Baseline is a checklist for tracking the things you want to do every day. Build your list once. It comes back every morning. Add things as you go, check things off, skip what you need to. Keep track of what keeps you grounded. Your basics - medications, movement, meals, water, workouts, reading, reminders - all on one screen. Three item types cover almost everything: checks (done or not), counters (tap to increment toward a target), and trackers (log a value like weight, sleep, or miles). Baseline is free, forever. The free app includes unlimited tasks, all three item types, all scheduling options, day brackets, and 10 starter templates. No ads. No algorithms. No data collection. Everything stays on your device. BASELINE PRO Baseline Pro adds 10 more templates plus three features and three advanced tools that let you do more: Focus - A single-task view for priorities. One item at a time. Complete it. Move on. Insight - Your week at a glance. What you completed, what you pushed, what's trending up or down. Intention - A short morning note and an evening reflection. A quiet framing for your day. Connect - Keep up with your connections. Set a cadence for reaching out to your friends and family. Cycle - Multi-step plans that run on your daily list. A more detailed tool for keeping up with complex tasks. Practice - Track anything you're building. Set a pace, measure progress, watch the target move with you. Baseline Pro also includes all themes and every feature we build next. WHAT YOU GET - Unlimited tasks at every tier - Fast, keyboard-friendly entry - Day brackets to break up your to-do list: morning, afternoon, and evening - Clean export of all your data at any time - No account, no sign-in, no cloud WHAT MAKES BASELINE DIFFERENT - No streaks. Missing a day doesn't undo your work. - No social features. Your list is yours. - No cloud. Everything stays on your phone. - No ads. No data collection. No algorithms. - Built around your list, not around engagement metrics. We built Baseline for ourselves. Our lives work better with structure, and every productivity tracker or checklist app we tried felt overcomplicated and overconnected. We wanted to replace waking up and doomscrolling with looking over the most important parts of our day. So we built something simple that works, and made it free so it can work for you, too. Most apps want you engaged with their product. Baseline wants you engaged with your life. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
