Elmway
Tasks, Habits, and Notes in one iOS app
About
Elmway is a local‑first iOS app that lets you manage tasks, habits, and notes in one place. It works offline without requiring an account, but offers optional cloud backup and web sync. Habit tracking uses repeatable tasks and provides charts and insights, while events give reminders without a checklist. The app also supports structured markdown notes, alarms, themes, and more.
The case
Who it is for
Solo iOS users who want to manage tasks, habits and notes locally without an account.
What is broken today
Managing tasks, habits, and notes typically requires multiple apps or cloud accounts, making it difficult to keep data private, consistent, and accessible offline.
What it does about it
Elmway stores data locally on the device and does not require a login. Users can create tasks, set them to repeat for habit tracking, and view progress charts. Events can be added to remind users of important dates. Notes support markdown formatting and can be organized with custom tags.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike typical task managers that require a cloud account, Elmway is local‑first, letting users keep all data on the device by default. It merges habit tracking with task lists and structured notes, offering repeatable tasks with charts and markdown note support in a single app.
