Who each one suits
Daily Checklist
- People who plan one day at a time and check tasks off
- Keeping work, shopping and study lists in separate tabs
- Users who want a to-do app with no account and data kept on the device
Do!
- People who want a to-do list that looks and sounds like pen and paper
- Simple daily lists such as groceries, errands and routines
- Users who would rather pay once than subscribe to remove ads
Worth knowing
Daily Checklist
- The store listings say Free with in-app purchases but do not explain the trial; Google Play reviews from 2025 and 2026 say the app stops working after about a week without Premium.
- There is no live sync: data stays on the device and moves to another one only through backup and restore.
- It is for phones and tablets only. The site names iPhone and Android, and there is no web or desktop version.
- Premium costs $4.99 on the US App Store and $5.99 on Google Play.
Do!
- The free app shows ads, and removing them is a one-time purchase listed at $20.00 on the US App Store.
- There are apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android only; the vendor lists no web or desktop version.
- Sync means signing in with the same account in the same app on each device, and the vendor sells several separate editions.
- Backups are made through Dropbox or email; the listings mention no automatic cloud backup.
Key features
Daily Checklist
- A list for each day
- Today's tasks are checked off with one tap, a swipe moves between yesterday, today and tomorrow, and a task can be copied to today or tomorrow.
- Unlimited tabs
- Lists are separated into as many tabs as needed, such as Work, Shopping and Study, and each tab can hold its own notes.
- Recurring tasks
- A task can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and then appears on the list automatically on each due day.
- Priorities, notes and emojis
- Each task can have one of three priority levels, shown as a number of exclamation marks, a longer note, and one of more than 1,000 emojis.
- Date-free lists and notifications
- Static lists that are not tied to a date suit packing or grocery lists, and notifications with a custom message can be set for chosen days and times.
- Backup, CSV export and print
- Backup and restore moves data to another device, including between iPhone and Android. Data can be exported as CSV, and any list can be printed.
Do!
- Double-tap to check off
- A task is typed in as a line and marked done with a double tap, accompanied by sounds modeled on pen and paper.
- Themes and fonts
- Themes and fonts can be chosen to style the list, much as one would pick a favorite notebook.
- Groups, colors and pins
- Work, study and shopping can sit in separate groups, with colors to tell tasks apart and pins to keep chosen tasks in sight.
- Repeats and reminders
- Tasks can repeat daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and reminders can be added to the ones that must not be missed.
- Home screen widgets
- Widgets keep the list on the home screen, so it can be checked without opening the app.
- Sync, app lock and backups
- Signing in with the same account syncs tasks across devices. The app can be locked with a passcode or Face ID, and data backed up through Dropbox or email.
