Almost perfect for me!. This is the only task mgmt/to do list app amongst a multitude that has ever actually worked for me. It’s simple & effective. I’m not even sure I use the pro features I paid extra for, but it’s been so helpful to me that I don’t care. My biggest frustration/complaint is that I don’t use the pomodoro feature & REALLY wish the double-tap to edit/single-tap to focus gestures were switched around, or there was the option to change that in settings. Accidentally tapping an item & having to back out of focus mode is an annoyance that interrupts my productivity flow. Swiping right to go between lists is also touchy & often results in nearly deleting tasks. The ability to move tasks from one list to another would be VERY welcome as well. (Also: Does clearing completed tasks remove them from the stats as well? I’m afraid to try it & find out! 😬) Meanwhile, keep up the great work: The developers clearly care about the app & make continuous improvements, & I always appreciate that! ❤️

So helpful and neurodivergent friendly. as an autistic person with adhd and various mental illnesses, motivating myself can be very difficult. i enjoy structure, but list making can be overwhelming and hard to keep up with, not to mention how boring it can get. i discovered this app 4 and a half years ago, and since then i've used it to create many different lists for a variety of purposes (from wishlists to gratitude lists to daily to-dos and more). as well, the simple pomodoro timer that pops up when you click an item on the list has been invaluable in me getting papers done both in high school and now in college. i have the premium version of the app, which i feel is 100% worth the money- the ability to customize lists and the app icon, as well as the expanded ability of the pomodoro timer have kept me motivated to continue list making and has kept me productive whenever i use the app. the widget feature is also handy, as i need visually interesting reminders on my home screen to remind me the list exists. thank you, minimalist!!!

Simple, works, but there’s more inside. The apps that I find most useful are the ones that are very easy to start but then grow with you and have a very minimal interface. From the very first screen with sample tasks and instructions, I was already using the app productively. This does not replace my more sophisticated task management apps. Personally I use this alongside ToDoist. But… Little things that come up I need to be done but don’t need to go into the task management tool go here. Things in the task management tool, but I want to be able to focus on without distraction, also go here. Mostly, in the scope of a single day, I need to track both work and personal items and bigger abs have a hard time doing that without a lot of overhead effort, scheduling or tagging or filtering, etc. I like this straight off.

Decent App. The Minimalist lives up to its name. It’s a decent app overall. I like how it easily syncs to Google and iOS Calendar. There are a few issues that bug me though. I dislike having to pinch zoom to view multiple lists. Id prefer a one-handed option. Also, when the list is full, it often takes multiple tries to be able to pinch just right. It would also make more sense to pinch zoom inward from upper right and from lower left instead of from upper left and from lower right, as the text has a tendency to block the gesture. Another issue I have is how tapping on items brings you to Focus Mode. I rarely use the focus mode and constantly inadvertently tap to that page. I ’d prefer options for to choose to decide what action takes place after tapping; one of the options being to edit mode instead of having swipe left slightly, which often leads me to the “are you sure remove the task?” query if I swipe a bit too hard. Although these issues are minor, adding them and other issues that I may mention later together leads to wasted time and not wanting to use the app much. I like the design and layout, but the unintuitive gestures ruins it.

Everything you need. I’m the kind of person who is constantly looking for a great way to organize all of my tasks. Between working part time and being in college full-time, I feel like I always have something that needs to be done, but can’t always put a finger on it. Having this app, able to organize your lists, and even put them right on your home screen to lock screens with always assessable is extremely helpful. The interface is nice and easy, once you get used to it, you can also customize it for a low premium price, it’s also super satisfying being able to just swipe off a task you already completed. I also like that I can look back and see all the task that I completed, and stats on when I did them. Super recommend, especially after I’ve tried so many other to do list apps

Perfect For Its Simplicity. AUGUST 2021 REVIEW UPDATE HELP App was working great until this month. Constantly syncing, constantly freezing, booting me out. I removed the app and reinstalled- lost all my settings and mixed up what I already crossed off with what still needs to be done. I want my great app back! I use this app EVERYDAY and it does what I need it to do- keep track of things I need to get done. Nothing fancy, very low learning curve The only reason this isn’t a 5 Star review is because I would Like to see the name of my lists in bold at the top of each separate list I make. If it’s DAILY CHORES , then I’d like to see that on the top, same thing if it’s just the current date. I would Like a mode where my list titles are visible along the top so that I can easily see them and access them. I can use the “pinch” method, but actually seeing the other titles as I am using one would be a great help. These are just my particular quirks, but great app overall!

Simple & Effective. As a university student, keeping track of tasks, assignments, and events is incredibly important. I have a physical planner I use for my assignments and events, but I am constantly looking for a good app to use for writing down all my tasks and other stuff, like grocery lists. Other apps are either too busy and difficult to adjust to, functional but unappealing to the eye, or nearly perfect but requires a ridiculous monthly fee. I used this app once and fell in love. It only took a couple of days for me to break down and pay for the lifetime membership of around $8, which I found reasonable. (You can also pay in monthly or yearly payments (both very affordable), but I found the $8 an easier choice.) The interface is simple, but appealing, and acts similar to if I was just writing with a pad and pen. You can edit the theme, there's a timer for concentration, notifications, and you can sync with your other Apple devices, too. One thing I ask to the developers: can you please add the ability to move around the individual group pages? Sometimes I want different pages to be next to each other, but currently there's only the ability to delete them. A small fix, but fantastic app overall!

Beautifully simple to-do list app!. EDITED! (Read the end...) This app is as simple and sleek as pen-and-paper with the added bonus of reminders and notifications so that you don’t forget anything. The only complaint I have is that the widget for the iPhone homescreen doesn’t have the same aesthetic appeal that the app does. If the developers fix that one problem, this app would be perfect!! (I still decided to pay the lifetime price because it was only four bucks.) EDIT: I contacted MinimaList through the “contact us” feature in settings about the widget problem I was having. They got back to me super fast and helped me fix the problem!! Now my widget has the same font as my app and looks fantastic!! I have absolutely no more complaints about this app. Go download it already! And to me, the fonts and color options were worth paying the lifetime price for because it helps me keep my homescreen aesthetic.

So simple!. So when I say I’ve tried every task management system out there, I mean it. Currently I am using Asana (but now MinimaList) and although I love Asana for its many, many features, I’m not sure I am completing as many tasks as I’d like because I’m too busy trying to find what I’m looking for or resetting when it should remind me. With MinimaList - I’m already productive! It too simple not to be. I absolutely love the feature the notifications: it reminds you and you can snooze. Because guess what, life gets busy and sometimes you need to snooze for another 15 minutes. That feature blows every other task management system out of the water. I also love how minimalist (hence the name) the app looks! Personally, I believe the pro version is the best. I need multiple lists, and other devise access. This app, though so simple is so perfect! Thank you designers! As a note, one thing that could’ve helped when I first download was showing me where the tutorial screen is. I found it eventually but to all the new owners, there is a tutorial in your menu. Go find it, it makes finding all the wonderful features a lot easier.

