In a world filled with list apps—ToDo lists, shopping lists, and more—there's no shortage of wonderful features that make these apps incredibly useful. But do you really use all those features? This app keeps it simple, both in functionality and design. ・Add items and display them in a list. ・You can tag each item with up to three tags. ・Swipe right to archive and keep a history. ・Swipe left to delete items you no longer need. I・tems in the history are automatically deleted after about a month. Need a reminder feature? Isn't setting a timer every time cumbersome? Want more types of tags? Isn't deciding and managing what each tag means too much hassle? There's freedom in limitations. While this app may have limited features, it doesn't limit how you use it. Feel free to give it a try.
