The overview

Everything at a glance

Your lists, your projects — and the date you actually need when you open the app.

The day

“Today” knows what counts

Overdue up front, done at the bottom, quick wins tagged #quick.

The magic +

New tasks, the magic + way

Tap or drag — the task lands exactly where you drop it.

Once. €14.99.

No subscription, ever.

Download for free and work with up to three projects.

Private.

Your data belongs to you.

No account, no developer servers, no analytics. Your tasks live on your device — and, if you choose, in your private iCloud. Nowhere else. And they come back out: Hobba writes backups as a file, by hand or quietly in the background.

4 platforms.

One purchase, everywhere.

iPhone, iPad with a sidebar, a real Mac app and a standalone Apple Watch app with a complication — all included in one purchase.

When starting is hard

Hobba is built for minds with a lot going on at once. It asks instead of nagging, makes big things small and never shows more than you need. Hobba and ADHD →

01 · THE START

Too much for today? Pick three.

If more open tasks sit in “Today” than you set out to do, the list quietly asks once a day — nothing in red, no counter. “Pick three”: what you mark stays, the rest moves to tomorrow. An overloaded day is why you look away; the question comes before you do. In the morning, “Today” asks for your top 3; in the evening, “Wrap up the day?” helps you sort what’s left: tomorrow, someday, or it stays.

  • Top 3 in the morning
  • Pick three
  • Rest to tomorrow
  • Wrap up the day
02 · ONE AT A TIME

One task. Nothing else.

Exactly one task from “Today”, large — the next one. Done, Later or Tomorrow, plus a 5-, 15- or 25-minute timer that reports back even from the background. Less list, more starting.

  • 5, 15 or 25 minutes
  • Done
  • Later
  • Tomorrow
03 · BREAK IT DOWN

Been sitting there for days? Make it smaller.

Push the same task off “Today” for the fourth time, and the card quietly asks: break it up, or set it aside? With Apple Intelligence, Hobba suggests steps, and the first one is the smallest possible start. Add them one by one or all at once; only what you take is saved. Without Apple Intelligence, the subtask field opens and you write the first step yourself. And setting it aside means “Someday”: that’s a decision too.

  • Break up or set aside
  • Smallest start
  • On device
  • Someday
04 · QUICK WINS

Five minutes, one checkmark.

A list for everything that’s quick — for the moment you want to get something small done before touching the big thing. Tag it #quick or write “5 min” in the title; Hobba sets the tag itself. A widget shows exactly one quick win to check off, the next one moves up. And “Today” shows a ring for how much of the day is already done.

  • #quick
  • “5 min” in the title
  • Widget
  • Progress ring
05 · THE WEEK

The week as a board — and as a tally.

“Upcoming” can become a week grid: columns are days, with one column for everything later. Drag cards from one day to the next, select several, share — everything as on the project board. And at the end of the week, a calm card sits above the Log: done in the last seven days, in which projects, the best day, the streak. No karma, no comparison — just your own week.

  • Week grid
  • Drag cards
  • Your week
  • No karma
06 · REMINDERS

Reminded where and when it counts.

A reminder can arrive when you reach or leave a place — search for it, pick a radius, done. Save “Home” and “Work” once, and a sentence is enough when you create a task. Important reminders can ring as a real alarm, through the silent switch and any Focus. And a deadline speaks up on its own: on the morning of the lead day and once more on the day itself.

  • At a place
  • Saved places
  • Ring loudly
  • Deadlines speak up
07 · CAPTURE

Just write when.

Day, time, deadline, repeat — write it into the title. Hobba reads it out and takes it away, so the title stays clean. And when you paste ten lines from an email, Hobba asks whether that should become ten tasks — each line brings its own date. The same goes for Siri, Shortcuts and the watch. From Control Center, “New Task” opens the entry field directly, and Spotlight finds every open task.

  • Dates & times
  • Deadlines
  • Repeats
  • Paste a list
  • Siri & Watch
  • Control Center
  • Spotlight
08 · THE MAGIC +

Everything lands where you drag it.

The “+” doesn’t stay parked in the corner. You pick it up and drag it to where the new thing belongs — a task between two rows or into a section, a project between two others in your overview. It appears exactly there, not at the end of the list for you to push back up.

The same works in reverse: drag a project up and it becomes a favourite, drag it down and it goes in the bin. One gesture, three destinations, and no menu in between.

09 · THE BOARD

Every project can do kanban.

Top right in a project, you pick list, board or tiles. On the board, sections become columns: cards you drag around, dividers for fine structure. List and board show the same data — you switch the view, not the system. And a project you set up again and again you save as a template: structure, sections and tasks stay, everything time-related is left behind.

  • Drag columns
  • Move cards
  • Templates
  • Per device
10 · EVERYWHERE

From your wrist to your Mac.

On the iPad, the overview sits as a sidebar next to your project — and you drag tasks straight over into it, one or a whole selection. The Mac gets a menu bar, right-click menus and keyboard shortcuts. And the Watch shows what's still open today — checking things off and dictating included, with the count right on your watch face. Moving in takes five minutes: the import brings your lists over from Apple Reminders. And your iPhone’s Focus lets sections rest while “Personal” is on.

  • iCloud sync (optional)
  • Widgets
  • Complications
  • Siri & Shortcuts
  • Focus filter
  • Import from Reminders
  • “Minimal” style
  • Widgets in black