For $6, no thanks. The simplicity is refreshing and the concept is a good one (and the name is really adorable) but my issue is with real world functionality and the fact you have to pay $6 for Premium to make more than 1 list and this didn’t seem clear to me up front. I don’t know any list maker who needs just one list and lets be real, if one wants to make only 1 list there are plenty of other applications out there that do just that and then some, for free. I will say that the only maybe plus side is that with your 1 list and a tap you can add a 25 minute focus timer, but again, I can with only a minor amount more effort do the same thing by turning on my phone timer. I can completely understand the need for apps to monetize and I am not making fault with that practice. I can totally see requiring a premium subscription after say, 3 or 5 lists, but 1 list? My suggestion is just make it a paid app from the beginning instead so people have a true idea of what they can expect. That, or make it very clear in the description what people can expect with the free version vs the premium so expectations don’t get misaligned.

Got my life back on track 🧸🎀. I’m in Highschool and I have terrible ADHD it’s always a daily struggle getting ready in the mornings, especially because I have 0 conception of time. I’m late to almost everything school, doctors appointments, sleepovers, you name it I’m late. I come into school missing my first hour almost every day and the days I wouldn’t miss my first hour id usually stay home from lack of motivation. But this app has changed that, not only am I able to get my life back on track, but it has given me a second chance at success. I was afraid I would fail school and have to retake a grade or do summer school, and I was so worried my mother would go to jail for truancy after I got a truancy letter, and I didn’t know how to prevent it. So I downloaded some apps to try and help me keep on track. This one was my favorite, not only can you turn it into a widget, but it also has a time focus option so you stay on track and do what you need to do in a certain amount of time. 10/10 recommend 🧸🎀

Fantastic Clutter Free List Keeper. I’m fairly new to the app, but I’ve tried many apps and planners over the years. One of the simplest things that has worked for me has just been keeping a Notes page with checklists in separate chunks. But there were some limitations to that because things you finish don’t move to the button and it can be cumbersome and cluttered. As soon as you download this app, you can enjoy the simplicity right away. You are not immediately hit with any kind of push for premium upgrades and can use enough of the features to benefit from it. I like that I can sort of keep multiple lists nicely organized on one page by using the subtask feature because out of sight is out of mind for me. It has a really minimalist nice view. And I love the intuitive user experience of how you can quickly add tasks, switch between lists, reorder items, see all lists at a glance, cross off items, and shake away old finished tasks. I will see how it syncs with the laptop, because it’s important to me to be able to access the lists from multiple devices. This is a great less-is-more app that still gives you the option of using other neat features like focus tools and color coding. I did pay for the upgrade to check out the other features and support the app, but even the free version was better than mostly everything else I’ve tried as a mix of digital handiness with written list simplicity!

Minimal & effective, highly recommend!. MinimaList might just be my favorite app! I’ve been using it daily for a few months now. The app has taken my productivity & focus to the next level. It’s user friendly, shortcuts are easy to adopt, and it has a simple, modern interface. I love that you can customize anything from the appearance of the lists to that of the app icon. Within the app, you also have the ability to move lists & tasks around. I especially like being able to move tasks quickly from one list to another. There are 2 features in particular that I love: • Since the app is available on other apple products (e.g., iMac), you can sync your lists between devices & get more things done. • Stats are available on a weekly, monthly, & yearly basis, allowing you to see how your productivity & focus have increased over time. In addition, it is relatively simple to contact support & they reply in a very timely manner. Overall, I cannot express how much this app has helped. I look forward to its continued updates. A note to/feedback for the developer: • I think the ability to group lists together would be pretty cool! • Sometimes, when my lists are syncing between devices, there’s a little bit of a lag. • Lastly, although uncommon, MinimaList will unexpectedly shut down, on either my iMac or MacBook, from time to time. A potential cause is that I sometimes have it open on both devices. Thanks again for creating this app, 100% recommend!

Good app.. So before I got this app I read a lot of reviews. I lot of them said this is the best app ever and some said it was really confusing. In my option I agree with both. So at first I did not understand anything. It didn’t direct me at all where everything was. But then after like 5 minutes I could understand almost everything. I like this app a lot. I use it everyday. And whenever I need to do something I just put it in there. And everyday I check things I cross out the ones that I already did. So if this was a math quiz I would give your assignment an A- only because it was really confusing. If the creators of this app are reading this the app awesome but I would recommend putting something to make people go WOW this app is the bomb. I know no one says that but the app will make them like it so much that it will make them say that! Thank you, this app is still GREAT though

Such a great tool!. I’ve been searching for something like this for a while and tried many apps without being entirely happy about. And finally I found this - simple, easy to use, shows everything (including the specific due date even it’s 2-3 days from today. Other apps would just label them “someday” without showing the date) And it’s also genius to integrate the Pomo thing to this app and you can customize focusing time too! Sooo good for students!! THE ONLY ONE bug/complain I have is I order tasks by their due date, but sometimes the further dues get in front of the more urgent ones... and it seems the default time zone has a problem too. Not sure which time zone it currently uses, definitely NOT US eastern time... hope it can fix it quickly and let everyone choose their own appropriate time zone. Thanks!

Between Minimalist, Due about 20 other apps I’ve tried, even paid for…. This is the best one. If you’re like me you just want app that with an simple, efficient, and intuitive interface. And an aesthetically pleasing design as well. If you’re even more like me still, you can easily fall prey to spending hours of your life searching for just the right app; “it has to be out there!”, you keep thinking, “surely there’s something just a little closer to what I’m looking for”. You thirsty, and aggravated, as you tap, and swipe, tap, and scroll, you just want it end, but you’ve already invested SO MUCH TIME SEARCHING! The appointment and things you were going to use the app for are long gone and forgotten! NO I CANT STOP! IT CANT ALL BE FOR NOTHIIIIIIING! Yeah, trust me, I already did that, don’t do that. You’re freeee! And it’s freeee! You don’t need a premium subscription either. Go now! Live! But if you’re like me that won’t stop you either.

Simple and Powerful. I have used many different ways to remember tasks on my phone, computer, and physical notes. This is the best app I have ever seen for taking notes. Let me be clear, this app does not have many of the features of other apps such at the notes app, however that is one of the main draws for me. This app allows you to write down notes, tasks, whatever you choose with just one swipe. It is such a small thing, but the efficiency with which I am able to make a list is so much better than anything else I have tried. I am also very impressed with the devs continued support. There are constant updates coming out and they always keep things fresh adding new feature such as subtasks! Anyways, if you are looking for a simple and easy way to keep track of things, this app is perfect.

