A focused iOS task and list manager. Your lists sync through your own iCloud — and you can share any list with one other person, end-to-end.
Open TaskBeam and you get lists. Items inside lists. Tags. Priorities. The things you actually need to plan a day, a trip, a shared project — and nothing else. No projects-of-projects, no calendar integrations, no AI to argue with. Just a fast, native iOS experience that feels like it belongs on your phone.
Everything is stored locally on your device first, so the app is instant. In the background, your lists quietly sync to your own private iCloud, so the same lists appear on your iPad, your other iPhone, and any new device you sign into. And when you want a list to be a two-person list — a grocery list with a partner, a packing list with a friend — you tap share, send the link, and the other person sees it live.
Every feature is there because a list app needs it. Nothing is there to harvest your attention or your data.
The core taxonomy of a real list manager. Group related work into lists. Tag items across lists. Mark what's urgent versus what's just on deck.
Your lists ride on CloudKit — Apple's first-party sync, in your own iCloud account. No third-party server in the loop. Sign in on a new device, your lists are there.
Built on CKShare, Apple's native sharing primitive. Send a link, the other person joins, edits show up live on both sides. Stop sharing whenever you want.
Every interaction is local first. The app doesn't wait on the network, ever. Sync happens quietly in the background; you never see a spinner where a tap should be.
Built for iPhone and iPad. Real swipe gestures, real haptics, real keyboard shortcuts on iPad. No web-view trickery. Dark mode and dynamic type respected by default.
The only "account" TaskBeam knows about is the Apple ID you're already signed into. There's no separate TaskBeam login, no email to verify, no password to remember.
Optional due dates with local notifications. Scheduled and fired entirely on your device — no push server is involved. Turn them off in iOS Settings any time.
No banner ads. No sponsored items. No analytics SDKs. No third-party trackers in the binary. The Privacy Nutrition Label reflects this.
TaskBeam doesn't have a server. We don't run a database of your tasks; we don't have one to sell or to lose in a breach. Your lists live in two places: on your device, and in your own private iCloud.
Local first. Every list, item, tag, and priority is stored on your device. The app works fully offline. If you never sign into iCloud, nothing ever leaves your phone.
iCloud-only sync. If iCloud is enabled, TaskBeam uses Apple's CloudKit to sync your data inside your own iCloud account. We — the developers — cannot see, query, or export any of it. Apple's iCloud terms and security model apply.
Sharing is one-to-one and explicit. A list is private until you tap share. When you share, only the person you invite can see that one list. You can revoke access at any time, and the recipient can leave at any time.
No third-party anything. No analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no crash reporters that ship data to a vendor. The app talks to Apple's iCloud, and that's it.
