About

Simple To Do List

Features
Read full description

A to do list for the jobs that take more than one step. Started something but not finished? Mark it In Progress and it stays in front of you β€” the middle of a job is where a plain checklist loses you. Bigger jobs get a project of their own, with a due date and reminders before it lands. Group the work into categories, and add a second level underneath where one is not enough β€” Moving House, with a room under each heading. Type a task, or paste a whole list at once. Drag to prioritize. Check things off as you go, and switch to To Do to hide what is done β€” so you only see what is left. FREE β€’ One list, and In Progress for anything you have started β€’ Pictures on tasks, guessed as you type β€’ Reminders on any task β€’ Sort, search, undo β€’ For iPhone and iPad β€’ Works offline, nothing to sign up for UNLOCK EVERYTHING β€” one payment, no subscription β€’ Projects: a separate list for every project, with a due date and reminders before it lands β€’ Categories and subcategories: group tasks under your own headings, and add a second level where you want one β€” This Week with the days under it, or a plain list where you do not β€’ Templates: 21 ready-made lists for the big jobs β€” Moving House, New Baby, Tax Time, Wedding Planning, Back to School and more β€” added in a tap without doubling up what you already have β€’ Share a project: send it to a friend as a file, and they add it to their own app β€’ Export to PDF: print a project as a checklist, grouped by category β€’ Import and export: move your lists to a new iPhone or iPad as a file β€’ No ads YOUR DATA IS YOURS Lists live on your device and, if you like, in your own iCloud so they follow you to your next iPhone or iPad. Export a copy any time, and import it on another device.
