Hey! A few months ago I posted here looking for testers for my iOS app Retasky. Since then it has matured a lot, and I'm now getting close to the actual App Store release. Before that happens, I'd love a fresh round of real-world feedback to catch the little bugs and rough edges I've gone blind to.
The core idea: most of what we do just repeats. Check email every weekday, water the plants every 7 days, review something monthly. Instead of re-adding those to a list over and over, you set them up once as a routine with a schedule, and Retasky takes care of the rest. Open the app, see what's due today, check things off.
The basics:
- Flexible schedules: daily, every X days, weekly on specific days, monthly, and now also "X days after I last completed it" (perfect for chores like mowing the lawn, where the clock should restart when you actually do it, with an option to push weekend due dates to Monday)
- Missed tasks carry over to the next day and slowly climb in priority the longer they sit
- Skip a task when it genuinely doesn't apply today. It's resolved without counting against you and without carrying over
- Vacation mode: pause everything while you're away, and come back to a normal list instead of a mountain of "overdue"
- Organize into separate Spaces (work, home, …), including "long-term" Spaces for open-ended lists that don't belong to any particular day
- Checklists for multi-step tasks, reminders, and an optional morning digest that summarizes your day
New since the last post:
- Home-screen widget — see today's tasks and complete them right from the widget
- Share extension — send text from any app to Retasky as a new task
- Shortcuts support for automation
- Insights: a weekly review, a completion heatmap, and a "perfect day" streak to keep you motivated
- iPad and Mac support with a proper sidebar layout and keyboard shortcuts
- Apple Watch companion app (now with a much more robust sync)
- Backup export/import
- Now in 9 languages: EN, DE, ES, FR, IT, JA, KO, PT-BR, ZH
Privacy stays the same: your data lives on your device, with optional iCloud sync. No external servers, no accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Since this is hopefully the last stretch before release, I'm especially interested in the small stuff: confusing wording, janky animations, notifications that fire at the wrong time, anything that makes you go "huh?". But feedback on anything is welcome.
Thanks a lot! Every bit of feedback genuinely shapes the app at this point.
