How on earth did you manage to get this far before learning of the Android app by the same name? You can't call this Tasker.

Are you willing to expand more on the meltdown? Coming to terms with being a grown up? Did your marriage survive?

He can absolutely call this Tasker. There are a bunch of apps with the same name. Tasker on Android doesn’t have a macOS version.

Unless they got a trademark, he’s good to go.

I knew about it. I just did it for fun and me and my father so did not care enough. You can name it whatever you would like.

Lmfaooooo on the meltdown. No probably not considering I have been one for longer. And so far it has. Time will be the real tell so I've heard.
