About Hobba: To-Do List & Kanban
Hobba clears your head instead of filling it. Four lists that sort themselves — Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Someday — and a log that shows what you got done. What slips doesn’t vanish into nothing: anything overdue sits at the top of Today the next morning. PROJECTS THE WAY YOU NEED THEM • Projects with sections, notes, a deadline, favourite tiles and colours of their own • Three views, switchable per list: a list, a kanban board, or a grid of tiles • On the board: drag columns, move cards, set dividers • Tags that tasks inherit from their project — and hand back when they move; every tag gets its own list in the overview • Your own smart lists from tag, project and time range — selectable in widgets too • Templates: set up a recurring project once, create it again and again • Trash: anything deleted can be brought back for 30 days TOGETHER • Share a project: an invitation by message, and both of you see and edit the same thing — the groceries at home, the board at work • Attachments come along • Pick “read only” when inviting: then the other side really cannot change a thing • It runs through your own private iCloud — no account with us EVERYTHING IN ITS TIME • Your top 3 each morning: Today asks once what you’ll start with — or pick them the night before • Pick a task up and drop it: a bar opens along the edge — date, project, focus, tags, delete; behind Upcoming, a calendar across five weeks • “One thing at a time”: 5, 15 or 25 minutes on a single task, with a timer on the Lock Screen • Repeats: “every week”, “every two weeks”, “every second Tuesday of the month” or “three days after you tick it off” • Reminders with a time that move along when the task changes day • Reminders at a place, on arriving or on leaving — and every place appears in the overview with what is waiting there • Calendar events right inside Today and Upcoming, as a band with the gaps between them • Upcoming as a week grid if you prefer • “Evening” as a pane of its own — and from a time you choose, Today asks once what is left • What you finish stays, struck through, and moves into the log when the day turns ON EVERY DEVICE • iPhone (iPhone Duo too), iPad (sidebar, multitasking), Mac (menu bar, every project in its own window) and Apple Watch • Complications for the watch face: Today, a list of your choice, the next reminder — tick off on your wrist • Widgets in every size — Today, projects, progress, tick off right in the widget • Appearance, accent colour and background are yours to choose — right into the widgets and onto the watch face • Sync through iCloud: optional, and off by default QUICK WAYS IN • Just write it down: “dentist tomorrow at 10” — the day and the reminder set themselves (can be switched off) • Dictation: the microphone in the entry sheet turns speech into text on your device; with Apple Intelligence one sentence becomes several tasks (iOS 26 and later) • Tasks from photos, PDFs and text — read on your device, and only what you tap is kept • Let the Inbox be sorted: a suggestion for every task about which project it belongs to • Paste a list, get several tasks — each line with a date of its own • Import from Apple Reminders — pick a list, pick a project, done • Share sheet: turn anything, from any app, into a task • Siri and Shortcuts • Dictation on your wrist PAY ONCE, DONE Hobba is free to download and free to use at its core — with up to three projects. The bigger things (unlimited projects, board and tiles, repeats, Watch, all widgets, attachments, Apple Intelligence) are unlocked for good by a single purchase. No subscription. PRIVATE No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics services. Your data lives on your device — and, if you switch sync on, in your own private iCloud. Nowhere else. Whatever Hobba recognises — spoken, photographed, suggested — it recognises on your device. Hobba is fully available in German, English, French and Japanese.
What’s new
Version 1.10 · Updated November 3, 2026
Closed projects now tidy themselves into the Log, and Hobba starts more smoothly. CLOSED PROJECTS MOVE TO THE LOG A closed project now leaves the overview and appears in the Log on the day you closed it. When it moves is set by the same setting as for tasks: Settings › View › Move completed to Log. “Log project now” in the project’s menu puts it away right away. In the Log, tap the check to reopen it, or tap the name to see the project. CLOSE A PROJECT FROM INSIDE IT The project header now shows the same ring as the overview. Tap it to close the project, with the same question if tasks are still open, and tap again to reopen it. In ••• it’s “Close project”, and afterwards “Reopen”. MOVE SEVERAL AT ONCE Select several tasks in Upcoming and you can now drag them to another day together. The day you’re over lights up. FASTER Hobba starts more smoothly: what isn’t on screen when it opens is only built once you need it. Dragging tasks is now as smooth as dragging the “+”, and a quick drag no longer turns one into a subtask by accident. Widgets no longer load everything you’ve completed. And search now finds “cafe” in “café”. FIXED On the Mac, “Choose File” in attachments hung, and the list lagged behind the pointer while dragging the “+”. In tiles, “Evening” showed up empty, and the “+” couldn’t aim into an empty Today. Picking your Top 3 brought up the selection bar. A selection dragged onto “Tomorrow” or “Delete” stayed put. A row’s menu near the bottom ran off the screen, and the large Week widget had gaps. And if you have a great many reminders, the upcoming ones now reliably arrive. And reordering in Today no longer pulls project tasks out of their sections.
