Some tasks need a list. Some need a board. Some need a matrix. Multilist gives each one the right method. When every task gets pushed through the same view, the wrong things bubble up. Multilist lets each project pick the method that fits — list, kanban, matrix, GTD, mandalart — so the right work stays in focus. — ONE APP, MANY METHODS — • Priority Matrix (Eisenhower) — when you don't know where to start • GTD — when your head is too full to track everything • Kanban Board — when multiple things are moving at once • Mandalart — when a big goal needs breaking into pieces • MoSCoW — when scope decisions need to be made • List, Grid 2-col, Grid 3-col — when you just need to see it all Same data. Right method. Switch anytime. — BUILT FOR REAL WORK — • Unlimited sub-tasks and hierarchy • Tags, priorities (6 levels), progress %, emoji, color • Recurring tasks (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / hourly) • Start date, due date, D-day countdown • Task dependencies — chain prerequisites so the next step shows up when it should • Location-based reminders — get pinged when you arrive or leave a spot • Multiple profiles — separate personal / work / side projects • Calendar view, today section, full-text search • Charts — track completion trends • Drag & drop reordering across projects • Markdown clipboard paste — bring in checklists from anywhere — PRIVACY, SYNC & SHARING — • Face ID / Touch ID lock for sensitive tasks • iCloud sync via CloudKit — your data stays in your Apple account • Share any project with family or teammates — collaborate live • Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro • No third-party trackers — FREE & PRO — Free: Up to 30 tasks, every layout unlocked. iCloud sync, task locking, notifications, and project sharing are free for everyone. Pro (monthly or yearly): Unlimited tasks, every method mixed across projects, Magic Paste markdown import — and keep an indie-built app alive. If you've felt that one productivity system can't cover everything you do — that some projects want a kanban, others want GTD, your weekly review wants a matrix — Multilist matches the method to your work.
