A useful daily plan shows both the things you need to do and the appointments you need to work around. GoodTask brings your Apple Reminders and calendar events into one place, with views you can tailor to the way you plan.
Start with the reminders and calendars you already use
GoodTask works with the reminders and calendars available on your device. You can keep using Apple’s apps while organizing the same underlying tasks and events in GoodTask.
Apple Calendar can also display scheduled reminders on supported versions of iOS. GoodTask adds its own planning tools, including Smart Lists, configurable views, and Quick Actions. The useful question is how you want to organize and act on your day.
Show tasks and events in the same view
- Open GoodTask and allow access to Reminders and Calendar when requested.
- In Settings → Lists & Calendars, choose the reminder lists and calendars you want GoodTask to use.
- Open a list and check its calendar choices in the list’s settings.
- To mix events and tasks in date order, open Settings → Sort, Tags and turn Separate Calendar Events off. Leave it on if you prefer events in their own section.
- Choose a view that fits your planning, such as Day, Week, or Calendar View.
Keep a 2 p.m. meeting visible alongside “Prepare the agenda” and “Send the follow-up.” The meeting stays a calendar event. The preparation and follow-up stay tasks you can complete.
Give each list the right context
A work list can show work reminders and your work calendar. A personal list can use a different selection. Smart Lists let you narrow the task side further—for example, to work due today—without moving those reminders into a new storage location.
Consider undated tasks as well as appointments. Each list’s settings let you choose where undated tasks appear, so an unscheduled task does not have to disappear from your planning.
Tasks and events remain different items
A task is something to finish; an event reserves time on a calendar. Showing them together does not turn one into the other. A task and an event created from it remain separate items.
If a calendar is missing, check access and the selected calendars both in GoodTask’s settings and in the current list. If the data itself is missing across devices, see the sync guide and the troubleshooting section in the in-app User Guide.
