Task alarms you won't sleep through

Notifications are easy to miss. ETasks gives your to-dos real alarms (the kind that ring like your morning alarm) so deadlines actually get your attention, on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Why a quiet notification isn't enough

Every to-do app can send a notification. The problem: a notification is one buzz among fifty, silenced by Focus modes, buried in the notification stack, gone the moment you glance away. For the tasks that really can't slip (medication, a call, picking someone up, a deadline), you need something that behaves like an alarm clock, not a badge.

ETasks uses Apple's alarm framework (AlarmKit) so a task alarm keeps ringing until you deal with it, the same way your wake-up alarm does.

Built for deadlines that matter

Real alarms, recurring reminders, postpone

Set a real alarm or a standard reminder per task: your choice, per task. Recurrence covers routines like weekly reviews or daily medication. Running late? Postpone rings it again in a bit.

  • Alarms ring insistently until handled, like a morning alarm
  • Recurring reminders for routines and habits
  • Deadline warnings before a due date slips

On your wrist too

Reminders and deadline warnings reach your Apple Watch, so a task can get your attention even when your iPhone is across the room. Complete or postpone right from the notification.

Alarms for Google Tasks, finally

Google Tasks can send a standard notification when a task has a due time, but it does not offer a persistent AlarmKit-style alarm. Connect your Google account to ETasks and any Google Task can carry that stronger kind of alert. Alarm details travel with the task as ETasks metadata, and alerts fire on your Apple devices. On shared lists, reminders and alarms stay personal.
