About

itsuka

Features
Read full description

itsuka (Japanese for "someday") is an app for gathering the things you want to do on one list. You can add Safari pages and screenshots from Photos with the Share button. Paste a list from Notes to add it all at once. Big things and everyday things go on the same list. - Visit a cat café - Make a bowl at a pottery class - Call home for no reason When you keep the things you want to do in different places, you lose track of them. If you gather them in itsuka, you'll see them again when you open the list. You don't have to do it now. "Someday" is a fine deadline. ◆ What you can do - Write down your wishes with a category and a deadline. - Paste a list from Notes or another app into the add screen to add it all at once, one wish per line. - Add from the Share button in other apps. The link or photo is saved with the wish. - Add a link to any wish by pasting a URL into the Link field on the add or edit screen. - Choose from four deadline options: "This Year," "Next Year," "Someday," and "No Deadline." There are no dates to pick. - The breakdown shows the number and percentage of your wishes in each of the 10 categories. You can see at a glance which categories have the most wishes and which have the fewest. - Check off a wish when you've done it and move it to the archive. You can attach a photo and a note to it. - Turn your list into images and share them on social media. Long lists are split into several images automatically, and you can choose which wishes to include. - Search, filter, and drag to reorder wishes. - Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. - Export and import backups to move your list to a new phone. Backups don't include attached photos. You can also export to CSV. - The app is available in English and Japanese and supports Dark Mode. ◆ itsuka Plus (one-time purchase) Buy once, use it for good. There's no subscription. - No limit on wishes or archived wishes (the free version holds up to 50 wishes and 100 in the archive). - Add up to 10 custom categories. - Home Screen widgets, with a privacy mode that hides wish names. - All Plus features added in the future are included. ◆ Finally You don't have to do everything on your list. "Someday is fine" is itsuka's motto. Write down one thing you'd like to do.
