[GIVEAWAY] To celebrate the release of my task manager/calendar app on 2 new platforms (watchOS and visionOS), the Lifetime IAP is free for the next 36 hours!
EDIT: If you are using an iPhone running iOS 17, and experience a crash when editing items, please try updating to version 4.0.2. I apologise for the bug!
Hi r/apple,
About 4 months ago, I made a post introducing Yet Another Todo App (Yata), and the positive reception was extremely motivating. As a result, my goal of making a native app on every Apple platform (well, almost--sorry Apple TV!) has been reached much earlier than I ever anticipated!
To express my gratitude for this subreddit, the Lifetime IAP will be free for the next 36 hours! To redeem it, simply follow the steps below:
- Install Yata from the App Store
- Open Yata.
- Navigate to the Settings tab on iPhone, or through the (...) more button in the sidebar on iPad.
- Tap the banner at the top of the page to present the paywall.
- Tap "All Plans" at the bottom-left, and select the "Lifetime" option.
- If the deal has not expired, the price should be $0.00. Tap "Continue" to complete the purchase.
Please note that the IAP is only accessible on the iPhone and iPad apps.
If you are new to Yata, I've included parts of my previous post below to provide more details about the app:

Why should I try Yet Another Todo App?
Instead of listing all the features you’d expect from a todo app (yes, it has lists/projects/tags/subtasks, natural language processing, shortcuts integration, interactive widgets, iCloud sync, and all that jazz), here’s what I think makes Yata unique:
🗓️ Unified Calendar: View and manage your todos and calendar events in one place with the integrated Calendar view. You can manage your time at various resolutions by switching between the List, Day, 3-Day, 5-Day, Week, and Month views. You can also easily make plans and adapt to changes with intuitive drag and drop gestures to reschedule items on the Calendar.
🎨 Theming: Yata takes theming to a new level, offering an intuitive and delightful experience for exploring, customising, and managing various aesthetics to make the app uniquely yours. Yata allows you to customise the colours used throughout the app, including the widgets!
📥 Captures: Unlike many apps in this space, Yata allows you to create, store and manage non-actionable items. This encourages you to capture your thoughts in an unfiltered manner, without the cognitive burden of fleshing out the thought in the moment or the psychological effect of having "incomplete" tasks that aren’t actually completable.
Aren’t you going to be sherlock-ed soon?
While it is true that the built-in Calendar app will integrate Reminders and Events in iOS 18, I believe Yata still offers significant advantages over the native option:
- Duration: Unlike Reminders, Yata allows you to set a duration for your tasks, providing a more detailed time management approach.
- Differentiate Intent and Due Dates: Reminders only support a single date/time, making it hard to distinguish between when you want to do a task and its actual deadline. Yata supports both intent and due dates, giving you greater flexibility in planning.
- Day Templates: Yata's Routines feature allows you to create customisable day templates that can be easily loaded into your schedule to avoid repetitive setup and save time.
While these missing features might still be acceptable for many users, I hope that you will consider giving Yata a try, especially since it offers a generous free tier and an inexpensive lifetime option!
Pricing
Yata offers a generous free tier and an inexpensive lifetime option. Currently, the bulk of the app is completely free to use, while certain Pro features are literally free to trial (no need to start a subscription and remembering to cancel). The catch here is that they can only be "unlocked" for 24 hours at a time. For example, custom themes will be reset after 1 day of applying it, upon which you can simply reapply the theme for another day of usage.
Unlimited access to all Pro features can be purchased for just:
- USD 2 per month,
- USD 5 per year, or
- USD 10 lifetime
Please do check out Yata on the App Store, I'd love to hear your feedback and insights to help make the app even better!
