It is a todo list application that emphasizes simplicity and usability. Todo items can be managed in categories. ーーHow to useーー ◆Category You can make category. You can edit and delete the created category by long press. You can check the number of items in the category and the number of items checked. ◆Todo Item You can create todo items. Those that have been completed will be checked. Unwanted items can be deleted on the slide. Todo Item can set options "Memo", "Due", "Priority" and they can be changed. ~~~~~~~~~~~ My application's concept has three points . 1. easy to use 2. easy to see 3. easy to manage There is no meaning of Todo app that has many functions . Because it takes effort to use the app. There are many apps that has many functions in the world, so I made a simple app this time. Certainly there are few functions, but it is enough, If we add the function, we would like to expand it in response to the requests from users in the future.

Goals: an app for tracking personal goals — no clutter, just goals, milestones, and progress you can see at a glance. ----What's in Goals---- Number goals: Track kilometers, money, days in a row — anything measurable by a number, including goals where "lower is better" (losing weight, paying off debt). Milestones: Break a goal into steps and check them off one by one. Custom schedule: Daily, weekly, or monthly — the app counts your streak by your own plan, not the calendar. Today screen: See only what's scheduled for today, no clutter. Visualize your progress: Clear, at a glance, so you always know where you stand. Widgets: Three kinds, three sizes, check in with one tap right from your Home Screen. Reminders: Set your own, plus a gentle "haven't checked in in a while" nudge if you forget a goal for a few days.
