No problem, just another tap for that. 4. When you’re done with your task, check it off in the app. You’re going to love this step ;) You’ll have a fresh start each day - no need to manage long term lists. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Daily lists, as minimalistic and smooth as it gets. NO SIGNUP OR SPAM You just get right into the app. We don’t need to know your email or anything else for that matter. Also, anything you enter in the app stays right there, we don’t send your data to god knows where. Privacy first! NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Try the app for a week, and if it’s what you’re looking for, then you can continue using it forever with a one time purchase. Oh yea, no ads either. If you’re not sold by now, just give it a go. The app does a way better job of showing how wonderful todo lists can be than I can describe in text.
