We all have a huge amount to remember to do each day that it makes sense to rely on apps to help keep on top of things. As you have your phone with you pretty much all the time, it is a natural home for a to do app or calendar tool, and this is precisely what Smart Tasks is.

The app has a clean, clear design that remain uncluttered even when you have a hectic schedule. Tasks can be dragged and dropped to new positioned to re-prioritise, and tasks can include notes as well as reminders – including repeat reminders for things you do on a routine. Existing reminders you have in the Apple Reminders app can be imported so you have everything in the same place.

There is, of course, dark mode support, and when you swipe on a task, customisable quick actions let you deal with things in various ways. One of the apps keys stand out features are its widgets which take full advantage of the new option introduced in iOS 14. It means that you can see from you home screen what you have coming up without the need to launch an app. There is also a macOS version available, and your tasks will synchronise between devices.

One feature of Smart Tasks that is particularly useful is the ability to see the next seven days' of tasks. This makes it easy to see what the week ahead holds, and the use of colours for categorisation makes help you to determine just what sort of week you have to look forward to – or to endure.

While many of the features of the app are free, you can unlock more by taking out a subscription. You can opt to pay either $1.99 per month or $11.99 per year, depending on your preference and how long you would like to commit to the app. Importantly, when you first install the app, you can try out all of the feature for free for seven days before access is restricted to paid-for elements.
