Originally i wrote this App for personal use but I thought it could be useful for other people as well. You can manage unlimited lists (create/edit/delete) and for each list you can manage unlimited entries. Each ToDo contains subject, duedate, status (open/closed) , priority (high, medium, low) and a notice. Entries will be grouped by status or priority. At duedate you will receive a notification like you get with the apple calendar app. I would appreciate sending me improvements or new features for further versions. I thought about customizable priorities, export as csv-file or syncing with other devices. For contacting me please visit the webpage. There is a full Version without limitations: ToDoLists (includes a today widget)
