Tired of Others Pushing their Advertising to You?
Keep Your Data to Yourself, it is Your Data
Have you been in one of these situations? You bought a computer, several apps and browsers are already installed, ready for you to use them and steal your info? How many times when you want to use a simple application, that application or software requires you to create an account and identify you with a phone number, email, name and other personal info? These apps may be free, but in the background they use and share your data with big advertisers. Next thing you know is your browser, app, email and phone number get blasted with a multitude of advertising to the point that they become a nuisance. In today's stressful world do we need even more stress?
Do you know that pretty much all companies now share part of your data to the highest bidder, mostly for advertising purposes.
DeTask was created with the specific scope in mind that the data is yours. There is no account to be created, no advertising, no data sharing, no centralization. You just install the app and use it, no other nonesense account creation is needed. Best of all, this app is free to use, it is a gift to you. It is created with the intent to make the world better, to free you from the surveillance of big companies and give you the freedom to keep all the data to yourself.
You can still share the data if you wish, but in a controlled way, at your own choosing and without intermediaries. More than that, you have direct control about deleting your data at a push of a button.
Enjoy!

Data Security & Privacy
Independent App
- The most secure To-Do App, by not requiring you to store any info on the cloud and no account registration is needed. This is an Independent App, making sure the big companies are not spying on you or marketing your data. This keeps your data private.
Takes Privacy Seriously
- Secure Storage of Data. Main data is stored in just three files: ltodolist.txt for the tasks, ltodonotext.txt for the notes and ltodolistwhiteboard.png for the whiteboard. Client and Team Members databases are stored locally. This provides great security as these files as well as the client and team member databases are located on your computer and the application provides full control of their data retention including functionality to destroy your stored data as needed. No user registration whatsoever.
- We are not storing your data in the cloud and not transferring info over the Internet unless you use the Share or Sync functionality buttons. Even then your data is stored in your private iCloud. (*) When using Share and Sync functionality refer to your Apple iCloud account privacy information.
- Sending Schedules and messages via SMS functionality uses your Twilio account you configured in Settings. All these settings are stored in the local application settings. (*) When using SMS sending functionality refer to your Twilio account for privacy information.
Optional Private iCloud Storage
- You can still sync the data to the iCloud securely if desired with the scope to back it up or to share it on other computers using the same account, like using it inside a company with sharing within employees using the company iCloud account. This data resides only in the private section of either your or your business iCloud account being completely safe. You may decide to not sync data with the iCloud though and keep it only on your computer. The Sync with iCloud buttons are only one click away if needed.
Advanced Tracking
- Each task can be tracked by a unique key which is automatically created.
