KwikList Plus is a simple and powerful list management tool that will help you organize your life. Create and manage all of your lists from one convenient spot, and configure them to capture the information that *you* need, presented how *you* want it, and available when and where *you* need it. * Create new list from one of the available list-types – to do, gifts, pictures, notes, and simple – and then customize it as needed to include the specific fields and categories that you need to track. * Don't need one of the fields for an item? Remove it with a swipe. * Need to record more information for an item? Add a new note, image, date, time, number, money, Url, or switch with one touch. * Need to share your list with somebody else? Email or print the whole list or just the details of a specific item. * Don't want to share? Optional password protection lets you restrict access to a list that you don't want others to see. * Use 'Smart Lists' to quickly and easily access all of your items that are due, overdue, or high priority. * Use 'Quick Select' to remember commonly used items and present them for selection as you type. * Use 'Global Search' to find items from any list quickly and easily. Use 'Advanced Search' within your lists to filter items based on any one of the defined list fields. * Setup items to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly and see them automatically update for each interval. * Create pop-up reminders for your items; never forget another important task again. * Save your lists in the Cloud! Enable iCloud sync to automatically update your lists across all of your devices! * Use the included Home Screen widgets to expose your KwikList information directly on your Device Screen. * Export your lists as .kwiklist bundle files for backup and/or import into other devices. If you have lists -- and we all do -- then you need KwikList Plus.
