The Roadmap helps you organize your everyday routine. You can create an unlimited number of nested lists and put tasks inside them. You can create different types of tasks: - Task - a checkbox item you can complete manually - Goal - a list with progress tracking in percent - Shopping - a task where you can add a price tag in your chosen currency - Countdown - shows a countdown to a specific date - Counter - helps you count workout reps or books you've read, for example - Stopwatch - start counting days, hours, and minutes from a specific moment, for example smoke-free days - Rating - give anything a star rating, for example build your own ranking of coffee blends **Planning:** Each task can have a deadline or a date range. The app shows your plan for today and for the week, so you don't forget anything. **Notifications:** Set up notifications for each task. Notifications can be one-time or repeating. **Siri:** Ask Siri to do "Roadmap new task" or "Roadmap add shopping" without even opening the app. **Shortcuts:** Advanced users can create their own workflows in Apple's Shortcuts app. Roadmap lets you automate list and task management. The list of available shortcuts will keep growing. **Spotlight Search:** You can search tasks, lists, and goals right from Spotlight. **Application settings:** - Default list to add tasks to - Chose main color - Setup default currency
