Worth knowing
Lists To do
- iPhone and iPad only: sync runs between iOS devices on the same iCloud account, and no Android, web or desktop version is listed.
- Sharing sends a list or an image of it; the listing does not describe lists that several people edit together.
- The App Store lists English as the app's only language.
- Extra theme colors and stickers are a $1.99 in-app purchase.
Things To Do
- There is no separate Mac version: Apple silicon Macs run the iPhone and iPad app, and there is no Android, Windows or web version.
- The App Store listing requires iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5 or macOS 26.5 or later.
- Lists leave the app only as exported text or a printout; the guide describes no lists that several people edit together.
- The vendor's guide covers no due dates or reminders; the only dates are trip dates on Travel lists.
Key features
Lists To do
- Lists and checklists
- Lists hold checkable items and take one of more than 150 category icons. Checked items can be kept at the bottom, and a whole list can be checked or unchecked at once.
- Sorting, pinning and moving
- Lists sort alphabetically, by creation date or by hand. A list can be duplicated, items moved between lists, and important lists or items pinned to the top.
- Reminders and upcoming feed
- Reminders are one-time or recurring: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. One feed shows the upcoming items from every list.
- iCloud sync
- Lists sync automatically between iOS devices signed in to the same iCloud account, with no setup.
- Statistics and badge count
- Each list shows its percentage complete and its unchecked count, and the app icon's badge can show the unchecked items for one list or for all lists.
- Share and print
- A list can be shared from inside the app, captured whole as an image to share or to set as a lock screen, or printed with AirPrint.
Things To Do
- Three list types
- A list is a To-Do, Shopping or Travel list, each with its own behavior, and its type can be switched later. The app asks first when a switch would change headers, locks or trip dates.
- Headers, stars and reordering
- Shopping and Travel lists group items under section headers, starred items rise to the top, and items are dragged into any order.
- Reusable lists with locked items
- Uncheck All resets a Shopping or Travel list for the next use. An item marked Keep Completed stays checked through the reset.
- Trip dates on Travel lists
- A Travel list takes a start and end date and shows how many nights the trip lasts, with packing items grouped by section.
- iCloud sync without an account
- Changes appear on every device signed in to the same iCloud account. There is no separate app account, and the data stays in the user's own iCloud.
- Import, export and print
- A list can be created from pasted text with one item per line, and any list or single task can be exported as text, copied or printed from the share sheet.
