A SIMPLE, NON-COMMERCIAL TODO LIST MANAGER Re:List allows you to quickly create, reuse, reset and copy lists so you can efficiently organize your TODO items. Whether it's your frequently used shopping list or a packing list for your vacation, Re:List is here to help you to stay organized. With Re:List, you'll never forget to pack your sunblock or winter hat again! Re:List allows you to copy single items and entire lists, you can check, reset and delete items, sort by priority, name, date - you have complete control over your TODO lists. Your lists are always with you, even when you switch devices (this is optional and requires sign-in using your Apple ID to work). Lists and items that you use frequently can be protected from accidental deletion by marking a list as locked. Items of locked lists can still be checked off, changed and copied, but they cannot be deleted or moved from the locked list, which makes a locked list perfect to use as a template or recurring checklist. Re:List is the right app for getting more things done! Enjoy your new found freedom and thank you for checking off with Re:List! FLEXIBLE AND REUSABLE LISTS - Reset lists - Reuse lists - Copy lists - Lock lists - Copy items between lists - Move items between lists - Drag and Drop to move lists ITEM SORTING - Sort items manually via drag and drop - Sort items by priority, name, date, etc. LIST ITEM MANAGEMENT - Tap (+) to add new items - Create multiple items in a row - Swipe left to delete an item - Swipe right to move or copy an item to another list - Tap an item to view and edit its details - Filter items based on name, notes and tags - Prioritize items META-INFORMATION - Add notes to items - Add tags to items - Timestamps for creation date and most recent change SYNCHRONIZATION - Sign-in using your Apple ID to sync your lists across all your devices SUPPORTED LANGUAGES - English (default) - German - Spanish - Portuguese (European) - French - (more language may follow eventually) Re:List is an ongoing project and work-in-progress and will occasionally receive new features. ABOUT ME Hi, I'm Julian, the developer of Re:List. I am a professional software developer and IT consultant from Germany. I created this app, because I wanted to regain the power over my frequently used lists and items. Eventually, I got tired of rewriting shopping and packing lists all over again. There are already hundreds of TODO list and checklist apps, but none are perfect (neither is Re:List) and entirely fit my needs. So, I developed Re:List and it was my goal to share it with all of you completely for free. If you would like to support me, report a bug or feature request or if you would like me to develop an app for you, don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail: epj.apps@gmail.com
