MonoList vs TaskPlate

A to-do app that just gets out of your way. MonoList is lists and tasks. Nothing to learn, nothing to set up first. Write your list, tick things off, done. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no subscription. EVERYTHING IS FREE There is no Pro version. No paid tier, no trial that runs out, no feature waiting behind a paywall, and no limit on how many lists or tasks you create. If MonoList becomes useful to you, you can leave a voluntary tip in the app. That is the entire business model. Nothing in the app changes if you do. You simply keep an independent app alive. WHAT YOU CAN DO → Create as many lists as you like, each with its own icon → Add tasks, tick them off, and hide the completed ones when they get in the way → Give a task a note when the title alone isn't enough → Set a reminder and get a notification when it's due → Drag tasks and lists into the order that makes sense to you → Swipe a task to edit or delete it YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account. No MonoList server. No tracking, no analytics, nothing shared with anyone. Your lists live in a local database on your device and nowhere else. That also means the backup is yours to control: - Export your data as an open JSON file at any time. It's yours, take it anywhere - Or export it encrypted with a passphrase only you know, so a backup can be stored or handed on without anyone reading it - Turn on automatic backups and MonoList writes an encrypted copy once a day in the background, to your iPhone or to your iCloud Drive - Restoring replaces everything on the device with the backup, and shows you what it will delete and add before it does anything MAKE IT YOURS 14 colour themes in seven families: Standard, Summer, Forest, Sea, PixelCraft, Tropical and Rainbow, each in a light and a dark version. Pick one, or let the app follow your system appearance and switch with it. LOCK IT IF YOU WANT Turn on App Lock and MonoList asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before showing your lists, on launch and every time you come back from another app. It stays off unless you turn it on. WORKS OFFLINE There is nothing to sync, so there is nothing to wait for. MonoList needs no internet connection to do its job. WHO IS MONOLIST FOR? → You want a to-do list, not a productivity system → You've had enough of apps that ask you to sign up before showing you anything → You don't want your shopping list on someone else's server → You've hit a paywall in a to-do app once too often → You like an app that looks the way you want it to English and German. Made in Austria. No ads, no tricks.

TaskPlate is a straightforward task manager built around one idea: get things done without the clutter. CAPTURE IT FAST Tap + at the bottom, type, and press Return — saved, with the next blank line already waiting. Empty your head in one go, and add the details later if they matter. BOARD YOUR WAY Organize every task across three simple stages — To Do, In Progress, and Done. Swipe between them or tap to switch, and move tasks forward as you make progress. BREAK IT DOWN Add a checklist to any task and tick off the steps as you go. Press Return to move to the next step, check or uncheck the whole list in one tap, reorder items however you like, remove the ones you don't need, and see your progress right on the task list — "2 of 5" at a glance, without opening anything. STAY ON TOP OF WHAT MATTERS - Pin your most important tasks to the top of To Do or In Progress - Drag to reorder tasks exactly how you want them - Search instantly across task names, notes, and checklist items - Filter any list by due date — this week, month, quarter, or year — sorted earliest first - Select several tasks and move them to another list in one go - Add due dates and set alerts — local reminders 5 minutes, 15 minutes, an hour, or up to a week ahead, your choice - Tap an alert to jump straight to that task, and clear it when you're ready — it stays counted on the app icon until you do NOTHING GETS LOST Deleted a task by mistake? It's not gone — recover it anytime from the Deleted Tasks view before it's permanently purged. Set your own auto-cleanup schedule, or clear things out manually whenever you're ready. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Light, Dark, or System appearance, and pick your own accent color — from curated presets or a full custom color picker. In Light appearance, go further with Color Scheme: four warm, hand-picked palettes that recolor the whole app. Changed your mind? One tap puts it all back the way it started. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS TaskPlate doesn't require an account, doesn't use the cloud, and doesn't collect your data. Every task lives only on your device. No sign-up, no syncing servers, no tracking — just a private, fast to-do list. Please note: because nothing is sent to the cloud, your tasks are stored separately on each device and do not sync between your iPhone and iPad. Works great on iPhone and iPad.
