iPhone 1.0 public beta · App Store release in preparation
Why Modocus
A complete loop without turning your data into a ticket
Capture, planning, execution, and reflection connect naturally while preserving the control you expect from local software.
01
Free stays complete
Unlimited tasks and subtasks, up to 10 projects, 10 tags, and 30 memos, with one timer running at a time. Forecast, timers, memos, attachments, basic Review, backups, and exports are all free.
02
Plan through reflection
Today helps you choose the work, timers record real effort, Review brings back what slipped, and Stats show where your effort went.
03
Local-first by design
Core task data stays on your device and no Modocus account is required. Selected content leaves only when you choose a network feature.
Product capabilities
Designed around a real day, not a pile of tools
Five connected scenes, from catching a thought to finishing it and looking back.
Today & capture
See today first, then catch new thoughts quickly
Today keeps the work you arranged in one quiet list and can narrow it by project or tag. The bottom capture bar is always ready to search or create, while the full editor handles richer details.
✓Unlimited tasks and subtasks
✓English and Chinese natural-language dates, tags, and priorities
✓Filter Today by project or tag
Forecast & planning
See the calendar ahead, then decide when to begin
Forecast pairs a month calendar with a day-by-day view of what is coming. Due dates, planned starts, and surface dates stay distinct so deadlines and gentle reminders keep their meaning.
✓Forecast calendar included free
✓Due date, planned start, and surface date
✓Repeat on a schedule or after each completion
Timers & task detail
When work starts, the time record keeps up
Time any task; the timer keeps running while you are elsewhere, and Pro can time several tasks at once. Task detail keeps subtasks, notes, attachments, recurrence, and history in one context.
✓One timer at a time on Free; several at once with Pro
✓Actual time rolls up when work finishes
✓Markdown notes plus image and file attachments
Review
Go through what might slip, one card at a time
Review gathers tasks you have not touched in a while, work past its date, and projects that are parked or have no next step, then takes them one card at a time: already done, pick a date, later, or let it go. Pro adds project review cadence, weekly reminders, and Rhythm, which spots repeating tasks whose rule no longer matches what you actually do and offers a one-tap fix.
✓Untouched tasks, past-due work, and stalled projects
✓One decision per card, made on the spot
✓Pro: review cadence, weekly reminders, and Rhythm
Memos
Tasks end. What you learned stays.
A memo belongs to no single task and outlives the one it came from. Cite it from any task by writing its short marker in the notes, or save a passage from a task’s notes or journal as a memo.
✓A memo list with search and links, free
✓Cite a memo in task notes with its #id# marker
✓Save a note or journal entry as a memo
Also in Free
Waiting for
Note who or what a task is waiting on and see how long it has waited. The Waiting view gathers every hand-off and blocker.
Sequential projects
When steps have an order, only the next one is available and the rest queue up. Projects with no next step appear in Review.
A customizable Overview
Arrange view shortcuts, project cards, and the week ahead like widgets on an iPhone home screen.
Where your effort went
Stats show completions and timed hours by project for the last 7 or 30 days, with nothing extra to log.
Task locations
Search for a shop or an address, or drop a pin, to record where a task happens.
Your data stays yours
Export JSON or a zip with attachments and restore any time. Always free.
Plans & purchases
A complete free foundation, with depth when you need it
Free gives you the complete local task loop. Pro is a one-time purchase for deeper local tools.
Free
A complete local task loop with unlimited tasks.
FreeUse it for the long term
✓Unlimited tasks and subtasks
✓Up to 10 projects, 10 tags, and 30 memos; one timer at a time
✓Forecast, timers, memos, attachments, and basic Review
Tasks, projects, notes, attachments, timers, and event history remain local. Modocus needs no app account and includes no ads or in-app behavior-tracking SDK.
02
Location stays under your control
Optional task coordinates, addresses, and place names stay as local task data. Access to your current location in the foreground is requested only when you open and use the location picker. Apple Maps and the system reverse geocoder receive ordinary map and geocoding requests, and place searches you type go to Apple’s map search service.
FAQ
What you should know before choosing Modocus
When can I download Modocus?
iPhone 1.0 is in public beta on TestFlight: install TestFlight on your iPhone, then open the beta link at the top of this page to join. The App Store release is still in preparation; leave your email and we will send one message when it is available.
What are the limits of Free?
Tasks and subtasks are unlimited. Free includes up to 10 projects (completed and dropped projects do not count), 10 tags, and 30 memos, with one timer running at a time. Reaching a limit only stops you from creating more; existing data is never locked, and restoring or importing is never limited. Buying Pro removes these limits. Forecast, attachments, basic Review, backup, and export are all included in Free.
What does Pro include?
Pro is a one-time purchase that permanently unlocks deeper local features. It also includes new Pro features released within 12 months of purchase, and everything unlocked stays yours.
Where is my data stored? Do I need an account?
Core task data stays locally on your iPhone. No Modocus account is required. Backup, restore, and export are available in the app.
Which languages are supported?
The interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, and Turkish.