Just try it. I got this app a few months ago in the beginning of my journey to organize my life. I used it here and there but never fully got into it. I came back to it not too long ago and realized that the vip features were able to be bought for 5.99 one time fee. I personally love when they do that because i hate subscription because i never remember i have them. (why i kind of need this app in the first place) You can make a list delete and add things with ease. you can add widgets to your home screen which lets you see you list very clearly and quickly add to it if needed. the purchase gives you access to all the abilities they have and let’s you add all the things you want. you can also make multiple lists for different things. set different times for things to come up or a certain schedule. The free version is great and i would still use it both versions work incredibly and have a great interface thats simple to use the “shortcuts” take a bit to remember but regardless a very user friendly app that has a lot of great features they also have many other apps like budgeting and habit tracking trying those out now but this one i would highly recommend

Easiest and BEST. I love the simple style and keeps my up to date with everything I need. I’ve had a couple concussions so remember the things I need or want to do can be difficult for me, but this has made my ability to stay organized and on top of everything 100% better. My favorite feature is actually something so simple and that is the strikeout for completed tasks. Every now and then I’ve noticed that I, and some of my friends, get burnt out by feeling like you’re doing so much in a day but not accomplishing anything at the same time. The strikeout once I’ve completed a task, thing I wanted to do, or was able to remember to get an item at the store that I would’ve forgotten about makes me feel like I’m actually accomplishing more and the fulfillment helps.

Perfect. Rarely review anything on anything but this app takes the cake on to do lists and honestly apps in general. Everyone’s got so much extra stuff they try to shove at your face that’s totally unnecessary and a lot of the time annoying. The opposite here. The name of the app is exactly how it behaves, minimally and without interference. Beautifully designed, it’s sleek, responsive and intuitive. Precisely what I was looking for and it doesn’t even cost anything to use the most important features. I might buy the premium just to support the company cause I’m so grateful that they delivered exactly what they said they would without any of the usual garbage a lot of these app developers try to throw at you. No annoying adds? Clean, OCD friendly design? What! F’n’A right this is the lit-est to do/organize app I’ve ever seen or had the pleasure of giving a permanent spot on my very small and limited Home Screen. Well done.

Stop. It’s too good, stop reading the reviews and download the free app. Then after using the free version which has the basic functionality and not too many reminders to download the full version you will upgrade cause you will want more lists and cooler reminders and stuff. I love this app it looks very simple and minimalistic however it actually has more and more secret options I discover. With the full version you can get alerts when you leave or arrive somewhere. There is a focus timer, detailed notification settings for time and day and repeat, it syncs with your calendar, there’s a history for all past items checked off that goes back pretty far. You can customize the colors and font and size etc for each list individually (only multiple lists with premium which is like $3). Lastly lists can be organized by date added date of notification like with calendar on, manually, there are also labels with 4 tiers of importance so even with time sorting you can override to have something at the top.

First thing on your checklist Buy this app.. I have downloaded pretty much all the apps out there for checklists, productivity, paid ones mind you. This one is the best by a country mile. I never thought I would find something better than good old pen and pad because all the apps try to do too much. MinimaList is simple and intuitive but also packed with features. You decide how deep you go. The best feature for me and one that sets it apart is allowing me to create a reminder to repeat a task at the interval of my choosing, including custom, like every 4 days for example. GREAT for business and client follow up. Do yourself a favor and go pro up front. it’s worth the money, it’s actually a steal. ALSO the developers are very open and receptive to user insights and will have a dialogue with you about it. This app has already paid for itself exponentially since it’s helping me get things done which directly affect my bottom line. Pomodoro, GTD, whatever you productivity protocol this app works. I don’t typically write reviews but when something comes along that changes the way I do business and make money and costs less than a sandwich then I want to spread the word.

So much potential but a lot of bugs. I have tried A LOT of to do list apps and I really feel like this one could be the best one I’ve ever tried. I love the layout, the minimal look of the app does so much to help me stay focused and not get overwhelmed with my list. However, the bugs make it somewhat difficult to use which can be frustrating, especially after paying for the lifetime pro version. The most prominent bugs are the drop down menu that moves tasks between lists and notification errors. When I am trying to move tasks between lists the drop down menu often just doesn’t work and I am unable to move my tasks around. I have to try sometimes 10 or more times to move them. Also, the notifications for a task continue to go off, even if I have already marked that task as complete. If some of these bugs would get worked out, I would be so impressed with this app and be a loyal user. On a personal note, and to echo another review I read: it would be nice to be able to change the time and date edit to one click and the pomodoro focus timer to two clicks. It seems much for intuitive to me as I am more apt to want to quickly change dates and times.

Simple, straightforward, effective. I’m a big fan of this app. It’s not over complication- this is very important. It has what you need while not shoving all the features in your face. As someone with high medical needs, i struggle to stay on top of every referral, test, appointment, medication trial, vital sign tracking. This app sort of neutralizes the anxiety i associate with most of my to do list based attempts that made me feel like I’d never get all this done. This tracks stuff to a higher and more detailed level while also innately supporting my progress without me realizing vs burning out or being discouraged. This is just one persons opinion, i figure why not share it since a lot of features are free and it doesn’t hurt to try, yanno? It’s funny writing this, falling into the saying around people only review if something is either great or just terrible. Luckily i think this is great

False Advertising - Where are the widgets?!. I wanted a widget on my Home Screen that would show me my daily tasks. I don’t like how the native reminders app worked for this so I started looking for a new one. This app looks nice, had a good rating and the preview images say they have a home screen widget so I tried it. I really like how you create lists and tasks and the part that really sold me was being able to set the recurrence of a task to be specific days of the week. For example: every week on Monday and Thursday. LOVED that. I do wish we could set an end date, but that’s a minor thing to me. I immediately went and got the pro subscription. After creating my list I went to add the widget to my home screen and…nothing. I tried typing the app name in the widget search…still nothing. I went into the app settings and clicked on widgets settings and the screen shots show how to add the widget to the hidden widget page (the one that you slide out by swiping right on your fist home screen) and that you had to add the widget to that section where you put widgets that haven’t been updated to the newer widget system. Keep in mind that the preview on the App Store shows that you can add the widget to a HOMESCREEN. I was annoyed but went to add the widget to the slide out screen anyways and again, nothing. There are NO WIDGETS. What the heck?!

Great “To Do List” App with a few flaws (my opinion). I LOVE that you can list your lists but I HATE that every time I edit a list I have to RESET the alarm on the task. Why can’t I just edit this list without the alarm resetting…ugh. I LOVE the fact that I can check on things on my to do lists but on the next day the tasks that I check off DISAPPEAR, like I didn’t accomplish ANYTHING…ugh. (I noticed lately it’s not erasing what I checked off within a list. I will see if it was an update or something I programmed better). I WISH the widget didn’t just appear on my home page of my phone’s apps but I am glad it’s in my notifications. Basically, please make sure the app can save tasks completed with a LIST until I CHECK the entire list as completed. This is why the app is a 4 out 5. Don’t get me wrong. The app is good…just kinda glitchy and it is not saving tasks with a list from day to day.

Love this to do app + one button improvement request. After using SO many kinds of to-do apps, this one is definitely my favorite. Simple, minimal, very clean, and has enough functions to make it helpful without overwhelming with a million functions and options (can enter just the due date, reminders and switch between multiple lists) and the price is great. It actually makes me feel more organized rather than making me feel overwhelmed with choices. The only thing I’d love to see is an improved button to switch between my different lists. I think currently, you hold down the list name at the top of screen to get to the view of your various lists, but the button to press down (i.e. current list name) is so small and it goes in and out of view constantly. I’d say I can only get to the full list view I want like 20% of the time successfully. If this can be improved that would be 11/10. Otherwise, wonderful productivity app - thank you!

