A checklist app for people who think in color. Tap. Pick a color. Done. A home screen widget keeps your lists in sight — and the only "smart" thing Editally does is stay out of your way. If you've ever opened a "minimal" to-do app only to find AI suggestions, smart reminders, and an onboarding flow you can't skip: this isn't that. WHAT IT DOES - A home screen widget that actually stays put. - Tap, type, check off. No onboarding tour. No "let's get to know you" survey. - Works offline. Always. WHO IT'S FOR - Anyone whose hands are busy and whose phone has to keep up. - ADHD brains who think in color before they think in words. - Anyone who liked their favorite app before it became a "platform." THE PROMISE No AI. No "smart" anything that breaks what works. No ads. Not now, not later. No tracking. No third-party analytics. No update that quietly removes the one feature you used. When something works, it shouldn't change. PRICING One price. Pay once, keep it. No subscription. No "pro" tier. No locked colors. Everything in the app is everything you get — unlimited lists, the full color palette, the widget. That's the whole pricing page. PRIVACY Your lists are yours. They live on your phone. We don't track you, we don't profile you, and we don't sell anything to anyone. WHY EDITALLY EXISTS Most checklist apps start simple and then "improve" themselves into something you don't recognize. AI summaries you didn't ask for. Subscription tiers for features that used to be free. Onboarding flows that lecture you. Editally was built for one real person — a woman who uses it every day, hands deep in her work — not a persona from a workshop. Every feature passed a daily test. If she wouldn't use it, it isn't in here. That's the promise going forward, too. Nothing gets added because it's trendy. Nothing breaks because we wanted to "modernize." The version you download today is the version that'll still work the same way next year — minus whatever iOS forces on us.
