About

Yet Another Todo App

Read full description

This is Yet Another Todo App. It's just a todo list app, but it tries to do things a little bit differently. • Offline only You don't need an account to use YATA. It actually doesn't even make any network requests. All the data is stored on your device and we don't collect or parse any of it. We will never collect, store, or transmit any data that isn't directly required for the operation of the app. • Detailed, interactive todos Todos can be scheduled and augmented with recurrences, reminders, subtasks, and attachments (including phone numbers, addresses, and web links). Plus, you can launch the appropriate app for attachments directly from the edit screen. • Built to help plan your day In most todo list apps, I always end up with a huge list of items I haven't done, staring me in the face for months. This app tries to avoid that problem by focusing on what you're going to do _today_. When you create todos in YATA, you can assign them a "do date". The default view you see is your Daily Schedule, the set of todos you have for a single day. • Wonderful to use and navigate This app isn't going to spam you with useless notifications. It's not going to have intrusive ads. I built it to use myself and really focused on making it wonderful to use and navigate. If you think you should be able to do something, you probably can. Swipe between days on the Daily Schedule screen or use the calendar button to jump around. Quick add todos by tapping enter while editing the title.