Good, simple checklist app. I always have a lot on my plate, so I maintain a detailed, long-running checklist in another app, which is great for the big picture, but gets a bit overwhelming to use from day to day. I usually end up jotting a shorter to-do list on a Post-it note or mini legal pad of the few things I need to focus on and get done. So as my creative work shifts more and more to coffee shops (love that iPad Pro!) I was hoping I could bring this into the digital realm as well. MinimaList seems to fit the bill nicely. It’s not a feature-heavy to-do list with nested checkboxes and tons of metadata; it reads like a simple scratchpad you can cross things off as you get them done. The paradigm of gestures and all the settings take a short time to get used to, but once they’re in place it works great as a simple daily checklist. I have it synced on both my iPhone and my iPad Pro and use both equally, and while I often launch the app itself, the widget is just as useful to check what’s next or to tick off items as they get done. I get the sense from the settings page that there are some functionalities I haven’t figured out yet; time will tell, but for now it does just what I want it to do. I haven’t used the pomodoro functionality yet, but I use the pomodoro method from time to time so I’ll have to check that out soon. Great app, looking forward to seeing it develop!

Phenomenal App & Even Better People Behind the Scenes. This app has steadily been helping me be able to just live day to day. MinimaList has helped my ADHD and anxiety swirling brain manage and focus on what I need to do & helps me realize things that aren’t necessary. It’s extremely easy to navigate. I’ve tried SO many other apps and while they are pretty with designs and such it’s just too much of a “learning how to use the app”. This is a simple, yet very effective, brain dump for me, with options to make a list more in depth if I need too. Adding it as a widget to my home screen only adds to the effectiveness. I normally keep scratches of paper all over and lose it and forget, but everyone’s on their phone at least 1x a day and it’s nice to have it right in front of me. As well as allowing it to continue through my connective devices. Download it, delete the others. This is one that’ll stay on my phone forever. Thank you

I’m surprised. It is intuitive. I bet the creator of the app uses it, because this is very refined. At first I was just into the simple main page without any complications, but I’ve been finding the other features to be quite nice the more I use it. Also I use this over Onenote for quick stuff even though I an a Onenote fanboy, because this app MinimaList opens on a dime like within half a second and I don’t have to navigate through menus to get to typing the note. That is important to me since I can quickly forget what I was going to write......P......I really like the reverse pinch to quickly see all other lists, and the swipe from edge to immediately get to the next list. So freaking quick and smooth! The pull down to add a note feels good. The option to change fonts and the background is something else I like though I’m not sure if I’ll use it as I seem to be kickin it real nice with the dark mode so far..........P.............I haven’t used the Stats page yet. However maybe after a few months of using the app I will find that the statistics re my tasks and successes help to give perspective. They do say to know history or you are doomed to repeat it after all........P........Anyways, I’m loving it so far, my thanks to the creator of the app!

Simple and intuitive. I’m always on the hunt for the greatest productivity app. I’m a diagnosed ADHD college student studying drafting who also works full time and I also live on my own, so to do lists are significant in my life. Not only do I need a to do list, but I need a ridiculously simplified, easy, and attractive to do list. I need to be able to delete and edit with a couple finger motions, the UI needs to be attractive but not distracting, and I need it to work with Siri for the times I remember a task in my middle of driving. If you’re like me, this app is perfect. Also, something about shaking your phone to clear a list and then receiving an aesthetically pleasing free wallpaper feels more rewarding than any of those habit tracking rpg apps I’ve used. The only thing I’d love to have in the app would be the option for a subtask. I don’t think I’d care for having multiple levels of sub tasks (it would start to look like an outline), so just one would be fine. Being able to organize my list based on class or type would add to the clean feeling of my list rather than titling something “Math class - do your homework”

Very useful. Are use the app on a daily basis to help me keep track of the important test I have to do throughout the day. It keeps me organized and I am the type of person that needs to have something in my face every day in order for me to remember so I’ll make sure to put the app as a widget on my phone so that when I open my phone, I always see it and it reminds me that I have these important things to do and I like that the app has the features very flexible and I’m not sure if you’re able to customize. I haven’t tried that out yet, but I would like to have a customized it all cute and stuff so that is more aesthetically pleasing but other than that I really like the app is easy to use. It’s not difficult at all and I definitely recommend, all five stars

Is this the best self improvement app ever?!?!. Yes, yes it is. Minimalist’s Widgets have helped me to stay on top of things I need to get done. Ever since getting the app I have stopped mindlessly scrolling because I see the widget on my Home Screen showing me things I could be doing instead and go do those things. Not only is this for people trying to improve themselves it’s for anyone; if you are currently in school this app is way better than notes or anything else for writing down your homework because it shows right on your Home Screen and stops procrastination immediately. I thank minimalist for so much because of how much it has helped me give the free version a try and if you like it (you will) buy the super cheap 6 dollar PER YEAR membership!

Used to be a 5 but they stopped being minimal. The app used to be great for quick reminders/to do’s to throw on a list. No nonsense, could set a reminder, done. Now though, it’s become overly complicated where it takes an extra click to edit an existing item, among extra clicks for other things. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but for someone that works for a software company, it adds up quickly, quickly become annoying, and an overall negative user experience. I’ve found myself jumping to the Apple option instead (cleaner, simpler, intuitive, and just works). Though still have items in this one, so still find myself using it but likely not in the long term. As noted in the subject this was a 5 star app, but as I write this it has gone from a 3 to a 2. Give it a go to see if you like it, but I won’t be recommending this to people as I did in the past. Update: Thanks for the response! Found those settings, which got it back to how it used to be. So appreciate that! Also found other settings worth using. I would suggest having a quick “update” tutorial to highlight changes and things like that. Also bumped up this review score.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. i NEVER write reviews, but as a student with terrible short term memory and a hectic life this app is just perfect. i had been using a google doc for my checklists (i don’t like the more complicated planning apps because it takes too much time to set up and use), but i wanted to be able to see the checklist on a widget on my phone. i’ve tried notion, todoist, reminders, google calendar, and more. stopped using all of them within three days. then i found this app and it does that and more!!! it’s so clean and simple and even has a pomodoro timer and notification scheduling options for each task. i love how easy and quick it is to make new tasks, delete them, and clear the completed tasks. and nothing cluttering the interface to distract me and make me forget what i was going to add! i’m just praying some of these options don’t make you subscribe or pay to use them, because then it will become my favorite task manager.

