Tasks

My simple Tasks app is a lightweight and easy-to-use to-do list manager that helps you stay organized and on top of your tasks. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for creating, editing, and completing tasks, and it syncs your tasks across all your devices using Firestore.

Problem

I was using the built-in notes app on my iPhone and Mac to keep track of my tasks, but I ran into a few problems. First, the notes app didn't have a good way to organize tasks, and it was difficult to find the tasks I was looking for. Second, the notes app didn't sync properly between my iPhone and Mac, so I would often end up with duplicate tasks or missing tasks.

Solution

I decided to create my own simple tasks app that would address the problems I was having with the built-in notes app. My Simple Tasks app uses a simple list-based interface for managing tasks, and it allows users to tag their tasks with keywords or categories to make them easier to find. Additionally, the app syncs tasks across all devices using Firestore, so users always have the most up-to-date version of their to-do list.
