# NowThis

> NowThis is a privacy-first, self-hosted Nextcloud task manager for iOS. Local-first. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays yours.

NowThis is an open-source iOS task manager built natively in Swift, SwiftUI, and SwiftData. It seamlessly syncs with any CalDAV server (including Nextcloud) while keeping your data 100% under your control. Manage to-dos, set geofence reminders, link journal entries, and stay organized — all without corporate clouds.

## App Status: Coming Soon to the App Store

NowThis is currently in development and will be available on the App Store soon. The source code is freely available on GitHub under the GPL v3 license.

## Feature Highlights

- **Local & Synced Modes:** Use Vault Mode for a purely offline experience, or connect to a CalDAV server (Nextcloud, etc.) to sync across devices.
- **Subtasks:** Break big tasks into manageable pieces with full subtask hierarchies for complex projects.
- **Geofence Reminders:** Location-based task notifications (e.g., "Remind me when I get home").
- **Reliable CalDAV Sync:** Robust background sync with ETag-based conflict detection to prevent silent overwrites.
- **Journal Links:** Attach journal entries to tasks for extended context.
- **Native Performance:** Built from the ground up with SwiftUI and SwiftData for lightning-fast responsiveness.
