About

AlwaysList

Features
Read full description

AlwaysList is a new style of Todo management app. The PiP (Picture-in-Picture) feature, originally intended for playing videos in a small window, is used to display the list, making the app unique. In traditional Todo apps, you need to display the app screen to check off items. However, with AlwaysList, the list is displayed in PiP mode, allowing you to always see the list even while using other apps. Since the PiP feature is utilized, you don't need to keep the AlwaysList app screen open. As a result, unfortunately, the number of ad displays within the app is extremely low... If you are a fan of AlwaysList, we would be grateful if you could consider subscribing to support us. For feature requests or suggestions, please feel free to send them via the "Feedback" section within the app.
