Don't ignore your to-do list anymore. ListBox makes your Apple Reminders list impossible to ignore. A persistent home screen widget keeps your list always visible. Lock screen notifications stay present, keeping your list top of mind. Choose how insistent you want it to be โ€” from a quiet glance to a full nag. No new account. Apple Reminders stays your source of truth โ€” your lists live in iCloud, where they always have. ListBox only stores what's needed to deliver notifications: your selected list contents and your preferences. โ€” PERSISTENT VISIBILITY โ€” The widget on your home screen shows your top items at every glance. The lock screen notification stays in Notification Center even after newer alerts arrive. Your list comes to you, not the other way around. โ€” FOUR MODES, FOUR LEVELS OF INSISTENCE โ€” Quiet โ€” Ambient awareness. The widget updates; no notifications. Nudge โ€” A gentle ping every few hours during your active window. Persistent โ€” Steady reminders, every hour, keeping your list in front of you. Nag โ€” Frequent reminders for the things you absolutely cannot let slip. Switch modes anytime. Set your active window so notifications respect your evenings. โ€” BUILT ON APPLE REMINDERS โ€” Pick any list from your Reminders. Add, edit, check off, and delete items in either app โ€” they stay in sync via iCloud. Your data is yours, where it has always been. โ€” DESIGNED FOR FOCUS โ€” Adjustable display density (Comfort, Standard, Compact, Dense) lets you decide how much fits on your screen. Adaptive list colors match your selected Reminders list. Quiet, intentional design that disappears into the background until you need it. โ€” PRIVACY-FIRST โ€” No tracking, no analytics, no advertising. Ever. See our privacy policy for full details on what we store and why. โ€” REQUIREMENTS โ€” - iOS 18 or later - Apple Reminders permission - Notifications permission (optional, for non-Quiet modes) ListBox is made by Cassileth Studio LLC in Los Angeles, California.

Yetly remembers the small stuff you do on repeat. Water the plant. Change the filter. Replace the toothbrush head. Free, in full. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads. A calendar wants a date, and real life does not work like that. Yetly holds two facts about each thing: when you last did it, and how often it needs doing. Mark it done and the next one moves itself. You never reschedule anything. No streaks. No scores. Nothing turns red. One nudge when something is due, and it does not come back to nag you. Late is written in warm amber, and if you slip for a month, Yetly is just glad to see you. What people keep in here: Water the fiddle leaf, every 5 days Change the HVAC filter, every 3 months Replace contact lenses, every 2 weeks Descale the coffee machine, every month Smoke detector battery, every year Type the name and Yetly picks an icon, or pick your own emoji. Everything is included: as many things as you like, a reminder for each at a time you choose, Done and Not yet right on the notification, a note on every thing, search, light and dark, backup and restore, every home screen and lock screen widget, a quiet suggestion when what you actually do drifts from the cadence you set, and the entire Apple Watch app with complications. No account, no ads, no analytics, no server. Your list never leaves your phone, which is also why Yetly does not sync between devices yet. Backups travel as a file, so you can move them yourself. Better to know that now than to be surprised later. Not yet? Yetly.
