A helpful assistant

TaskMaker is a productivity automation tool: bring your content, get clean tasks. Save time, avoid manual data entry, and keep everything in one place.

🧾

Tasks are hidden everywhere

Messages, emails, meeting notes, or voice memos: TaskMaker finds the tasks that would otherwise get lost.

⏱️

Less typing, more doing

Instead of creating tasks manually, have them extracted automatically—incl. due dates when possible.

Directly in Apple Reminders

Your extracted tasks end up where you already plan: the Reminders app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

How it works

📥

Bring text, audio, or an image

Share from other apps, paste from the clipboard, or import files. Images are supported too.

🧠

Extract tasks

TaskMaker identifies actionable tasks and detects dates/deadlines. Audio is transcribed locally.

🗓️

Create in Reminders

With one tap, tasks are created in Apple Reminders—done.

Image workflow (new in version 1.2)

Choose “Take photo” on the start screen (or share/import an image). TaskMaker reads text locally via OCR first and suggests tasks. Optionally—and only with consent—a downscaled image can be used for AI analysis.

Example input: whiteboard photo for image analysis

1) Photo of a whiteboard

Example input: notepad photo for image analysis

2) Photo of a notepad

Result: detected tasks from an image

3) Detected tasks
