The simplest and smoothest todo list for daily tasks. - No ads - No signup required - No subscription or payments How do you use Daylist? 1. Create lists for today with one tap - Grocery shopping, work tasks or anything else. 2. Write down the tasks you’d like to get done 3. Want to be reminded of a task? 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.

BADU Connect Remote Pool Management System   In North America BADU Connect from SPECK Pumps gives you a convenient way to manage your Badu® SwimJet System & Pool*. It allows you to manage your SwimJet’s pump, lighting, or other accessories via the internet from anywhere in the world. Setup schedules, turn devices on or off at a moment's notice and even invite friends, or pool professionals to manage your devices too. In Europe, the BADU Connect App enables access to variable speed pumps via BADU NetLink. The various pump speeds can be controlled manually using the BADU Connect app. In automatic mode, appropriate time programs can be set. This makes it easy to control the filter times without much time and effort. The best thing is that even pumps that have been already installed can also become smart. BADU Connect App is FREE to use which makes it easy to access your pool from your smart devices.   In addition, BADU®Connect is also available via the Web. After successfully setting up and activating your account via your mobile device, you can conveniently control your pool equipment from a web browser from any device via the internet.   For product compatibility and additional details please visit https://baduconnect.com   Why Link Your Pool Equipment to Your Smartphone? Why in the world would you need an app to control your Badu® SwimJet* or pool pump at home? I mean, if you are at home, why not just walk out to the pool and check it out or turn it on yourself?   Handheld Convenience. Let’s face it, most technological advances are in the name of convenience. We designed our phone app to make the jobs in your lives easier. An app linking your pool equipment to your phone allows you the convenience of ensuring your equipment is running smoothly from anywhere in the world. You have many options you can control at your fingertips. Including setting daily timers and, for the safety of your family, you can even disable or prevent the use of the swimjet* system by simply tapping a LOCK icon within the app.   Away on Vacation. It’s nice to take vacations. It’s even nicer not to have to worry about your pool while you’re vacationing. Keeping your pool water moving in your pool is critical – and no one wants to return home from a relaxing vacation to deal with unfiltered pool water. On the flip side, no one wants to pay or trouble a neighbor to watch their pool, either. Smartphone devices help solve this problem. A connection between your pump and your smartphone can help eliminate those concerns.   *only available in North America.
