PopTask turns a messy thought into a scheduled task in about 3 seconds .. type it the way you'd say it .. "gym mon wed fri 6am" .. and it figures out the date, time, repeat and reminder .. no date pickers, no forms .. it even breaks big tasks into steps and suggests follow-ups .. on mac it lives in the menu bar (⌘⌃P from anywhere); on iphone + ipad it's in control center, widgets and siri .. on-device, private, 9 languages, synced through your own icloud .. free to start

The "gym mon wed fri 6am" natural-language parse into a scheduled recurring task is exactly the friction that makes me bail on most to-do apps. Day-one thing I'd want to know: when it mis-reads a messy thought (sets 6pm instead of 6am, or the wrong repeat), can I fix the parsed task inline, or do I have to delete and retype from scratch? And since it syncs through my own iCloud, if I add a task on mac while my phone is offline, does it reconcile cleanly when the phone is back or can I end up with a duplicate?

@leo404 yeah, you can fix it inline. if it lands on 6pm and you meant 6am, tap the time and change it, nothing gets deleted or retyped
the offline case: add it on mac with your phone off, and when the phone comes back it merges by task id, so you get one task, not two
the on-device part is what sells it for me, a to-do app parsing my half-formed thoughts is exactly the kind of thing I don't want going to someone's server. "gym mon wed fri 6am" parsing correctly on the first try is a much higher bar than it sounds like, most natural language date parsers fall apart the second you mix a repeat pattern with a specific time like that. does it handle relative stuff too, like "remind me in 20 min" or only fixed schedule style input

@omri_ben_shoham1 yeah, relative works too, "remind me in 20 min", "in 2 hours", "in 3 days" all resolve, not just fixed schedules 🙌🏽
nice, that's honestly the part that trips up most of these parsers. does it handle recurring stuff too, like "remind me every morning at 8" or is it strictly one-off reminders for now
I like how PopTask simplifies task creation, but I'd love to see some level of customization for the menu bar icon on Mac - maybe different colors or a compact mode to save space.

@aymnart there's already a menu-bar picker for what it shows (icon only / count / today + overdue), but icon colors and a compact mode aren't there yet
The messy-input parser is the whole product here. I like that the capture path stays fast, but the trust layer is showing the interpreted date/repeat/reminder before it commits anything. Tiny Apple utilities live or die on whether they preserve flow without making the user wonder what just got scheduled.

@krekeltronics exactly .. the sneaky part is the preview can't become its own friction .. it has to land before you look away 🙌🏽
Really like the focus on natural language instead of making people fill out forms and date pickers.
Curious.....what's the most surprising prompt PopTask has successfully turned into a task?
Wishing you a fantastic launch today! 🚀

@worksforme thanks laibaa 🙌🏽 how about this one?
The natural language parsing actually works as advertised, typed "dentist thursday 2pm" and it just landed correctly without me double-checking. Living in the menu bar makes it frictionless to dump tasks throughout the day.

@egemeniler26204 this is exactly the moment i built it for .. type it the way you'd say it and get back to work, no double-checking 🙌🏽 glad it's clicking for you
The natural language parsing for dates and recurrence feels really tight, "gym mon wed fri 6am" just working without any friction is a small thing but it makes the whole experience feel considered. Nice execution.
