Karo task manager app now has a Mac version

I recently wrote about Karo, a new iPhone app from developer Mustafa Yusuf that helps people create to-do lists and assign tasks to others. Starting today, Mac users can also try a native version of Karo for macOS.

Yusuf is also behind the missionanother to-do app I’ve already written about it here 9 to 5. However, while Tasks focuses on more complex lists and projects, Karo is simpler and designed to delegate tasks to others, such as friends and family. The app’s interface is designed to look like you’re just using a chat app.

This is probably the most exciting part of the app because I often need to remind someone of a task to complete via a message – and those messages end up getting lost in the middle of a long conversation.

With Karo, you just select a contact and initiate a “chat.” Everything you enter creates a new task to complete. If other people also have the Karo app, they will see the tasks directly in the app. But Karo isn’t limited to those who have the app installed. For those who don’t have it, tasks can be sent via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any other messaging platform of your choice.

Recipients will get a link to view the task and mark it as completed – all without having to install Karo. This makes it particularly useful when working with people who don’t use iPhones, for example. Once a task is marked as completed, you will receive a notification and the task will automatically update in the app.

Karo was originally designed for iPhone, but the latest update to the app also offers a Mac version. Users will find all the same features of the iOS version in the macOS app, including the option to set deadlines and reminders. You can also attach files to each task, use artificial intelligence to help you manage larger tasks, or quickly view your to-do list from the home screen widget.

Karo is available for free trial on iOS and Mac App Store. However, after the trial period ends, a subscription or lifetime license is required. It’s worth noting that the subscription is valid for both iOS and macOS versions.
