Optional dagstack Cloud · internal TestFlight
Current internal TestFlight build: 1.2 (18). It is available to invited internal testers and includes optional Settings → Feedback. Build 1.2 (12) has been submitted for App Review and is awaiting Apple’s review. It is not yet publicly available on the App Store. Free use remains local and needs no account. Optional dagstack Cloud offers personal cloud sync and shared groups through a one-month auto-renewing Apple subscription. The US price is $2.99 per month; Apple shows the localized price before purchase.
Sign in and copy existing content
Open Settings → dagstack Cloud and use Sign in with Apple. Sign in with the same Apple Account on another device to open the same cloud account. Choose Copy personal tasks to my account to copy existing personal tasks and events. Dates and history are retained, and the original library remains on the device.
After signing in, choose Subscribe or Restore purchases. Cloud sync and every sharing control require an active subscription; free and signed-out mode does not show Personal/Shared selectors, Partners, shared task actions, or shared settings. The subscription renews monthly until canceled. Read Apple's Standard EULA or manage the subscription.
With an active subscription, open Partners → New group, give the group a name, then use Invite people to share a one-use invitation link. Use Join group to enter a link or code. In Settings, select the group shown in Shared and independently choose which groups appear when Include shared tasks is on in Personal. You can belong to multiple groups. To move an old iCloud shared space, its owner must first coordinate with partners and stop the old Apple share. Then create a cloud space and choose Copy the closed iCloud space. Invite partners and assign tasks again; old iCloud identities are not transferred.
Subtasks
Add subtasks when creating or editing a task, then expand the task to check them individually. Checking every subtask completes the parent task; unchecking one reopens it.
Sync, interruptions and conflicts
Changes save on the device first. Keep the app open and connected for sync, or choose Update. Settings lets you set the automatic update interval in minutes, with a minimum of one minute. The Update control shows the last successful sync time. Interrupted work is retained and retries when you reopen the app. Cloud sync does not promise immediate updates while the app is closed. Conflicts show your device’s version and the cloud version so you can choose. If access to a shared space ends, retained unsent edits can be kept as new personal copies. Supabase updates do not currently use background push notifications.
Sign out or delete the cloud account
Signing out returns to the original device library and retains unsynced account work for the next sign-in. To remove cloud data, choose Delete cloud account and data, complete fresh Apple authentication, then review the final deletion confirmation. This also deletes every shared space you own for all members. The original device library remains separate. If deletion is interrupted, use the offered retry action. Removing the app alone does not delete the cloud account. Read the cloud privacy details.
Account deletion does not cancel dagstack Cloud. Use Apple subscription settings to manage or cancel it, and use Restore purchases if you later recreate the same dagstack account with the same Apple identity.
Using dagstack
dagstack works on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Personal tasks can stay on the device without an account. In the original local library, partner sharing uses iCloud. For version 1.2, use the dagstack Cloud subscription and invitation steps above.
How do Stack and Today work?
Capture tasks in Stack, then use a task’s menu to move it to Must, Should, or Want for Today. You can also capture directly in Today. Use the menu to edit a task, drag between Today’s cards to change its intention, or drop a focus task onto the bottom Stack tab to return it to Stack. Use Edit to reorder tasks.
What happens to unfinished tasks tomorrow?
Enable Return focus tasks to Stack in Today → options → Settings and choose a daily time. Unfinished Must, Should and Want tasks return to Stack; Done and Archive are unchanged. Personal has its own schedule, and the shared-space owner controls a separate Shared schedule. Schedules use their saved time zone. If the app is closed, the change appears when it opens. Tasks selected after the reset remain in Today. New or changed schedules start at the next occurrence. With reset off, yesterday’s unfinished selections remain available for review.
Can I see personal and shared tasks together?
In version 1.2, these controls appear after dagstack Cloud is active. Both tabs then have Personal and Shared views. Turn on Include shared tasks in Personal to see both kinds together. Today and Stack remember that choice separately. You can also hide an individual shared task from Personal using its menu. This changes only your view, not your partner’s tasks.
Does my private Stack sync across my devices?
