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

Take a breath. Pick one thing. Press start. Elegant Pomodoro Focus is an easygoing focus timer for people who would rather do good work than babysit another productivity system. Choose what you are working on, let the timer run, and enjoy watching the hours add up. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-in. Nothing to set up. Your sessions, tasks, notes and plans live in a database on your device — not on our server, because we do not have one. There are no analytics, no trackers and no third-party SDKs anywhere in the app. The only time it touches the network is when you buy something, and that is a conversation with Apple. FOCUS • Classic Pomodoro, or Flowtime when you would rather stop at a natural break • Give every session a reason: pick an Area, an Item and a Task • Breaks with your own break activities • Ambient sound built in — gentle rain, ocean shore, wind chimes, brown noise, wooden flute — or bring your own tracks • Full-screen paintings from the public-domain collection of the National Gallery of Art PLAN • A simple day plan you will actually stick to • Tasks with priorities, time estimates and due dates • Optional two-way sync with Apple Calendar PROGRESS • Day, week, month and all-time views • Focus trends, a focus-versus-break split and per-area breakdowns • Searchable session history with notes • Export everything to CSV whenever you like FREE FOREVER The focus timer, your session history and CSV export are free. No trial clock, no nagging. PREMIUM — WHERE IT REALLY OPENS UP • Flowtime — when a session is going well, let it run and stop at a natural break • The day planner, plus optional two-way Apple Calendar sync • Searchable history, rich notes and analytics that show you your best hours • Unlimited areas, items and tasks • Your own music libraries, and the full gallery of paintings Try all of it free for 7 days.
