Daylist is a simple daily list app for writing down what needs doing, seeing what matters today, and keeping the right lists on your Home Screen. Start with Today, your default list for the things you want to get done now. Add items quickly, organize simple side lists like Groceries or Work, and use widgets to keep any list visible without opening the app. Daylist also understands simple repeat phrases. Add “every day”, “every week”, “every month”, or “every year” to an item, and it becomes recurring automatically. Built for people who want less setup and more clarity. Features: • Today list by default • Custom lists for anything else • Home Screen widgets for your lists • Simple recurring items • Fast, natural text input • Clean, calm design • No complicated system to maintain Daylist is for quick planning, everyday tasks, repeating chores, shopping lists, work lists, and anything you want to keep visible.
Daily Checklist
Read full descriptionHide full description
Routine is a private, focused checklist for the tasks you repeat—and the occasional task you need to do once. Create a task, add one or more schedules, and see the items due today in time order. Check off a task when you complete it; that checkmark applies only to that scheduled occurrence, so a repeating task is ready to complete again the next day. Each occurrence is tracked independently, so checking off one task never marks another one done. FEATURES • Schedule tasks every day, on weekdays or weekends, on selected days of the week, on specific days of the month, or just once • Add multiple times and schedules to the same task • Set multiple reminders: at the task time or 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes beforehand • See today's routine at a glance, with current and past items visually distinguished • Mark scheduled occurrences complete from the app or Home Screen widget • Add optional details to tasks • Pin important tasks, search by title or details, and sort the full task list • Pause a task without deleting it • Preview the Home Screen widget and choose its text size, how much task history to show, and whether to show descriptions • Use small, medium, large, circular, or rectangular widgets Your tasks and completion status are stored on your device. Routine is designed to stay simple, fast, and private.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Daily Checklist at 17.0 against Daylist's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
