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.
