Ankorlist - Organise your Life by Topic, not Days Most to-do apps sort by date. Ankorlist sorts by what actually matters, grouping tasks into topics like "House Cleanup" or "Wedding Planning" instead of scattering them across days or smashing them into "Today". It's flow is inspired built the chat apps: write things down fast, cross them off as you go, no complicated systems or setup. Use it solo to stay on top of your own life, or bring in people you trust when your list needs more than one person. Key Features: Chat-style interface → Lists appear in a familiar messaging-style layout that most people already know how to navigate. Write tasks down quickly and cross them off as you go. No complicated planning systems, so you can focus on getting things done. Personal or collaborative → Use Ankorlist as your personal productivity tool, or share lists with trusted peers to stay aligned on goals and tasks. Markdown Notes inside tasks → Each task supports detailed internal notes using a built-in Markdown-supported editor. Add formatted text, structure your ideas, and keep supporting details organized within the task itself. Cross-device access → Sign up once and access your lists across devices. Add tasks from your work phone and check them later on your personal device. Real-time sync → Updates happen instantly, so changes from you or your collaborators appear immediately.
