verb tells you exactly what doing it looks like.
• Review little and often. A minute on Today each morning. A few minutes in your Projects each week. That's the whole system.
• Delete freely. A Task that's stopped mattering isn't a failure — it's finished, just differently. Letting go keeps every list honest.

Keeping Projects tidy

Projects drift. Here's how to keep them true:

• Give every Stack a job. If you can't say what belongs in it, merge it into one that earns its place.
• Watch the pile-up. If one Stack keeps swelling, there's probably a structure hiding inside it. Split it.
• Use General as the front door. Capture there, sort into Projects when you review. Filing once a week beats filing forty times a day.
• Select in bulk. Long-press any Task and choose Select. Tick off several, then move, duplicate, complete or delete the lot in one go. Tidying a drifting Project takes a minute, not an evening.

Tidy isn't the goal — trustworthy is. A Project you believe is one you'll actually open.

The Focus Timer

Give a Task a timer and a play button appears on its card, in the colour of its Project. Tap it and the Task goes full screen: a countdown, a progress bar, and three controls. Rewind, play or pause, and mark the session done.

You're not limited to one. Swipe sideways and you move between every timed Task in that Project, all of them running at once. Need longer? "Give it more time" adds a preset without losing your place, and "Reset to original timer" puts it back.

Running out of time doesn't complete the Task, and neither does the tick. The timer is there to protect your attention, not to make decisions for you.

Personalising InfiniTask

• Emoji everywhere it counts. Tag your Stacks with any emoji you like — fast, expressive, no icon library to wade through.
• Looks great, day or night. Light, Dark, Black, or Match System. Find them in Settings → Theme & Colors.
• Pick your default view. Cards or a list, whichever suits you, set once in Settings → Default View. Any screen's ••• menu can still override it.
• Switch the app icon. Settings → App Icon, then pick a style: Default, Solid, Gradient, Folders, Notebooks or Misc. Most are part of Pro — you'll spot the badge.

What Pro includes

InfiniTask is complete for free. That's a promise, not a trial — the whole Task system, beautifully done, no strings.

Pro is for the people who love the app and fancy a little more:

• Alternate app icons — 50+ crafted looks to make it unmistakably yours.
• Bolder folders — the full colour palette for your Projects.
• Striking covers — the same, for your Notebooks.
• Backdrops — drop your own photo behind a Project or Notebook, and frame it exactly how you like.
• Your colours, by default — pick a go-to colour and it's chosen for you every time.
• Keep your secrets — lock a Project behind Face ID or Touch ID.
• QuickStats — the extra tiles, and the Customise sheet to choose which you see.

One purchase. Yours for good. No subscription, no renewal, nothing that expires. Pay once, and everything Pro — now and in future updates — is simply yours.

And honestly: if you never buy Pro, you're not missing anything you need. That's by design.

QuickStats — a mirror, not a scoreboard

QuickStats is the one place in InfiniTask that looks backwards — turning everything you've ever done into a picture of how you actually work.

Not counts and charts. Observations:

• Tuesdays are your heaviest days.
• You're a morning finisher.
• You usually act within a day.

Two promises:

1. Only ever true. An insight appears only when your history supports it. New here? We'll say so — your picture is still developing — rather than invent something.
2. Never a nag. QuickStats reflects; it doesn't push. No scores, no streaks, no "do more." The app's job is to notice, kindly.

The longer you're here, the richer it gets. It's our thank-you to the people who stay.

One purchase, explained honestly

Straight answers to fair questions:

Really one-time? Yes. One payment, yours for life, including Pro features we add later.

Will free features move behind Pro? No. The free app is the whole Task system, and it stays that way. Pro is only ever additive — lovely extras nobody needs, made for people who want them.

New phone? Your purchase lives with your Apple Account. Reinstall, then tap Settings → Restore Purchases, and it all comes back.

Why not a subscription? Because an app like this should be something you own, not something you rent. Simple as that.

What happens to my data?

Nothing leaves your phone. There's no account to make, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Your Tasks, Notes and photos live on your device and nowhere else.

The full detail, including exactly why the app asks for your photos, calendar and Face ID, is on the privacy page.
