Questions
How do I join the beta?
Sign up on the beta program page. Testers get early builds and a direct line to tell us what to fix.
Why Kailos over Google Tasks?
Google Tasks keeps a list. Kailos gives every task a length in minutes, so it can show the time you actually finished (rings, streaks, insights, a weekly Wrap), split big projects into daily sessions and remind you before things are due. Your data is never used for advertising. See the full comparison.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a Google or Apple sign-in the first time you open it. After that it opens straight into your lists and works offline, syncing when you're back online.
What does Kailos see in my Google or Apple account?
Only your email, to tie your data to you (Apple may give us a private relay address instead). It never reads your mail, contacts or files.
What if two devices change the same task?
The newest edit wins, on every device.
What happens to my tasks from before accounts?
Nothing is lost. Your library links to your account the first time you sign in.
How do updates work?
Kailos checks when it opens and from the menu. Your data is stored separately, so updates never touch your tasks.
Why is it called Kailos?
It blends kairos (καιρός), the right or opportune moment, with telos (τέλος), the end something is working toward. The app is about doing the right thing at the right time, with every task aimed at a goal. It was called Tasker before.
Is there a phone version?
Yes, for Android and iPhone. Both are in beta, and you can join the beta to try them.
