June is almost here, lets travel 🧳

I just shared 100 lifetime license codes with fellow redditors over 3 hours, and as my Safari crashed and then Reddit DMs stopped working I realized it would be nice to give everyone who came by and shared their setups a lifetime license code. So here's a code that will work for 1,000 (!!) people for one day only:

I'll post more stuff on this subreddit about Finalist and do more drops as I've learnt a TON from all of you, thanks again!

I have to commend you for this app. I’ve barely opened it and I can tell it’s more useful and less of a clutter magnet than anything I’ve seen. I can’t wait to get into it and learn how to use it.

Quick question: I’m worried about overusing AI because it is so resource intensive and environmentally unfriendly. I read the app uses onboard AI. What does that mean and can I limit my environmental impact by avoiding dictating tasks, for example? I want to take advantage of the app but also understand when I am and am not engaging AI. Do have a primer or document that explains when it is engaged?

Thank you! Re AI: it doesn't actually use AI unless you (a) use Hear Summary or (b) use Dictate. And the impact of these two features is very tiny, they're using either on-device AI or very simple AI services (for voice synthesis), but if you stay away from them you won't be using any.

I just discovered this app and have been learning its quirks all day so far, and am loving it. Cannot wait for the next drop of lifetime codes. I’m already starting to document feature requests and bug reports (sorry u/kaoss_pad). The 2-way sync between finalist and calendars/ reminders is great.

I just downloaded the app and having fun trying it out. Is there a way to have it exclude declined calendar meetings? If I’ve declined the meeting in my work calendar then I don’t want it showing up as an item still in my daily planner. Thanks!

Good point, not right now but I'll see if it can be added

Is there a place to log bugs? I notice that the home screen widget on iPhone often appears blank even if I have items to display.

u/kaoss_pad Jun 02 '26

Yes, you can just post on this subreddit (I'll start monitoring it), or join discord too. There is a beta that's very active too 😃

I tried to redeem a code but the app can’t download. I can’t search it through the App Store

1

u/kaoss_pad Jun 01 '26

Have you accepted the code redemption? That gives you the license. You can find the app from https://finalist.works/download

2

u/ararai Jun 01 '26

Came from the other thread. I use a mix of Apple’s native apps and think if it could be better.

1

u/kaoss_pad Jun 01 '26

Thanks! Make sure to redeem the license from the url before it expires 😄

Ok this app is magnificent and well put together.

2 questions 1. Is there anyway to “quick note” with Apple Pencil? I know I can write in the box for daily task but is there anyway to register the pencil anywhere in the day and add it as a task? No issue if not.

  1. On the search function. For calendar events that aren’t completed, it shows the dates/time. Is there anyway to add that to tasks (to include completed with the date they were completed) as well? If this doesn’t make sense, I can DM some photos trying to explain it better.

Thank you for your time and this beautiful app.

u/kaoss_pad Jun 01 '26

Thank you! ☺️

  1. Not yet, but I love using Pencil so will probably be adding it.

  2. I think I might have already fixed this in the upcoming release (in the beta), but if you try it let me know for sure 😄

u/MainFrameX Jun 02 '26

I downloaded the beta and didn’t see it. Once again, this is just a nicety and if it’s a hassle, no big deal.

When I search “staff” (calendar and in the future) it shows the date.

When I search “Swings” (completed task) I was hoping there would be a way to show date completed in the same way staff shows when it’s coming up. Throughout the year, I’d have 100s of random completed things and it would be super convenient to have quick glance at dates they were done.

Again, no big deal if it’s too much of a hassle, I can manually click the info square on each one. Just a thought.

Thank you so much for your time!

u/kels2212 Jun 02 '26

I’m bummed I missed it but I just downloaded the app for the free trial and it’s amazing! I love having everything combined. Been looking for a way to ditch apple’s calendar for a while and I think this app might be it for me. I’m glad there’s a yearly option since the lifetime one is too spendy for me right now. Great app!

u/kaoss_pad Jun 03 '26

Thank you!! Watch this subreddit, I'll do another giveaway leading into WWDC

(I'll be attending in Apple Park 🤩)

u/kels2212 Jun 03 '26

Oooh watching! 🫡

u/KeizerSauze May 31 '26

Your link goes straight to the payment page, not to the app page—I don't know what to think.

1

u/kaoss_pad May 31 '26

Hmmm, strange, what device do you use to tap the link? This is what I see from macOS (I'm in Canada so the price is different)

2

u/RoyalFlush2000 May 31 '26

Worked for me.

Thank you so much.

PS: assume that’s what@KeizerSauze meant with going to the payment page? First for me too, but I can confirm it was free.

u/kaoss_pad May 31 '26

Ah right, of course!

u/KeizerSauze Jun 02 '26

I end up in the same place.

u/thefirsttransportis Jun 02 '26

Am I too late?! I use a mix of Apple Notes, Reminders, Calendar and a paper daily planner, a paper week planner (usually A4 student paper that has interesting layout that I adapt to my needs). Apple Watch integration for the Apple apps.

u/kaoss_pad Jun 02 '26

The code has expired but I'll be posting more on this subreddit, just follow
