A calm place for the things you have to do. PurpleList keeps your tasks in a shape that stays tidy on its own. Folders hold lists, lists hold tasks, and nothing shouts for your attention. • Folders, lists and tasks — a structure that works for a shopping list and for moving abroad • Subtasks, notes and due dates on anything • Reminders that arrive when you asked, not when an algorithm decides • Star the handful of things that actually matter today • Share a list with someone, and talk it through in the task's comments • Choose the background your lists live on Everything syncs across your devices. Sign in with Apple, with Google, or with an email address — and delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, whenever you like. No streaks. No badges. No feed. Just your lists, the way you left them.
