ReSet List

Read full description

ReSet List is a simple checklist app with a twist: your lists can reset automatically on a schedule. Perfect for daily routines, weekly tasks, or anything you need to do again and again. CREATE CHECKLISTS Add as many checklists as you need. Name them, add items, and check them off as you go. Drag to reorder, and swipe to hide lists you're not using. SCHEDULED RESETS Set a time and days for any checklist to reset. Your grocery list clears every Sunday. Your morning routine starts fresh each day. Need more than one? Add as many schedules to a list as you like—clear your chores at noon and again at 9 PM, or give every day of the week its own time. A single schedule can reset several checklists together, so an entire routine turns over at once. Resets happen the moment the scheduled time passes, or the next time you open the app—nothing to do by hand. FLEXIBLE & PRIVATE All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Hide checklists you want to keep but not see. Duplicate any checklist—and its schedules along with it—from the checklist menu. Optional progress indicators show how many items you've completed. SUPPORT THE DEVELOPER Enjoying the app? Optional tips help support future updates. ReSet List is free to use with no ads, and every feature is available without paying. Tips are one-time purchases only—there are no subscriptions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.line-29.com/privacy

The only productivity app designed just for you. Most to-do apps make you bend to their rules. To Do Machine flips the workshop on its head — open the back panel, swap the parts, paint it your color. Talk to it in plain English and watch your task inbox, your projects, and your entire workflow rebuild themselves in real time. Built natively for Mac and iOS. Perfectly in sync. — WHO IT'S FOR — For the people who've tried every to-do app and bounced off them all. For the ones who keep building systems in Notion, then abandoning them. For anyone whose brain works a specific way and is tired of apps that don't. To Do Machine isn't another opinionated workflow. It's a workshop where you build the one that fits you. — DESIGN IT YOURSELF — Tell To Do Machine what you want and it remakes the app around you. "Make the inbox darker and put due dates on the right" — done. Switch any project to list, kanban, calendar, focus, or blueprint view. Invent your own statuses, fields, and automations, project by project. Every tweak syncs to all your devices instantly. — AI THAT DOES THE ORGAINZING — Just say what's on your mind. To Do Machine writes the tasks, breaks them into projects, sets reminders, and finds time on your calendar — no tapping the + button (if you don't want to). "Plan my Q3" → full project with milestones, weekly check-ins, and time blocks. Auto-triage your inbox: priority, due dates, parent project. Orgainize your tasks in bulk: "Complete all of my overdue tasks and let's start fresh." — CALENDAR IN, DAY OUT — Connect Apple or Google Calendar and your tasks thread themselves between your meetings. Two-way sync with Apple or Google Calendar. Time-blocking that respects your meetings, focus blocks, and breaks. Move a meeting and your tasks move with it. — INSTANTLY SYNCED BETWEEN iOS AND MAC — Tasks, projects, and calendars sync in milliseconds. Custom layouts and themes travel with you.
