• Users who organize with color-coded lists and sublists
• Households sharing a shopping list between Premium accounts

Reminders: Todo List & Notes

• The web app, automatic cloud backup and sync between devices all need Premium.
• The vendor's site gives no prices and points to the in-app upgrade screen; the prices here are from the US App Store listing.
• The App Store lists two Lifetime upgrade purchases, at $49.99 and $69.99, without saying how they differ.
• There is no desktop app: on a computer the only option is the Premium web app.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

• Device sync, automatic cloud backup, shared lists and the web app all require Premium.
• The free version is limited to 3 tags, and restoring a manual backup needs a donation or a Premium subscription.
• The vendor's site gives no prices: the US App Store lists two prices each for the monthly and yearly plans, and Google Play shows $0.99 to $69.99 per item.
• The iPhone and iPad app was announced in July 2026, requires iOS 26 or later, and its version numbers are still below 1.0.

Reminders: Todo List & Notes

Lists, tags and priorities

Tasks are grouped into color-coded lists and can carry a priority, a star, tags and notes. Items are reordered by drag and drop, and a quick-add bar skips the detail screen.

Notifications and alarms

A reminder fires once or on a recurring schedule such as daily or weekly, and can arrive as a notification or as an alarm.

Built-in and custom filters

Today, All, Starred and Calendar lists come built in. Custom filters combine criteria, for example high-priority reminders due in the next 7 days, or every task with a given tag.

Calendar view and widgets

A calendar view shows tasks by day. On Android, resizable home screen widgets display any list or one day of the calendar.

Premium backup, sync and web app

Premium backs data up to the cloud automatically, syncs phones and tablets across Android and iOS, and opens the same lists in a browser.

Privacy and manual backup

The vendor says data is encrypted on the device, in transit and in the cloud and is never shared or sold. A Backup/Restore option in Settings saves a local file.

Tasks: To Do List & Reminders

Lists, sublists and subtasks

Lists are color-coded, reordered by drag and drop and can be divided into sublists. Tasks take subtasks, notes, priorities and flags.

Reminders and alarms

Tasks can have one-time or recurring notifications and alarms, and a task can be marked done or snoozed from the notification without opening the app.

Filtered lists, tags and calendar view

A filtered list gathers every task with a chosen tag, and a calendar view shows tasks by date. The free version allows 3 tags; Premium removes the limit.

Home screen widget

A widget mirrors the app on the home screen, so the day's tasks can be seen and a list opened with a tap.

Sync, backup and web app

Premium adds device-to-device sync, automatic cloud backup and a web app that runs in any browser. A manual backup to a local file is available in Settings.

Shared lists

A Premium user can create a shared list and invite others with a link. The list admin can lock the list against new members or remove a person.
