A task manager with its own spine — nested projects, sub-tasks, saved filters, boards and a calendar — that reaches every Apple surface natively. Siri, Spotlight, widgets, the Watch and Focus filters, all first-party.
Apple Reminders is on every device you own and asks nothing of you, which is why you still use it. It also cannot hold a project with sections, a sub-task with progress, or a filter you save once and reuse. Past about thirty things it stops being a system and becomes a pile.
Move to a real task manager and you get the structure — and lose the Apple half. The widget goes generic, the Watch app is an afterthought, Spotlight finds nothing, and Siri stops being able to help. Goalzenix refuses the trade: its own store for the structure, native Apple surfaces for the reach.
One account, then every device you own is looking at the same list — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch and any browser.
“pay rent every 1st #Finance p1” becomes a repeating task in Finance at priority 1. Or say “remind me to…” to Siri and it arrives seconds later.
Projects and sections, sub-tasks, labels, start dates, and a filter you write once and keep.
You have almost certainly tried both halves of this. Reminders, because it is already there and Siri can reach it — then you outgrew it somewhere around the third project. And a proper task manager, which held the structure but turned your phone into a place where the Apple bits stopped working properly.
Goalzenix exists because that trade never made sense. There is no technical reason a task manager with real structure cannot also be a first-class Apple citizen. It just takes building both halves instead of wrapping someone else’s app.
Goalzenix is a task manager for people who live in Apple’s apps and have outgrown Apple Reminders. It keeps your tasks in its own store so they can hold the structure Reminders cannot — nested projects, sections, sub-tasks, saved filters, boards and a calendar — while reaching Siri, Spotlight, widgets, the Watch and Focus filters natively, the way a first-party app would. It also speaks MCP, so an assistant can work the same list you do.
No. Goalzenix keeps its tasks in its own store, so nothing you already have in the Reminders app is rewritten, reorganised or deleted. The one point of contact is optional: nominate a list as a letterbox and anything you say to Siri with “remind me to…” is imported and cleared from it, so the phrase you already use keeps working.
They stay, all of them. There are no volume caps to fall back below — your projects, filters and tasks are yours on the free plan too. What lapses is the assistant connector, shared projects and the full history. Nothing is deleted, nothing is locked, and you are never editing a list you can no longer add to.
Only one reason, and if it does not apply to you then do not move: Todoist is a web app with an iOS client, and Goalzenix is an Apple app that happens to have a web client. If the widget, the Watch, Spotlight, Focus filters and Siri matter to how you actually work, that difference is the whole product. The structure is comparable.
Yes. Your tasks live on the server so that every device and the web see the same list, and so that shared projects and the assistant connector can work at all. Signing in is one step and there is nothing to configure afterwards.
Goalzenix is an MCP server, so an assistant can list what is due, add what came up in conversation, reschedule, complete and search — against your list, with your sign-in, without you leaving the chat. It is a Pro feature.
Pro is for the two things that reach past one person: an assistant working your real list, and other people on it. Everything that makes Goalzenix a task manager is free, without a limit waiting for you.