Great Productivity App. This is a great productivity app! I'm a grad student with ADD/ADHD, so my phone is both a godsend-of-information and a time-wasting-curse. What I love about this app is that it sends me a notification to setup my to do list everyday, and it syncs with my calendar so my calendar schedule populates as a task to accomplish. The issues I've had with other productivity apps is that I'll write things down and forget that I wrote them. This app works around that issue for me by displaying a notification bubble with the number of tasks I have left to complete. As you complete a task and check it off your to do list, the number goes down and until the list is complete. I hate seeing notifications, so this really helps me get my tasks complete. Also there is a "focus mode" that allows you to tap the task you want to focus on for a set period of time (5-50 minutes). When that feature is activated, the app sends a pop up message every time you pickup your phone telling you to put down your phone you should be working on your task. I mindlessly pickup my phone to scroll through social media apps or check my emails, and that reminder helps me refocus my mind on what I should be working on.

Helps me get my work done and stay focused. I have a short attention span and I constantly forget what I meant to do. I have tried a few different task-organizing apps and sticky-note type apps, but found all of them inadequate except for this one. This MinimaList app is amazing. I’m using the free version which has been pretty good so far. It is simple, easy to use, and intuitive. I like how I can easily rearrange my task list in the order I want (believe it or not, this is not an option for some other apps). I LOVE the Pomodoro function - if you click on a task, the Pomodoro timer sets 25min during which the phone encourages you to stop touching the phone and to focus on your task. You can adjust the focus-time, and choose background sound to forest/rain/etc. This function is amazing! My productivity has markedly increased thanks to this app. I would give this app 10 stars out of 5 if I could.

This one…. I was looking for a to do list that is JUST that. A to-do list. I don’t need bells & whistle’s, I don’t need icons or connection to my calendar- I need to open up a living document and just keep going with my train of thought. I downloaded about five different to-do list apps at one time to test and this one was the ONLY keeper. I also liked that this can be added as a widget to the iPhone home screen, very helpful! It allows for voice dictation which is a must have. The interface is clean and simple and doesn’t include any ads or junk that you don’t need - it simply exists to help you keep track of a limited number of tasks. It does what it says it will - nothing more, nothing less. It is perfection.- wrote that a while back- Have had Minimalist for months- still perfection.

Frustrating Gestures. I really wanted to love this app. The simple aesthetic and basic functionality is really appealing, and the “focus” function which allows you to use this as a simple time tracker is also very helpful. But after the 50th time deleting or ticking off tasks by accident while trying to do something else (usually pinching to get back to the list of lists), I give up. It’s too much work to keep putting in recurring tasks over and over again. It’s also not very clear when recurring tasks disappear if you don’t get to them in time. After a period of time that doesn’t seem customizable, they vanish for the current cycle and reappear for the next. The main issue is the gestures, though. Either my iPad just isn’t intuitive enough to tell the difference between different gestures, or I’m not skilled enough at it. Either way, the gesture confusion ruins this app for me. On to the next to-do app. Hoping to find the Holy Grail one day.

Life-changing and uplifting!. I love this app. After reading the reviews, especially from those that have poor memory and/or ADHD (like me), I decided why the heck not - pay for lifetime. Totally worth it. I used it daily, multiple times a day. Like the name fantastically implies, it’s a minimalist... list. It’s very basic in its function, with a straight-forward short tutorial at the beginning (you can revisit it if you don’t remember), and can be used as a widget, too. Not only have I gotten more things done, but even when I lose my memory, I can find great comfort in seeing that what I thought out was written already, conveniently on my smartphone widget. You can see what tasks you’ve done, how frequently, and move around notes as you want prioritized. If you have trouble getting your thoughts organized, get this now!!! This is as basic as it gets, without all the eye-rolling and frustration from what other apps promise as “simple to use”. This is it! And yes, it is 100% worth paying for lifetime.

Love the app but sometimes glitchy. I downloaded Minimalist because Clear failed me horribly after problems with their cloud syncing. I like a lot of things about Minimalist but there are still a few issues with the app including dragging and dropping items into other lists (many of the lists are out of view in the sidebar and not reachable to drop the item into causing the item to be inadvertently dropped into a random list leaving you to go around searching for where it was dropped into). The other issue is the pinch feature to back out of a list. It’s very inconsistent and doesn’t seem to work a lot of the times. I’m left pinching my screen repeatedly trying different distances and pressures to get the app to recognize a “pinch.” Somewhat troublesome when trying to be quick and add a number of things. Other than those minor glitches I do enjoy the app and find it very useful if you are heavy into using lists! Would recommend still!

perfect for shopping lists & reminders. i’ve been using this app for literally almost 5 years! it’s the best because you can put a widget on your home page AND on your the widget page (swipe right on the home screen) which means I see my list when my phone is unlocked and locked. I am always randomly thinking of stuff i need or things i need to do, so it’s hard to remember to stop and take time to write them down or add them to an app, especially if I’m in the middle of doing something. I always have my phone on me or near me, so it’s super convenient. I never forget what I need from the grocery store because I’ve been constantly adding items to my list throughout the week. My point is, it makes life so much easier! just try it - even the free version does the job! idk what i would have to do if this app was ever discontinued!

Helpful app! Great design. The list is condensed nicely so you can see many items at once. Once you learn the hand movements like swiping this way or that.. it’s very enjoyable to use! The tutorials are very helpful and short and sweet as you would expect from a minimal design. I really like the name too. I’m a big fan. I don’t usually pay for apps but this one is worth it. It’s really helping me stay on track with my tasks. I tried a couple other apps that were too big, ugly, and clunky and had distracting ads.. I’ve been accomplishing much more each day by making lists in my phone, and this is the best list/checkmark app I’ve found so far. I’m more likely to see/use my list in my phone than on a piece of paper, sadly. I know this from experience and from really really trying with paper ones. I was surprised that there wasn’t an option to put checkmarks to mark a task completed - instead of strikethrough; since the app icon is a checkmark. Maybe the option is there and I just haven’t found it yet. The hand gesture tips/wizard pop up gradually and seemingly randomly after you get the hang of each thing. And I think there might still be more features than I’ve been shown so far. Anyway, good job to the people that made it, I don’t usually write reviews. I like the desktop icon too 👏🏼👍🏼

So minimalist it’s entirely useless. I’d rate it 0 stars if I could. I paid for the lifetime purchase. 10 min later and it was clear the only thing you get for your money is a blank white screen. They take the minimalist idea to the extreme, that’s all it is, a blank white screen. Period. Once you make a list or add something it disappears and there is no obvious way to ever find it again. There’s no menu, or menu button. The “tutorial” is minimalist also, so if you don’t already know how to use it, the tutorial tells you nothing. There’s a chat! Great, I can ask how to find the list I created. Nope. It opens as a chat but there is no one, and no bots, attached to the chat. It asks how it can help you and then asks for your email. End of. I don’t use email. So since since they don’t provide instructions and all the app is is a blank white screen, it’s entirely useless. I did manage to make a settings icon appear and what it said was that Apple doesn’t let you easily use interactive widgets anymore. I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean other than I got the app because I wanted a To Do list widget, specifically what they advertise. But apparently it can’t do that. I mean, maybe it can but in their minds minimalism means they won’t tell you how. Please process my refund immediately.

