    OmmiQ is a simple to-do list and day planner for personal use, built to sit quietly in the background while you work through your tasks. The core app is free with no ads and no tracking, and the few optional extras are one-time purchases rather than a subscription.

    Tasks go in from a single line of text: type something like "buy milk tomorrow 3pm #groceries" and OmmiQ picks out the date, time and category. Inbox, Today and Scheduled views keep the day in order, and the app installs to your phone or desktop as a progressive web app, with no app store involved.

    Key benefits:

    • Natural-language quick add turns one typed line into a dated, categorised task
    • Smart views for Inbox, Today and Scheduled keep each day focused
    • Recurring tasks and subtasks handle daily, weekly and monthly routines
    • Custom categories with colours and emojis make lists easy to scan
    • Instant search across active and completed tasks
    • One-time extras such as a week view or task streaks, never a subscription
    • Data export and a trash bin with restore keep your tasks in your hands

    OmmiQ is run by Dennis Peld as a registered sole proprietorship in Berlin, Germany, and is self-funded with no investors. The app, API and database run on a server in Frankfurt am Main, rented from Hostinger, with payments through Mollie in the Netherlands and account emails sent through Proton in Switzerland. There is no analytics or error-reporting service. Push reminders are optional, and when switched on they pass through the browser vendor's push service, which means Google or Apple in the United States for Chrome and Safari users.

    Ideal for individuals who want a calm, private daily planner without a monthly fee or a team-collaboration feature set they will never use.

Is Google Tasks GDPR-compliant?
Tasks are held by Google LLC in Mountain View, under United States jurisdiction. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Google is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
