How can we help?

Tap the plus button or the quick-add row in Today, All Tasks, or any category. On iPhone you can also use the “Add New Task” card.

Yes. Type or dictate something like “call the dentist next Tuesday at 3” and PathDay fills in the date, time, and other details for you. A built-in parser does this on every device. On devices with Apple Intelligence, PathDay also uses Apple’s on-device model to catch what the parser misses. Either way it happens on your device, and you can change anything it filled in before you save.

Tap a task to open the editor. Swipe a task to Flag or Delete it. Deleting a recurring task asks whether to remove just that occurrence or the whole series.

Tap its completion button in the list, or mark it complete in the task editor.

Set None, Low, Medium, High, or Critical (color-coded) in the task editor.

Yes. In All Tasks, tap Select, choose multiple tasks, then set Date, Category, or Priority for all of them and tap Apply.

It is where anything you capture waits until you decide about it. The Inbox is not a category you file into, it is a state a task is in: an item is in the Inbox from the moment you capture it until you give it a day.

On iPhone, tap the floating plus in the tab bar while you are on the Inbox and the editor opens with the Inbox already chosen. On iPad and Mac the Inbox column also has its own Add New Task row. Either way the item lands with no date and no category.

By getting a day. Giving an item a date, in any editor or from Process Inbox, is the decision that takes it out. Giving it a category does not move it, because a category says what a thing is about, which is not an answer to when.

A deliberate pass that empties the Inbox. Your whole queue is listed on one screen under a progress strip. Tick one row or several, then tap Schedule, Snooze, Update, or More. Undo reverses a whole batch.

Snooze hides an item until a wake day, a week or a month out, and then it returns to the queue on its own. Someday hides it indefinitely and it never comes back by itself. Both sit in collapsed sections under the Inbox, and Review Someday is a separate pass for the second one.

Its date and its due date are both cleared, because an Inbox item is something you have not decided when to do, and a deadline is a decision about when. The app warns you first and names what it is about to clear, and Undo restores it.

Categories are how you organize tasks by area of your life. Each category has a name, icon, and color, and a task is filed into exactly one of them or none at all. You can create as many as you want. Categories were called Lists in earlier versions.

The category is removed and its tasks are kept. Tasks that have a date simply become unfiled. Tasks with no date move to your Inbox, so they are not left both unfiled and undated, and the confirmation tells you how many will move before you commit.

Type a #hashtag directly in a task’s name and it is automatically added as a tag. You can filter by tag from the bars in Today, All Tasks, category screens, Search, and Reports. Manage tags under Settings, User Preferences, New Task Defaults.

Set a task date, plus an optional due date and due time, in the task editor. A due date must fall after the task date.

Up to two reminders per task, using presets or a Custom date and time.

Use the recurrence builder to repeat Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly, with intervals and weekday or day-of-month patterns. You can edit a single occurrence or the whole series. A task cannot have both a due date and a recurrence. Manage all series from the Recurring section at the bottom of All Tasks.

Subtasks break a task into a checklist of smaller steps, such as a shopping list.

Yes. Every task has a Notes field for extra detail or context.

Yes. Attach photos and files to a task, and record audio memos with on-device transcription. Attachments are stored in your private iCloud.

The Habits tab shows your habits as cards with streaks. Incomplete habits sort to the top, and you can log any past day by picking a date.

Five types: Simple (yes or no), Segment (named slots like AM and PM), Count (a tally toward a target), List (daily text entries), and Measure (a decimal value over time).

Each card shows a streak flame that turns orange at seven or more days, plus an optional seven-day trend chart.

Mantras are a daily mindset practice. Tap Add Mantras to turn on ones from the built-in library, or Create Custom to write your own with a label, title, and passage.

Tap a card to mark it practiced. Practice resets each day and builds a streak. Built-in mantras can be turned off and returned to the library rather than deleted.

The Pomodoro timer alternates focus sessions with short and long breaks (default 25, 5, and 30 minutes, four sessions per cycle), and every duration is configurable.

It stays in sync across your devices, shows a Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown, keeps a session History, and notifies you when a session or break ends. You can also link a focus session to a task to track the time you spend on it.

Bar charts for Daily (seven-day), Monthly (twelve-month), or Yearly (five-year) periods, covering Tasks, Habits, and Mantras, with Category and Tag filters.

Search finds tasks by name or notes, and you can narrow results by status, recurring, Category, and Tag filters.

Tap the trophy in the task editor to flag a task as an achievement. Achievements collect on the Achievements tab, grouped by year and month. You can turn the feature on or off under Settings, User Preferences.

Yes. PathDay syncs through iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

No. Sync uses the Apple ID already signed into your device.

Sign in with the same Apple ID and your data syncs automatically.

Yes. PathDay works offline and syncs your changes once you are back online.

Make sure reminders are set on the task and that notifications are enabled under your device Settings, Notifications, PathDay.

Your data is stored in your private iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit, which includes strong encryption. PathDay never sells or shares your data.

PathDay uses Apple Intelligence on supported devices to read tasks you enter in plain language, and it transcribes audio memos on your device. All of it runs locally through Apple’s own frameworks. Nothing you type or dictate is sent to Minds Illuminated, to Apple’s servers, or to any third party, and PathDay does not use any outside AI service. Where Apple Intelligence is unavailable or switched off, PathDay works the same way using its built-in parser.

Go to Settings, Manage Data, Delete All Data. A two-step confirmation erases all of your tasks, categories, tags, reminders, attachments, habits, mantras, and focus sessions.

Yes. Every feature is included at no cost. There is no paid tier, no subscription, and no in-app purchase.

Yes. Choose System, Light, or Dark under Settings.

Under Settings, User Preferences you can set default priority, category, and tags for new tasks, choose card styles, configure the bottom-bar tabs, toggle count badges, and show or hide the daily quote.

Not yet. A public roadmap is planned. In the meantime, send requests from Settings > Support & Feedback in the app.

Not currently. PathDay is a native app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
