List it. Track it. Status it. List-it turns anything you do again and again into a simple checklist you can reuse: the weekly grocery run, a morning routine, a work procedure, a plan with a deadline. Check items off, see the percent complete at a glance, and keep it all private: your lists are stored only on your device. One purchase, no subscription, no account, no ads. BUILD IT ONCE, USE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN • Make a list in seconds and reuse it every week: uncheck and go • Add a note under any item • Reorder items with one tap, and sort by your own order, A to Z, or unchecked first • Names and notes can be in any language you type LISTS FOR EVERYTHING Checklists, plans, tasks, SOPs (standard operating procedures), goals and milestones, brainstorming, recipes, packing lists, responsibilities, and anything you want to memorize. Tag a list as SOP, Checklist, Process, Brainstorm or Milestones, then filter by tag. SEE YOUR STATUS • Percent complete on every list, so you see what is done and what is left • See when you last used each list and on how many days • A dashboard ranks your ten most used lists • Search every list and item at once ADD PICTURES, PRINT, SAVE • Attach photos from your library or camera to a list • Save a list as a PDF to print or keep in the Files app • Add your own pictures to the banners at the top of your lists IMPROVE A LIST WITH ON-DEVICE AI On supported devices, List-it can look at one list at a time and suggest where it slows you down: steps to add, change or remove, ranked by expected benefit. Nothing changes until you tap Apply, and it all happens on your device. (Requires iOS 26 or later on a device that supports Apple Intelligence. Every other feature works on all supported devices.) PRIVATE BY DESIGN One purchase, no subscription. No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your lists and pictures stay on your device, so you can stay focused. Think of it as writing on a simple notecard without worrying about losing it. We would love to hear your favorite lists and the features you would like to see next. Made for iPhone and iPad.

The call
