Introduction This application is an auxiliary tool for the standard iOS reminder application. It manages tasks (i.e. reminder items) with or without a notification date and by list classification. You can postpone tasks that you don't want to do immediately, or delete the notification date for undecided tasks (I'll do it someday), so that you can focus on today's tasks that are displayed. About Lists We recommend that you prepare multiple "Lists" for reminders (created from the standard reminder app, e.g. "Shopping", "Work", "Housework"). The default list set in your iPhone reminder app is called Inbox in this app. Today's Tasks screen Displays a list of tasks whose notification dates are up to today. The background color of the past tasks is red, and the background color of the tasks within an hour from now is yellow. Complete a task Tapping the circle icon next to the left side of the task will mark it as completed, and the task will disappear from the list. Postpone a Task Tap the calendar icon on the right side of the task to display the postpone menu. For example, tapping "3 hours later" will postpone the notification date to 3 hours after the current time. Filter Function Tap the filter button to display the list of list names. Tap any list name to switch to the task list of that list. Tasks that have not yet been notified as "To be done someday" will also be displayed, so you can change undecided tasks to be done tonight. To remove the filtered view, tap the title at the top of the screen. Inbox = In other words, from the list of tasks that are set as the default list on your iPhone, use "Change List" to sort them into a list by purpose.