Best To Do List Ever. The whole idea behind a todo list is to keep it simple. Other todo lists complicate things by hiding your to dos until the due date and trying to organize them for you. That’s exactly what I don’t want! I’m not looking for ANOTHER organizer. I want my whole list in my face every time I look at it. That’s where this excels. I add an item and it’s right in front of me everyday until I check it off. And it also has the BEST Apple Watch views. I’ve tried to use several other big names and their Apple Watch screens were horrible. Somehow Minimalist shows me everything I need to see and allows me to check it off the list right from my watch! Please just add the possibility of a round complication even if it is only an icon to quick launch the app. I would add it front and center to my primary watch face! The only thing I wish it had was Outlook integration. I would love to flag an email and have it show up as a task. The only drawback to this is its lack of integrations making me have to do double work to populate my list. But as the ONLY to to list that really gives me what I want this is 5 stars hands down.

Super simple and pretty cheap. The app it’s self is so easy to navigate so it’s really quick and doesn’t distract you. The free version is very usable so u don’t have to pay if you don’t want too, but I did just so I could have more than one list and change my font 😌 but anyways I only paid like 4 dollars for a lifetime payment so I’m pretty happy with it. Most apps are complicated and expensive but this one was very simple and ✨free✨ for the most part. 10/10 would recommend to ppl who procrastinate nonstop Update: I finally started using the the timer and the only suggestion I have is to make the focus reminders use a different word other than “man” because I’m not a man and it’s sometimes weird to see that. It’s not a big deal at all because I know huMANity, but why not make it huWOMANity 🤩 or even better huPEOPLEity. It’s really not a big issue tho and I love the app so far :)

Definitely a must have!. As an ADHD single mother to a little girl with not only developmental delays, but whose also disabled, it’s seriously a wonder that I/we weren’t late & didn’t miss any more appointments than we had already prior to my discovering this app! I was literally in this seemingly never ending cycle where I’d write up a list- be it a to do list, grocery list or simply a list of questions I had for an upcoming doctor visit, IEP meeting, etc., but then in true-to-me fashion, I’d forever find myself leaving the list wherever I wrote it at & never having it with me where I actually needed it! My lists & notes, literally had their own lists & notes! 😂 I always shied away from these digital note taking / list making apps, but I’m so glad I come across this app! I love all the many, but not too overwhelming, features that they offer. Some of the best features IMO are the ability to sort lists by their background colors, adding list your Lock Screen (crucial for me!) & the many colors, fonts, etc., but let’s not forget the alerts with their own customizable ringtones should you want to do so! Overall, 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great list app that doesn’t collect all your data. I love this app. Simple after you take a few minutes and learn the gestures… just leave the help icon in place until you know them. Fully functional, transferring items, lists, printing, exporting. All the things I can think of wanting to do are here. I don’t use location or time-based notifications, but they are there too. No spamming to rate the app… made me WANT to rate it. Dev responded quickly when I had a question. And, really important for me, the app doesn’t track me all over my device or collect my personal information! Just take a look at what another popular list app collects and links to you. No thanks! Anyway, totally worth paying for this app… I bought the lifetime subscription once I realized it is just what I was looking for.

Great for minimalists. So I’ve tried countless other organization apps and to do list apps and I’ve got to say MinimaList probably has the least amount of features or chaos going on in the interface and for me this probably is the most redeeming quality about the app. I’ve only been using it for just a short time but I had to run on here and give a review just because of how remarkable it is. As the name suggests, this is an app targeted for minimalists. People who need to make to-do lists and organize their thoughts quickly and with ease. The app is pleasantly simple and easy to use and I love the UI of it as well. The zoom out function to create other lists truly was remarkable! I upgraded to the paid version only after a day of using the free because I wanted “location-based” reminders and tasks. I’m looking forward to a long long time with MinimaList and I’ve got to say, I’m excited to see just how far this app can take me.

Nice simple app for ADHD. I vastly prefer using this app to other more complicated systems I’ve tried before (like Todoist), but I wish there was a system for making nested lists or creating sub tasks. Even just being able to hit tab like a regular bullet list would be a game changer. This one feature would make the app so much more efficient and usable. A couple other small tweaks: I’d love more color palette options. I have ~10 lists and would like to be able to visually differentiate between each of them easier. Maybe a categorization system or sub lists would help with this by cutting down on the total number of lists I use. Also a search feature would be convenient (like swiping down on the main page and search all the lists, similar to how spotlight works on iOS). Overall, great app but the inability to indent bullet lists/create subtasks makes the app cumbersome and difficult to use over time.

Wish I could delete whole sections. Wish I could delete whole lists - like I’ve done it all! Interface a bit confusing at first- couldn’t work out how to say done, so just deleted- now I need to delete my lists!! Would be nice if I could make it pink- or can I- I don’t know Ok, update: figured it out! Made it a lovely pink color! Very happy! BUT... some of the movements are a bit hard (like need 2 fingers), and accidentally do the wrong thing like delete a note when I’m trying to go back to the main page.

MINIMALIST IS GREAT. Minimalist is a great tool for staying on track with your work and getting more organised and efficient. It is better than other to do apps as it is very easy to use. It helps you stay focused and you get an inbuilt timer with motivation just so you don’t give up. My only complaint is I don’t know how to turn on notifications in the settings, but apart from that, it is a great app.

Exploring a Superior App Alternative. I just downloaded this app and am looking forward to using it. It appears to have good reviews and is considered the best available. I frequently use the Notes app on my iPhone, but I want to replace it since it's too basic. This app seems like a much better alternative.

absolutely in love. the simplicity of this app makes it super easy to use, whereas other apps include TOO much causing me to become very overwhelmed. i also really appreciate the widget, the fact that you can switch between your to-do lists and add to them all within the widget is just amazing! the different colours with the premium version is a nice touch too ♡ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

I love. It’s rlly cute and easy to use, I downloaded this at 5am when ‘my pillow wasn’t in the right state to be slept on’ telling myself I would become a more organised person and it’s actually really nice, it’s super rewarding getting to cross off your tasks and perfect for school and studies or if you want to give yourself some wind down time because of the timer addition:)

Works consistently well, never had an issue. happy with my purchase and usage of Minimalist, provides a convenient way to organise my daily errands and the app itself is very easy to use. One suggestion I would like to see is the addition of recurring tasks on a list it would help to organise repeating daily tasks but otherwise a very well-made app.

This is very convenient. This app has helped me so much with organising what i have to do. I’d didn’t buy the pro but even without it everything is amazing. The app is very simple and and i can also set dates for my exams. The subtasks fun in is actually really nice as i have multiple tasks in one and i can lay them out nicely instead of just a scary big list of tasks. I recommend this app to everyone, as it is perfect for all ages and situations.

Great App!. I’m really enjoying this app so many features that I have been looking for - a simple actionable list with reminder including the pomodoro timer with the task name. So great! One thing - I would love to be able to add headings in lists perhaps (in keeping it simple) by just using the colon ":" at the end of a task name - this will make it underline or bold and not an actionable task... This would be a great way to split - long lists into themes, areas or projects... Looking forward to future upgrades!

