Read full description

ListNote brings to-do lists, shopping lists and notes together in one simple app. Everything is saved to your account and ready on your phone and tablet. To-do lists • Every item is a small note with a checkbox: add details, a color, or dictate it by voice. • Pin your most important list to the Home screen so you see it the moment you open the app. • Swipe left to delete an item and undo with a single tap. • Move and copy items between lists, and share lists with others. • Done items fold away into a collapsible section, and a progress bar shows what is left. Shopping • Receipt-style shopping lists with your shopping progress. • Type "2 kg potatoes" or "milk, bread, eggs" — quantities and several products at once are recognized automatically. • Aisles with icons: fruit & veg, bakery, dairy, meat, fish, frozen and more. • Frequently bought products and suggestions as you type. • In-store mode: large rows, grouping by aisle and a cart that collects what you have bought. Notes • Text notes with photos and dictation. • Drawings: pen, highlighter, line, arrow, rectangle, circle and eraser, with undo. • Note reminders, tags and pinning to the top. • Turn a note into a list — every line becomes an item. • Print or share as PDF or text. • Trash: restore deleted notes for 30 days. Privacy • Hidden lists and notes protected with a password. • Your data stays in your account only. Delete your account at any time from within the app. Your style • Light and dark mode, eight backgrounds to choose from. • Phone and tablet, in portrait and landscape. • Works offline too — your changes sync when you are back online.
