Tasky

Tuesday, 20 October

What's left today, and nothing else.

Tasky is NorthStar's small companion for your phone. It opens on today's tasks, keeps your NorthStar lists close, and reminds you once, at the time you chose.

Tasky's Today screen: 3 left, with Email parents about the trip, Mark the vocabulary tests and Book the library slot still to do, and two tasks done.

A school day with Tasky in your pocket

Four moments where it helps. The rest of the day it stays closed.

  1. In the corridor before first lesson

    Open it and the day is already there: what's left, in the order you put it. Tick one and the line under the count grows a little. That is the whole reward.

  2. On the museum bus, no signal

    Add "Collect permission slips" anyway. Tasky saves it on the phone straight away and sends it to NorthStar when you are back online. Nothing waits for a spinner.

  3. Between the last two lessons

    You asked to be reminded to call the bus company at 14:15, so the phone tells you at 14:15. Once, on that day. Tick it done from the notification without opening the app. It doesn't nag, and it doesn't move to tomorrow.

  4. On the sofa, list empty

    A small card says the day is cleared, then fades. No confetti, no points, no badges. If you like to know your streak, it waits in Profile and nowhere else.

The same account as NorthStar

Tasky is not a second planner. It reads and writes the same tasks and lists as NorthStar on your iPad or computer, so a tick on the phone is a tick everywhere.
