A shared task app for Apple households

AnyTask is a native task manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with built-in iCloud list sharing — designed for households that want shared lists without committing to a productivity system. Whoever you live with already has an iCloud account: no sign-ups, no second app for the kids, no third-party server holding your grocery list.

Built on iCloud sharing

AnyTask uses Apple's CloudKit to share lists between iCloud users. That means:

• No new account for anyone. Your partner already has an Apple ID. So do your kids.
• Real-time sync. When one person checks off "milk" at the store, it disappears from everyone else's list.
• No third party in the middle. AnyTask doesn't run a server. Shared lists travel through Apple's infrastructure, encrypted and tied to your families' iCloud accounts.

How families use it

The grocery list everyone can edit

One shared "Groceries" list. Anyone in the household can add to it from their phone. Whoever happens to be at the store sees the live list. Items they pick up vanish for everyone else. Add a photo of the specific brand or product to the task — no more group-text confusion about which kind to grab.

Household chores

Shared "Chores" list with recurring tasks: water plants weekly, change air filter monthly, take out recycling Tuesday night. Recurring rules mean nobody has to remember.

Kid logistics

"School" list with permission slips, project deadlines, and the soccer-cleat-replacement that keeps almost-getting-bought. Photos of the form attached so it doesn't get lost in someone's email.

Shared "Honey-do" without the connotation

A shared list called whatever you want, with a custom color and icon. Add things, do things, check things off, no nagging app required.

Privacy for shared family data

Because AnyTask doesn't have its own servers, your shared lists aren't sitting in some company's database. They're in your families' iCloud accounts, governed by Apple's privacy rules — the same ones that protect your photos and messages.

That also means: when a family member is removed from a shared list, the data goes with them on Apple's terms, not ours.

Why not just use Apple Reminders?

You can — and for very simple grocery lists, Reminders is fine and free. But families tend to outgrow it quickly. AnyTask adds:

• Customizable colors and icons so the kids' lists are visually different from the adults'.
• Photos and links on tasks (the brand of dish soap, the school portal link).
• A Sort mode for "I just thought of three things while making dinner."
• Better recurring rules for household chores.
• Calendar sync so events and tasks live in one place.

Setup, in less than 30 seconds

1. One person installs AnyTask and creates a list.
2. Tap Share → Add People. Pick from your iCloud contacts.
3. Each invitee taps the link, accepts, and the list appears in their AnyTask.

That's it. The list shows up in everyone's AnyTask, edits sync in real time, and you can manage members or stop sharing at any point.
