Pure SwiftUI, top to bottom
Built in the same toolkit you use every day. No web wrapper, no React Native, no Catalyst stretch — just native components, native animations, native context menus.
For iOS developers
Plan your apps in something that feels like the apps you build.
Milestones is a pure SwiftUI project planner — Liquid Glass, native gestures, three-column iPad layout, real Mac menu bar. Built by an iOS dev who got tired of cross-platform planners.

What's not working today
- JIRA's iOS app is a mobile web view dressed up as a binary.
- Linear's iPad layout is the iPhone layout with more whitespace.
- Notion lags every time you switch a database view.
- You ship in SwiftUI but plan in Electron — and it shows.
- Reminders has no concept of 'this milestone, then that milestone'.
How Milestones fixes that
For iOS developers
Designed for the iPad you actually code on
Three-column NavigationSplitView on iPadOS. Keyboard shortcuts. Pencil-friendly. The iPad app isn't a phone app stretched out — it's its own thing.
A real Mac app
Menu bar, sidebar, multiple windows, share sheet, system shortcuts. It feels like a Mac app because it is one — same Swift code, native Mac feel.
Privacy you'd ship yourself
iCloud sync via CloudKit. No vendor account, no third-party server, no analytics on your project content. Same posture you take with your own apps.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the app open source?
Not at the moment, but the architecture is the kind you'd recognise: SwiftUI + SwiftData, CloudKit sync, RevenueCat for Pro entitlements. We talk about it openly on our changelog and roadmap.
Why not just use Reminders or Notes?
Reminders has no notion of milestones — only flat tasks under lists. Notes has no notion of tasks at all. Milestones models the Project → Milestone → Task structure that maps to how iOS apps actually ship: prototype, beta, 1.0, 1.1, etc.
Does it support Markdown / rich text in tasks?
Tasks have a title, optional notes, due date, and tags. We deliberately keep them lightweight so they're fast to capture from anywhere — including the iOS Share Sheet.
Can I tag a task as 'bug', 'feature', or 'tech debt'?
Yes — colorful tags work across projects, so you can pull up every bug across every app, or every refactor task you've been putting off.
Does it integrate with Xcode, GitHub, or TestFlight?
Not directly. Milestones is your personal planner; the integrations live in your existing tooling. That said, due dates and milestones map cleanly to TestFlight build cycles if you want them to.
Mac app or just Mac Catalyst?
Native macOS — built with SwiftUI's Mac idioms. Real menus, real toolbar, real `.scenePadding`. Not a stretched iPad app.
How does Milestones compare?
Side-by-side with the apps you might already be using.
Milestones vs
Linear
A native Apple planner for personal projects vs a polished issue tracker for software teams. Both are beautiful, opinionated tools — for very different jobs.
Milestones vs
Notion
A focused native Apple project planner vs the everything-app document and database tool. They aim at very different problems — here's how to choose.
Milestones vs
Things 3
A milestone-driven project planner vs the most polished GTD task manager on Apple platforms. Both are native, both respect you — they're just for different jobs.
An iOS dev's planner, by an iOS dev.
Same toolkit you ship with. Same privacy stance you take with your users. Free to start, native everywhere.
