Highlights

Made for
family life.

A few things that make everyday life easier with Nestwerk.

The week view: tasks as colored notes for each day

Big on iPad and Mac

The same tasks as on your iPhone, via iCloud with the same Apple Account. Plus a sidebar, menus and keyboard shortcuts. On the Mac you drag a task onto a person or a topic with the mouse.

Topics in color

Work, family, school: every topic has its color. On a person's page the circle in front of a task shows where it belongs.

Open items, in your order

Anything without a date lands at the top of the open items. Drag it by the handle to where it belongs.

Check off in the widget

One tap on the circle and the task is crossed out. The app doesn't have to open for that.

How it works

Four ways
to a task.

Typed on the go, and the appointment is set. No form, no required fields: Nestwerk picks up the day, time and repeat while you're still typing.

“tomorrow 6 pm” becomes an appointment
“every Tuesday” becomes a repeat
“alarm” sets an alarm instead of a notification (iOS 26 and later)

Tap the microphone and talk about what's coming up. Say “new task” to start the next one and “add” to create them all. Before that, you see every line and can fix it.

Speech is recognized right on your iPhone, nothing goes to a server
“… with Emma” assigns the task to the right person
Works with Siri too: “New task in Nestwerk”, with a confirmation before anything is created

With Apple Intelligence, Nestwerk also understands what's hard to put into rules. The language model runs right on your iPhone, with no account and no internet.

Dictation and Siri pick up the person, day, time and repeat from completely normal sentences
Lists become subtasks
Genmoji as a picture for every family member
A bonus, not a requirement: without Apple Intelligence everything works as usual

Gym bag, groceries, vacation: subtasks live right on the task. Type, return, the next one. The note next to it keeps track of what matters.

Drag to reorder, swipe to delete
The counter in the list shows how far along you are
Check them off on Apple Watch too
Typing a new task, with the day and time highlighted in green

How Nestwerk reads along

The people overview: every family member with photo, color and open tasks
The Nestwerk home screen: the family as a row of photos, today's tasks below

For everyone who belongs

Everyone gets
their own color.

Tap a face, and the list shows only that person's day. Every family member has their own picture and color, set up in a minute, with no invitation and no sign-up. Anyone with a lot on their plate can sort it into topics: work, family, school. With iCloud sync, the list is on all your devices signed in to the same Apple Account. It can't be shared yet with family members who have their own Apple Account.

Example view: this is how your family could look.

Everywhere

In the calendar, on your wrist,
on the Home Screen.

The week view: tasks as colored notes for each day
The month view: a calendar with colored dots and the notes for the selected day

Week and month

Your week as a pinboard.

One look shows who's up when. Every task is a note in the person's color, overdue ones get a red edge. Drag notes to another day, or switch the grid to the month.

Nestwerk on Apple Watch: today's tasks
Details on Apple Watch: note and subtasks
Filtering by person on Apple Watch

Apple Watch

Check it off on your wrist.

Today's tasks on your watch, filtered by person if you like. A swipe shows the note and subtasks, a tap checks it off, even with your iPhone still in your pocket.

Widgets

Without opening the app.

A glance at your phone is enough: what's on today is right on your Home Screen. For the whole family or just one person.

Ten languages

Understood, however you write.

Ten languages, and in every one Nestwerk recognizes the day, time and repeat. Not translated, but understood: even when two languages are spoken side by side at home.

Private from the start

What you write
stays with you.

Nestwerk has no server. There's no place your plans could end up, not even with me.

The details are in the privacy policy. Because nobody pays for your data, Nestwerk is carried by those who choose to support it.

No account, no sign-up, no email address

No ads, no trackers, no usage statistics

Dictation and Siri run on the device

Sync only through your own iCloud, optional and can be turned off

Why the name?

Nest

The family. Home, where it's warm and everyone feels at ease.

werk

German for work - something you build together. And it hides in “Netzwerk”, German for network: everyone connected.

Put together, that's Nestwerk: a place where a family carries everyday life together.

About us and contact

From the kitchen table,
not an office.

Viktor and Mariia

“No calendar fit, no to-do app either: too much office, too little family.”

The idea came from Mariia: an app to get the juggling between work, everyday life and daycare under control, simple and clear. She couldn't find one anywhere.

Viktor built it. Mariia tried every version in everyday life and said what was missing, what got in the way and what had to be simpler. Many of the ideas are hers. Together we tinkered and tested until Nestwerk could do what we need. That includes Nestfunk: just say the task, done.

We hope Nestwerk helps other families who manage everyday life with kids just like us: turning chaos into a plan.
