Jot it down. Enjoy checking it off. Groceries on the way home. A deadline you don't want to miss. A habit you'd like to keep. Do! gives your everyday to-dos a simple home: add a task, then double-tap when it's done. ■ A thought, a note, a satisfying checkoff Catch a task while it's on your mind. Finished? Double-tap to mark it done. Even a small task deserves that little moment of satisfaction. ■ Make it a list you like coming back to Choose your themes and fonts, with sounds inspired by pen and paper. Like picking a favorite notebook, make your daily list feel like yours. ■ A place for every part of your day Keep work, study and shopping in their own groups. Add color to tell things apart, and pin the tasks you want to keep in sight. ■ Less to remember, every time around Set tasks to repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Add reminders for the things you don't want to miss. ■ A quick look from your home screen Keep your to-dos close with home screen widgets. Check your list during a busy morning without opening the app. ■ Put your keyboard to work Use an external keyboard to add tasks and give longer notes room to breathe. • Add a task: Command(⌘) + N • Insert a line break: Option(⌥/Alt) + Enter ■ Your list, on your other devices Use the same app and sign in with the same account to sync your tasks across devices. Pick up your familiar list when you switch devices. ■ App lock and backups Lock access to the app with a passcode or Face ID on supported devices. Back up your data through Dropbox or email and restore it when needed. It doesn't have to be a big plan. Start with one thing you'd like to do today. ■ About ads This app includes ads. An in-app purchase is available to remove them. Questions and suggestions: do@simplerion.com

Make a list once and use it again. Organize packing, shopping and daily to-dos with nested items, your own templates and quick check resets. Core features are free; ad removal is a one-time purchase. ■ Organize items into lists and sublists Group items by category: Trip → Clothes → Shirts and socks. Parent and child items keep longer lists organized, and you can reorder items to suit your plans. ■ Reuse your lists Save a frequently used list as a template for your next shopping trip or vacation. Copy items or entire lists instead of entering everything again. ■ See what is left to do Checking a parent item also checks its children. Switch between To-Do and All to see the remaining items. Use Uncheck All to reset your list for next time. ■ Everyday conveniences Add items continuously, search your lists, and move or copy items. Use Dark Mode and a badge showing the number of unchecked items. Export lists to Notes, email or other apps to share them. ■ Remove ads with a one-time purchase Core features are free. Premium removes ads with a one-time purchase, not a subscription. After changing devices, use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account used for your purchase. Make everyday preparation a little easier.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Do! at 26K against Checklist's 2.9K. Do! also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 68%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Do! sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Checklist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Do! against 4.7 for Checklist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Do! has 26K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Do!'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Checklist's.
Do! ships an update fortnightly, Checklist every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
