Your tasks and your calendar events in one list, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
For example, type "tomorrow at 8 dentist #personal": Charcal reads Tomorrow, at 08:00, label personal, and puts the task with tomorrow's, at the right time.
Type the task the way you would say it out loud. Charcal keeps the title and puts the day, time, repeat, deadline and label where they belong.
Your tasks and your Apple Calendar events share one list, each at its own time. You check off events just like tasks.
What needs doing today. Tasks left behind sit at the top, under Overdue.

To do today
Sparks are Charcal's points: you earn them by checking off tasks. When you check off today's last task, the sky at the top of the screen brightens like dawn and embers rise.
Try checking off the three tasks.
Dictate several tasks in a row: each pause adds one. The audio stays on the device.
Widgets on the Lock Screen too: right under the clock, how many tasks are left.
Say "Dictate to Charcal" and the app opens, ready to listen. It's in Shortcuts too.
From Safari, Notes or other apps: tap Share, then Charcal. The text becomes a task, link included.
Assign it "Write in Charcal": one press and the keyboard is already open.
Charcal connects to AI assistants through MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others read and write your tasks with your personal token. On the Mac there's a command line as well.
Ask what's on tomorrow, add, move and check off tasks by writing to the assistant you already use.
On the Mac, with Homebrew. It reads sentences like the app does, in English or Italian.

Charcal is native on all three. With an account your tasks sync; without one, they stay on the device you wrote them on. Requires iOS or iPadOS 26.1, or macOS 26.
Four gradients and eight mountains, in light and dark: you choose them in Settings, Appearance. With "Changes with the time of day" the background follows your day.
Aurora
Yes, for the whole beta and with every feature.
No. Without an account Charcal works in full and your tasks stay on the device. The account is there so you can find them on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Yes. You can type and check off tasks without a connection, and if you have an account, sync resumes by itself when the network is back. Dictation needs the network once, to download the language.
English and Italian. It starts in your device's language, and you can change it in Settings, General. Charcal reads sentences in the language you choose.
Yes, from Settings, Calendars. Reminders lists and Todoist projects become labels. If you import a second time, only what is missing comes in.
In Settings, Account, Delete account: type "delete" to confirm. The server deletes the account and its data right away, and backups expire within a week. Your tasks stay on the device.