The perfect list/todo app. So good. Easy. Lightning fast sync across devices. Lovely interface and features. Multiple export options. Manual sync. Any background colour you can think of. Font size options. The works. If you’re still on the fence about leaving your old list app—you know the one: was reliable but now deletes edited entries, syncing is iffy, and that update never came—give yourself a new year’s present. Buy it. Buy it now, while there’s still an Au$10 special running on the lifetime subscription. It’s so good, I bought the mac version within 10 minutes. I know I’m gushing, but I just made my life a whole lot easier. The devs - the devs just made my life easier. And really, who doesn’t want that for 2021?

The wallpaper function is amazing!. Wonderful app, so cleverly designed to help me focus on a few important things in the day. Making use of the wallpaper and forced touch is very creative. I love the multiple lists that allow me to see my calendar and separates my to-do list. Though I haven’t figured out how to manually sort the list.

Exactly what I needed!. Firstly, I’d like to say that while there is a subscription option to access premium features ($1.49 AUD), there is also a one-time payment option ($9.99 AUD). Fantastic! I’m tired of having to pay again and again for apps that really shouldn’t be subscriptions, but that’s another matter. MinimaList is wonderfully simple in both its design and interface. Within moments of booting up the app for the first time I’d already made a few lists, set timers for reminders, and felt I was on my way to being a more organised self. The range of customisation is excellent: change the font and it’s size, background colour, even the icon for the app itself! And of course all the little features that make this app special; a chart to show your productivity across time, syncing with iCloud, calendar, and reminders if you want, the level of options to ensure this app does what you’d like it to. MinimaList is an absolute must have for anyone

Minimalist but definitely not bland or boring. Immediately have ranked this as one of my preferred list apps. I have so many lists for things, and probably have tried an even greater number of "List" apps, however, regardless of this I have found it difficult to ever find one I like enough to stick with it and use consistently. For me, any of the popular, quality apps are either too confusing in their cool features (or too time consuming), or on the other hand, they are too simple, plain and monotonous. I really like how this app manages to be minimalist but allows for an excellent range of very-quick-to-set, customisable features. My favourite feature that I don't find enough in all types of apps (not just "List" apps), is the ability to use installed fonts - Real Fonts and not the tacky ones that come with those alternative Keyboard apps. Finally, not only is this a fully functional list-making app without advertising, the bonus Premium features are grouped simply together in an extremely reasonable and realistically priced IAP - something else that I find hard to find in Productivity Apps. This in turn makes me WANT to upgrade, not just for the extras, but because I want to support the developers who obviously work hard and who have provided a product that is worth paying for; hence it should be paid for.

My search is over. I have a compulsion to write lists. I need them to order my thoughts and keep track of my intentions and many life projects. I have tried lots of todo lists apps over the years. It is an interesting fact of modern life that many of them can charge over 15 dollars a month and lots of people are prepared to pay that. This app has all the features I want. Here is my list of reasons why this app is top of my list of list apps. 1. It is so easy to add new items (Pull down on the screen to add a new item) 2. Reorder list items with simple drag 3. Have multiple lists which can be accessed with a simple pinch. 4. Has more complicated date and location based features too

One issue. I bought this as a fan of minimalist apps with a simple interface. I was disappointed to discover that syncing with Apple reminders only works one way, from Reminders to Minimalist but not the other way. This alas is a deal breaker and one I wished I'd known before purchasing. Contrast this with GoodTask which syncs in both directions immediately. A great pity as I admire Minimaliat's simplicity and otherwise excellent interface.

I love it. No joke, being a Highschool student, I would never really focus, procrastination was my best friend. After using this app for a few days, I could slowly see improvement in my day to day life (using this app for schoolwork btw) and I got more and more things done. I slowly began to have more interest towards studying and would wake up knowing that I have an entire schedule planned ahead of me and I have to finish it. The level of aesthetic in this app is just so amazing, it’s so simple yet so cute. 2021 guys and competition in all areas is just increasing, but more and more students aren’t willing to do their “job” because they’re too afraid they’ll get something wrong or a lack of confidence. Just go for it, stay on track, and accomplish. There is nothing disappointing about this app. I love it.

Perfect app for organizing tasks!. It’s only been a day since i have been using this app but it is absolutely beautiful and a great tool so far got me to write my notes in. ay like other apps, all you have to do is swipe and you can add ur task instead of wasting like 5 mins like every other app. I look forward to using this app more!!

Simple and really good app ( no problems at all ). It’s a very simple app but i still find it useful to help me be more productive and reach my goals in an organised and easy way. To be honest I find this app very good and highly recommend this to people who especially who have trouble being reminded by tasks so the app can just be there to click on and and check if there’s any tasks you need to get finished. ✔️

I love this app :) Possibly my second review but it’s that worth it :). So yeah :) Just as my title says, I love this app :) The main thing I love is how simple and easy it is to use. It has all the functions I could want as a list app, namely being: able to re-order list items, able to customise colour and themes for lists including individual themes for each list, able to change fonts, and useful widgets to see different lists and list items. I actually use this for capturing ideas a lot too, as I can create lists and capture ideas written out as an individual list idea, which is also really useful because I can organise and priorities these ideas by rearranging them on the list. :) So yeah, I love this app, I highly highly recommend it if you are looking for a clean and easy to use list app with a lot of flexibility to be used in other ways too :) I absolutely rate this app 5/5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Minimalist!!! :)))

Simple yet effective!. The app is like a digital to-do notebook. To be honest I’ve never used an app as useful as this. Although I find the default minimalist notification sound a little annoying, as it goes on for a very long time. But overall, it is a really nice and aesthetic app that I recommend people who like being productive to use.

Love it. it’s so simple, and as the name suggests minimalist! I would recommend to get this, it gives reminders with sound tones, and my favourite feature, the “focus” mode. While pressing a task (e.g. homework) you can press start and it’ll tell you to put down your iPhone and get back to work. Over all it’s terrific and you should get it

Clean and simple. Nice and simple app that doesn’t over complicate things, the overlay is especially appealing. It does feel a little lackluster and in my opinion misses a few features that would make it match up to the best apps in its market. Overall would recommend

Less Is More. A simple and effective to-do list app - nothing fancy with too much going on the screen - just neat UI and no wasted noise - this helps meplan out my day and even having the prompt so clearly there on a empty canvas ‘what do I want to do’ or ‘what needs to be done’ are great for getting those ideas down clearly by defining what is important and what is urgent. It also works to help eliminate distractions and in this respect, affords less time wasted and more time to focus on you achieve. I can also appreciate the support team and their customer service which has been pragmatic and effective. Many thanks to the support team for their assistance! Ultimately a great app and while there are some minor things that could be improved on e.g., widget functionality, cloud sharing, restoring purchases when signing in on another device - I thank the support team for their prompt resolution in this regard 🤍. All in all, as it stands it's my preferred app for listing what I need to do in the day and I appreciate the app for what it serves.

