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

About

MissionCtrl

Features
Read full description

MissionCtrl is a habit tracker designed to help you build consistent routines, track daily goals, and stay on top of the habits that matter to you. Instead of traditional task lists, habits are treated as missions that you complete throughout the day. Create missions that match the way you work and track your progress over time. Whether you are building new habits, improving productivity, exercising regularly, or maintaining a daily routine, MissionCtrl gives you a simple and flexible way to stay consistent. ### Mission Types MissionCtrl supports three types of missions: **Boolean Missions** Simple yes-or-no habits such as sleeping on time, avoiding junk food, taking your vitamins, or completing a daily task. **Time-Based Missions** Track activities based on time. Read for 30 minutes, meditate for 10 minutes, exercise, or practice a skill. **Count-Based Missions** Perfect for repetition-based goals such as push-ups, drinking water, walking, or completing a certain number of tasks. ### Guided Experience Choose between two in-app guides, Kaus or Prats. These characters respond to your activity and provide prompts and feedback throughout your journey, adding a sense of progress and motivation as you complete your missions. ### Your Progress, Your Data MissionCtrl is designed to keep your habit tracking personal. Your missions, activity, and progress are focused on you. There are no global leaderboards, competitive leagues, or public profiles. You can focus on building better habits without comparing your progress with anyone else. ### Privacy Focused MissionCtrl is designed with privacy in mind. Your personal missions and progress are stored locally on your device and do not require an account. Your habit tracking stays personal, so you can build routines and review your progress without sharing your activity with others. ### Build Better Routines MissionCtrl helps you stay consistent, track your progress, and build habits that last. Create missions. Complete them daily. Track your progress. Build better routines, one mission at a time.