In the original local library, personal tasks stay on that installation and shared tasks use iCloud. In version 1.2, signing in and maintaining an active dagstack Cloud subscription enables Supabase sync for personal tasks too. Other shared-space members cannot see those personal tasks. Deleting the app removes local data and unsynced changes.
Sharing in the original iCloud library
These instructions describe earlier 1.1 builds. Version 1.2 hides sharing controls without an active dagstack Cloud subscription; current sharing uses the Cloud instructions above.
How do I add a partner?
Sign into iCloud on each device. On one device, open Partners → Add partner, choose the recipient in Apple’s sharing sheet, and send the invitation. The recipient opens the invitation to join. You can invite multiple partners to one shared space.
Join an existing space before creating a separate shared space or adding Shared tasks on the receiving device. dagstack does not merge existing spaces. Private tasks can stay in place when you join.
What can a partner see or change?
Partners see only shared tasks, including their titles, notes, assignments, daily selections, and completion state. Tasks created in Personal remain private until you choose Share with partners… and confirm.
Everyone in the space can edit, complete, archive, recover, or delete shared tasks. These are collaborative tasks: completing or deleting one changes it for everyone. Shared Today lets you view Everyone, You, or a partner; tasks assigned to Together appear for both people.
Why has a shared change not appeared yet?
Edits save on your device first. Tap Update at the top of Today or Stack for an immediate refresh and the time of the last successful sync. You can also use Partners → Sync now. Sync runs while the app is active and when iOS delivers a background update; background delivery can be delayed or combined. The Partners screen shows connection errors.
Check that both devices use the expected Apple Accounts. Switching accounts pauses access to the old account’s shared data. If two people edit the same task offline, dagstack resolves the whole task when they reconnect; it does not keep a separate edit history.
Can I move tasks between Personal and Shared?
Long-press a task and drag it onto Personal or Shared, then confirm. Drag onto Must, Should, or Want to change its intention. The task menu offers the same choices without dragging.
Making a shared task personal creates a private copy and removes the active shared version for everyone. The old shared copy remains in Recently Deleted for seven days. Future private edits stay private.
How do I choose notifications?
Open Today → options → Settings, or Settings in Partners. Choose separate alerts for shared tasks being added, edited, marked done, or deleted. Changes save immediately when you toggle them; allow notifications in iOS when asked. These choices apply only to this device. Marking a task done uses the completion switch, independently of ordinary edits. The former daily review reminders are removed automatically when you open the updated app.
Shared alerts arrive after changes synchronize, so iOS background limits can delay them. First-time history, repeat syncs, your own changes and automatic cleanup do not create partner alerts. Notification previews can show task titles; adjust previews in iOS Settings.
How do I stop sharing?
Open Partners → Manage partners to use Apple’s sharing controls. The owner can manage access or stop sharing; a participant can leave. An owner keeps local shared tasks after stopping sharing. A participant who explicitly leaves removes the shared cache from that installation while keeping private tasks.
Removing someone’s access stops future sync, but cannot retrieve copies they already downloaded or saved elsewhere. Their device can retain previously downloaded content until they leave or remove the app.
Done, Archive & recovery
Open Today → Done → Done limits to keep completed tasks for a number of days or retain only the newest number of tasks. The default is 30 days. Private and shared tasks have separate limits; the shared-space owner sets the shared limit for everyone.
To keep a completed task without automatic expiry, choose Archive from its menu. Use Select → Archive selected to save several at once. You can find them in the Archive screen from Done. Return to Done starts a fresh age window and keeps the original completion date; count limits still apply.
Expired and manually deleted tasks go to Recently Deleted for seven days. During that time, recover a completed task to Archive or restore a task to Stack. After the recovery period, cleanup permanently removes private tasks and clears shared task contents. Shared cleanup waits for a successful sync on the owner’s device, so it may happen later while that device is offline or unable to refresh.
Send feedback
In internal TestFlight 1.2 (18), open Settings → Feedback or About → Send feedback. No account or subscription is needed. Your title, message and app version/build go through oohaa to the developer’s private dagstack pipeline in mempit. Tasks and account details are not attached. Please avoid sensitive information.
Drafts survive navigation and reopening the app. If delivery cannot be confirmed, retry the unchanged message safely. Editing it starts a new message. You can also use the website feedback form. The submitted App Review build 12 does not include the native form.
