#### Why are these actions not just part of your [Actions](/actions) app?

Apple prevents any app that includes AI-related functionality to be available in China. I didn't want the Actions app to be unavailable in China just because of one action.

#### How is this better than the “Ask ChatGPT” action provided by the official ChatGPT app?

This one works on macOS too, supports longer text, has customizability options for power-users, supports DALL·E 2, and will support more AI APIs in the future.

#### How is this better than just calling the OpenAI API directly from Shortcuts?

This makes it simpler, but more importantly, it stores your API key securely in the keychain. This means you can share your shortcuts to others without exposing your API key. The API key is not stored in the shortcut.

#### Why is this free without ads?

I just enjoy making apps. Consider leaving a nice review on the App Store.

No, One Task deliberately avoids automatic integration with other todo apps. Most todo apps encourage task hoarding, leading to overwhelm and inaction. One Task focuses on actionable items you commit to completing within the day. Manually select your highest-priority tasks and add them to One Task for focused execution.

#### Does the app support task templates?
#### Does the app support recurring tasks? {#recurring-tasks}

No. I want to keep this app super simple.

However, you can achieve this using the Shortcuts app. Create a [shortcut](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/welcome/ios) that uses the “Add Task” action to add the tasks you want to be recurring. Then create an [automation](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/apdfbdbd7123/7.0/ios/17.0) to run the shortcut at a certain interval. For example, every morning.

#### Does the app support task templates? {#task-templates}

No, but you can achieve this using the Shortcuts app. Modify [this shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/51edae78b820457a89d12715a053fac6) and run it every time you want to apply the template tasks. You could even add the shortcut to the Home Screen.

#### Why doesn't the app have folders, tags, or priorities?

One Task is designed for action, not endless categorization. It omits features like folders, tags, and priorities to eliminate distractions and decision fatigue. The app's core functionality is to help you commit to and complete tasks today.

#### Can you add a widget setting to choose background color?

I don't plan to add this. I want to keep the app super simple.
