CarPlay

Your task list, right there on your car's display

See what's due, get directions, and call contacts — without ever picking up your phone.

BetterKeeper now works with CarPlay. Your Today view — Scheduled, Due Today, Overdue, and Ongoing — appears right on your car's screen. Tap a task to get directions to where you're headed, call the person you're meeting, or mark it done. All hands-free, all while you drive.

The Problem

Checking your to-do list while driving shouldn't mean looking at your phone

You're about to head to a meeting and you can't remember the address. Or you suddenly recall you were supposed to call a client on the way. The natural move is to glance at your phone — exactly the moment you shouldn't.

Most task managers live entirely on the phone screen. The second you're behind the wheel, your carefully organized day becomes inaccessible — or worse, a distraction you reach for anyway.

The Solution

Your Today view, built for the car — not a shrunken phone screen

BetterKeeper's CarPlay integration puts your Today categories — Scheduled, Due Today, Overdue, and Ongoing — front and center, each with a live count. Tap a category to open its task list, then tap any task to act on it immediately.

From there, BetterKeeper offers exactly what you need on the road: Directions to a task's location in your preferred maps app, a one-tap Call to the contact attached to it, or Mark Complete to check it off — all without unlocking your phone or breaking your focus on the road.

What's Included

Everything you need at a glance — nothing you don't

  • Today categories with live counts Scheduled, Due Today, Overdue, and Ongoing — the same sections you know from your phone's Today view, shown clearly on your car's display with a tap-to-open task list for each.
  • One-tap Directions Tap a task tied to a destination and BetterKeeper opens it directly in your preferred navigation app — Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze. No searching, no retyping an address while you drive.
  • Call a contact straight from a task If a task has a phone number attached, BetterKeeper can dial it for you — perfect for "call before you arrive" reminders or last-minute check-ins on your way.
  • Mark tasks complete on the go Finished a stop on your route? Check the task off right from the CarPlay screen — it syncs back to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac instantly.
  • Designed to keep your eyes on the road Large touch targets, minimal taps, and a focused layout — built around Apple's CarPlay guidelines so you can act fast and look back at the road.

FAQ

Common questions about BetterKeeper on CarPlay

Do I need to set anything up to use BetterKeeper on CarPlay?
No extra setup. If your iPhone is already connected to CarPlay, BetterKeeper appears alongside your other apps automatically. Open it and your Today view loads right away.
Can BetterKeeper give me directions while I'm driving?
Yes. If a task has a destination — like a meeting location or a stop on your route — tap it and choose Directions. BetterKeeper opens your preferred navigation app (Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze) with the destination already filled in.
Will my CarPlay actions sync back to my iPhone?
Yes. Marking a task complete, or any other change you make through CarPlay, syncs through iCloud immediately — your iPhone, iPad, and Mac all reflect it right away.
Does BetterKeeper play audio or provide turn-by-turn navigation through CarPlay?
No — BetterKeeper is a task manager, not a navigation or audio app. It uses Apple's CarPlay framework to show your Today view and hand off directions to your preferred maps app, where Apple's navigation experience takes over.
Which task categories show up on CarPlay?
The same four core categories from your phone's Today view: Scheduled, Due Today, Overdue, and Ongoing — each shown with a live count so you can see your day at a glance before you even tap in.
