How can we help?
How many tasks can I have?
Five on the free version, ten with Pro. Milestones inside a task don’t count toward that.
Why can’t I have more than ten?
Because the ceiling is the whole point of the app, not a paywall I’m hoping you’ll push through. If you need to carry a hundred things, that’s fine, but a different app will serve you better.
What happens when I close a task instead of completing it?
Both take it off your list and open the slot back up. The difference is what’s kept afterward. A completed task moves to the Resolved page with its milestones, so you can look back on it or bring it back later if it turns out you weren’t done. A closed task is removed for good, which is the right thing when something has stopped mattering and you don’t want a record of it hanging around.
Can I undo a complete or close?
A completed task can be brought back from the Resolved page, either carrying on with its original age or starting over as a fresh task from today, milestones included. A closed task can’t be brought back. It takes a swipe and then a tap on the Close button, so it’s hard to do by accident, but once it’s done it’s done.
Does Unresolved sync across devices?
No. Your list lives on the phone you made it on, and that’s the design rather than a gap in it. There’s no account and no server on my end, which is also why there’s nothing to sign up for.
Is there an iPad or Mac version?
No, it’s iPhone only.
Can I export my data?
No. The app has no accounts and no server, so there’s nothing on my end that could hand your data back to you, and I don’t intend to add accounts. Your tasks are on your phone, and I don’t have a copy.
What does the app do with my data?
Your tasks are stored on your phone. I can’t see them, I don’t collect them, and there’s no analytics running in the app. The only thing the app itself sends to a server is the Pro purchase check, which goes through Apple and RevenueCat and sees an anonymous ID and whether you’ve bought Pro, nothing about your tasks. If you’ve turned on sharing diagnostics with developers in iOS Settings, Apple may also send me a crash report when the app fails. The Privacy page has the whole picture.
How is this different from Things, Todoist, or Reminders?
Those apps are built to capture and organize everything you might ever do, and they’re good at it, so keep using whichever one you have. Unresolved is for the handful of things on that list you’re actually going to deal with, and it only holds a few at a time so they can’t get buried again.
I can’t add a task. Why?
You’re at the ceiling. Complete or close something and the Add button comes back.
Why aren’t there tags, folders, projects, due dates, or recurring tasks?
Because those are the features that turn a task app into a backlog, and the backlog is the thing I was trying to get away from. I left them out on purpose.
