What’s New

News from the nest.

What changes with each version, in plain words. No “bug fixes and improvements”.

No fixed date

What comes next

This is what I'm working on after launch. I'll only name a date once it's done.

RoadmapWhat comes next

  • Plan together. Share tasks with your family, each person with their own Apple Account. Through iCloud, no Nestwerk account.
  • Type like you talk. Apple Intelligence also understands typed sentences. “Buy milk, bread and eggs” becomes one task with three subtasks. On device, optional.

v1.0.2

November 2026

Nestwerk 1.0.2

A small update that feels good: checking off is more fun, and Nestwerk understands more.

New

  • Checking off feels good. The check mark bounces and the task glides away.
  • After an update, Nestwerk shows what's new on colorful notes.

Improved

  • Times without "o'clock". "at 9" or "at nine" is enough.
  • A name between two weekdays assigns the task, for example "every Monday Anna and every Thursday".
  • After you check off a repeating task, the note shows the next date.
  • Edit window. The check mark on the right saves, Done and Delete sit on the left - the same on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
  • While you type, ⏰ after the date shows that an alarm will be set.
  • Ukrainian. Repeats like "щопонеділка" are recognized.

Fixed

  • A weekday is only highlighted green when it actually counts.
  • iPhones with iOS 18 no longer show an alarm symbol, they get a notification instead.
  • "New in Nestwerk" in Settings showed an empty page.

v1.0.1

November 2026

Nestwerk 1.0.1

The first update. It's mostly about repeats and “Today”.

New

  • Check off early. Check off a repeating task on one of its days before it's due, and it counts for today. The planned date stays.

Improved

  • Several days. “Every Monday and every Thursday” is understood, typed or spoken, in all 10 languages. Before, the second day stayed in the title.
  • Today stays Today. A task due today stays under “Today” until midnight, in red once its time has passed.

Fixed

  • Editing. Opening a task no longer changes its repeat on its own.
  • Next date. After you change a repeat, it's always in the future.

Nestwerk is on the App Store

Today's the day: Nestwerk is on the App Store. For iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, in ten languages. Free, no ads, no account.

It all started at our kitchen table. Mariia and I were looking for an app that fits our family life, between work, everyday life and daycare. There wasn't one. So I built it, and we tested every version in our own daily life.

Thank you to everyone who tested over the past weeks and reported bugs. Nestwerk wouldn't be this far without you.

If you like Nestwerk, a rating on the App Store helps other families find it. And if something is missing or not working, write to me at support@nestwerkfamily.app.

v1.0

Fall 2026

Nestwerk 1.0 is here

The first version for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Included from the start:

TasksWrite and speak

  • Write instead of filling in forms. The day, time and repeat are recognized as you type.
  • Dictation. Say several tasks in one go, check them before they're created.
  • Siri. Tasks by voice command, with a confirmation.
  • Apple Intelligence. Dictation and Siri understand everyday sentences, lists become subtasks, Genmoji as a picture for family members. All on the device, optional.
  • Subtasks and notes. Packing lists right on the task, reorderable.
  • Alarm instead of a notification. Full screen, even in silent mode. On iOS 26 and later.

FamilyPeople and topics

  • Family in color. People with a picture and color, one tap filters the list.
  • Topics in color. On a person's page the circle in front of a task shows which topic it belongs to.
  • Pick the topic right away. When you create a task, the topic sits right below the person.

ListList and calendar

  • Coming up. Everything with a later date in one section, collapsed with a one-line preview.
  • Open items. Anything without a date gets its own section. Drag it by the handle into your order.
  • Week and month. Tasks as colored notes you can move with your finger.

DevicesiPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch

  • Mac. With menus and keyboard shortcuts: ⌘N new task, ⌘F search, ⌘1 to ⌘4 for the views. Drag tasks onto a person or a topic with the mouse.
  • iPad. A sidebar with family, search and new task. Today as a timeline.
  • Apple Watch. Today, details and checking off on your wrist.
  • iPhone Duo. Closed, the familiar list; open, two pages. Half-open, nothing sits on the fold, and an open task stays open while you fold.
  • One look. Light paper with a hint of mint, slate in dark mode, the same on every device.

WidgetsWidgets

  • Widgets. Small and medium, filterable by person, from iOS 18.
  • Check off in the widget. One tap on the circle and the task is crossed out. Tasks with an alarm are checked off in the app, so the alarm is really off.

BasicsBasics

  • Accessibility. Large text, VoiceOver, light and dark. Subtasks work with VoiceOver too.
  • iCloud and backup. Optional sync, backup as a file.
  • Ten languages from day one.
