The only to-do list app you'll ever need - because it does less. No notifications. No folders. No projects, tags, or productivity systems. Just your tasks, written down, checked off. YOUR LIST ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Pin your to-do list to the Lock Screen and check things off without even unlocking your phone. Add a widget to your Home Screen too — tap the circle, task done, right from the widget. MAKE IT TRULY YOURS Pick from 20 hand-crafted themes: handwriting on notebook grid paper, a ruled journal with a red margin, sticky-note marker, chalkboard, typewriter, green-on-black terminal, elegant serif, and more. Add an optional font color and the whole list — text, checkmarks, everything — follows. SIMPLE MEANS SIMPLE • Type a task, hit return, type the next one • Tap the circle to strike it out • Swipe left to delete, hold and drag to reorder • Clear all your done tasks in one tap PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party anything. Your tasks live on your device and nowhere else. Free. Simple. Yours.
