TaskNote for iPhone
Your notes, kanban board and reminders in your pocket, stored on the phone itself. No account and no server, like the Windows app. A native app, not a web page in a wrapper.
Offline, always
Everything lives in a local database on the phone. No sign-in, no sync server, no waiting for a connection.
Nothing leaves the phone
Like the Windows app: your notes are yours, on your device. Back them up to iCloud Drive or export them as Markdown whenever you like.
Notes, board, reminders
All three in one app, with drag and drop on the board and reminders that ring even when the app is closed.
Widgets and Apple Watch
Today's tasks and a pinned note on the home screen; reminders and quick capture on the wrist.
What ships first

The web app on iPhone vs the native app
The web app already runs on the iPhone from the home screen. The native app adds what a browser cannot reach.

| Face ID lock | No | Yes |

Questions
When is it coming?+
We are building it now. The waitlist gets the first TestFlight builds and the release email; there is no public date yet, and we would rather ship something solid than promise a month.
Will it be free?+
Yes. Notes, the kanban board and reminders stay free, with the same Pro plan as on the web and on Windows for people who want no limits.
Does it need an account, and does it sync with the web app?+
No account. Like the Windows app, it keeps everything in a local database on the iPhone. It does not sync with the web app; notes move between them with Markdown export and import.
Meanwhile
The web app already works on the iPhone: open task-note.com, add it to the home screen and it runs full screen, offline included.
