Awesome app
Love this app ! The ease of adding to-dos and pulling unfinished forward are among my favorite features - along with the simplicity and overall ease of use.
The developer is super fast to respond to questions which is unusual and refreshing in today’s world.MiklHestr
Rare Find
Finalist for iOS Review
Finally a daily todo list that thinks like I do.
Finalist, more than any other I’ve tried and tested after an exhaustive search hits the sweet spot and balances form with function to an exceptional degree.
It’s is as much elegant as it is useful. Feels like every little detail has been crafted with the user in mind. A feat that is not easily achieved and have only seen in rare apps I’d call pearls in the vast sea of productivity apps we have at our disposal these days.
Sure there are always gonna be wishes for any app, no matter how amazing it is. But it has a lot going for it …
You need Calendar integration. ✔️
You want a colorful view of your day, your week and all your lists. ✔️ Finalist lets you add a splash of color whenever the mood strikes. Say so long to the all too common and boring white screen of 95% of todo list apps. You have a palette of pleasing colors to choose from and 2 different design choices (plus one more in the 2.0 beta).
Want to see the weather in your day’s todo list? ✔️
Want to see how many days ahead a task is away, than just the date (as you get in most todo apps)? ✔️
Want to integrate with Apple Reminder? ✔️
Want to quickly bookmark a task and have a quick place to view all your important tasks? ✔️
Want to quickly see how far away in your day a pending event or take with a specific time is away in live time? ✔️
Want to quickly move your task to tomorrow or any other day in your calendar? ✔️
Want markdown links in your tasks? Or live url linking? ✔️
Want a lifetime purchase option and or a reasonable subscription price? ✔️
Want a clean slate each day without carrying forward precious days stale tasks that facilities clarity rather than overwhelm (with the option to re-add those tasks today at your discretion)? ✔️
Want optional headers / sections in your todo lists for better organization? ✔️
Want to pin a list that you can see on your day’s plan? ✔️
Want to be able to hide done tasks on your list and be able to change the completion date of your tasks (move to the day they were actually done)? ✔️
Want a fast and efficient search to find tasks or reminders easily? ✔️
Want multiple pleasing app icons to choose from (even more in the 2.0 beta)? ✔️
Want a responsive developer who genuinely listens and cares about your ideas and feedback? ✔️
You want a todo list / planner app that is actively developed? ✔️
There are so many little touches and details that I love.
When you fire up Finalist, what becomes immediately apparent how much the developer cares about the user experience.
There are a few wishes I’ll throw out they’re that I’d love to see in a future update or major version.
List groups.
Archive list option.
Apple Watch app.
Sub-tasks.
After conversing with the developer I can tell you a couple of these are already on his roadmap.
I’ll end by saying Finalist is truly a rare find that I’m delighted to have discovered. 🙏iOSBliss

This update lets you pin any list from your Lists tab to Today. This is great for time-sensitive yet longer-running lists: whether you’re packing for a trip, visiting coffee shops in a new city or working through project tasks. Your pinned list will be there for you tomorrow, with completed items hidden to keep things tidy.