Really love! Small tweaks would be appreciated…. I’ve been using this app for about a week now and it’s been really great, it’s really helped me stay on top of my exam schedule and just helped me actually stick to the timetable I make for myself. I did purchase the one off subscription for $10 seeing as it was such a good bang for your buck kinda scenario. There are a few things I’d love for it to have though: - the ability to search for your reminder list through the title of it. It would be great if when you pull away to look at all your reminder cards/list that there was a function to search by name. Especially because I use it for all my subjects and my personal as well. - when I set a custom reminder it doesn’t hold properly. For example, if I say that my custom time I want to be reminded is in 2 days, it will jolt forward to 4 days. This may just be a small bug, but I’d really appreciate having this fixed. - if you could link this with a google account. I share my Apple ID with my family and it would be amazing if it could be connected through either gmail, Facebook or whatever. Other than these small things here, the app has some really nice features especially for high school and university students as well. You can also track your productivity which is useful as well and it’s just a really nice, clean simple interface. I really recommend this app!

Some glitches present. I’ve used the Pomodoro function for the first time and it is very glitchy. The pop up says to shake when finished. I shook the phone hard and got the message to put down my phone and get to work. After several more attempts, the option came up to pause or press Done. I tried pressing it but nothing happened. I then went out and then crossed the item off my list. The timer kept going. I had to go back into the timer and several attempts later, managed to mark it complete. Not really what I’m looking for in an app.

Best to do list creating app. I can never get over how convenient and user friendly this app is. I have been using my this for several years and have tried other apps but this one tops it all. My favourite function is how it is so easy to rearrange tasks and group them so it is easier for me to prioritise them. Loyal user here forever.

It’s just what I really need now. I used a lot of different task apps and finally settled on this one. It’s just what I need - easy to use and easy to see all my tasks and lists. I especially love how you can access it by adding the list as a wedge on my iPhone screen. Highly recommend.

Everything I needed, plus fantastic to use. Downloaded the app recently and the features are great - especially focus mode with the sounds I found to be an interesting addition. Most importantly, tasks are easy to add (something so simple yet seems to be a hassle with other apps I have tried), but this seems perfectly created with a smart phone user in mind. The free version is great for basic use, but the features that come with the paid version is worth it - and I appreciate the one-off pay for full app rather than a subscription. Works fantastic as a widget on the iPhone homescreen. Great design overall, definitely a beautiful app for a minimalist, yet meeting every unspoken need. Thought I'd write a review to express gratitude to the creators - cheers!

Brilliant! Except for one tiny thing.. I absolutely love this app! I’ve been using it for a while and it’s everything I wanted in a list app. The only thing I don’t like is that when you click on a list item to edit something, it takes you to a pomodoro timer… you have to swipe left and then click on the edit button. I feel like people are more likely to want to edit an item than use the pomodoro time, so it seem counterintuitive. Other than that, I love it!

Beautiful, intuitive, HOWEVER. Please fix the bug with creating lists!!!! I’m trying to create 1 for each day of the week and it disappears right after I create it. It’s an amazing app, very intuitive! BUT I payed for the pro version and I see I can only make few cards/lists. Why is that? If it’s the PRO version, I’m supposed to do as many as I want! I need the app for that reason, if I can only create few lists and the rest is deleted it’s all worthless. Amazing experience, but please fix this bug! :(

Perfect.. There was an issue where the new widget didn’t have check boxes, but when I updated to iPadOS 14.1 the tick boxes reappeared, so it was probably an issue from Apple. If I could suggest one tiny improvement, I think sometimes it’s sometimes a little tricky to access the options and edit reminders. Might be just me, though! Thank you for such a great product.

Exactly as it says.... It’s for sure a minimalist design. I don’t think a design could be more minimalist. And I love it! It screams productivity, with it’s impossibility to distract you with it’s design, and it’s easy to use system you can’t go wrong. The pomodoro feature is also a fantastic addition to this seemingly simple to do list. Highly recommend. Loses a star because of the paid upgrade... I don’t like things that have a premium version in which you have to pay. Especially since a premium version of this app is unnecessary, the basic free version works perfectly!

So it’s great but. Yeah this is a great app and I will continue to use it. But their is one kinda issue. To change the colours and font size you need a premium subscription (understandably) but the issue is that I’m actually vision impaired and would love to use this app. But the writing is just way too small for me to read without paying... so if you could change that. It would be amazing..

Wish there was a free trial of premium. I know that the one time payment option of $9.99 is fantastic value and worth it just to try, but as a student my budget is minimal... and as someone with ADHD, beginning work on making changes to my lifestyle, I am at the point where I am wanting to trial several different apps before making a commitment to one. While this looks like it would be perfect with the premium features, I’m not in a position to pay $10, only to find out that maybe it’s not really the app for me and have to seek out a refund and wait for that to come through before I can then put my finds toward trialling another app. Even just a 24 hour free trial would be great — just to get a quick idea of what the premium features are like and how they app works with them. It really does seem like a great app that I would love to get the premium features for, but may just have to wait until I’m in a position I can justify it. Will change my rating and review after I’ve had a chance to see what it’s like with premium.

Amazing. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for for ages. Simple but not tacky. Enough customisation to suit your style - but not so much as to overwhelm you. Simple gestures and the accessibility through the today screen (left of your home screen) is absolutely amazing - you can edit things there too! Already told friends about it. One off cost is great as well (subscriptions end up draining more money so this was a lovely surprise). 11/10 would recommend

Love the simplicity and fireplace sounds 💜💞. As a student studying for ATAR, I find this app extremely useful for me to keep things in check and help me break up my study sessions. I absolutely love the 20min and 50min intervals in which the app sets to help you focus on the task at hand, and with the fireplace sounds—it’s so calming. If they would add more sounds, like the fireplace one, and more timing options, I would invest my money into this app. Still loving it so far 📕💖

Simple and effective.. I tried a few before landing on this gold nugget. I have made the purchase and love it. The different widget’s are a straight forward reminder and after a while I started to get a little hit of endorphins every time I’d add a task and every time I’d complete a task. Within weeks it has become habitual and improved my focus and retention. The simplicity of using this app is what makes it so effect for me. Thank you.

Love this app! (๑>◡<๑) ♡. This is the first time I’ve ever written a review before. I was recommended this app, and I can say for certain that I do not regret installing it. Minimalist is by far one of the best apps when it comes to making To-do lists, reminders, for shopping or any sort of list you want to create! Not to mention - as the name states - it’s very minimalistic and easy to use! I personally don’t like spending money on apps, however I definitely thought that it was worth spending $9.99 for Lifetime Premium. Absolutely worth it. You can customise and organise your lists however you want, in addition to other features. For those who are contemplating on this app, I highly recommend this to you. You will not regret getting this app. If you’re still unsure, download it first. After using it, once you can then decide whether you still want to use it or not.

Fantastic app but just one thing!. It would be great if it has Pomodoro inside the timer. (Focus Keeper: 25 minutes study and 5 minutes break) then change it automatically. Which can be added as an option when you set the timer for the projects. Someone please add this function to it!

favourite to do list app !!. i love love love the minimalistic and simple user interface and desgin of the app. it gets the job done, i cant look back through the things i have to do so easily and efficiently !! highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple to do list app as this app also comes with many amazing features :) dont think i will ever use any other to-do list app after using this !! keep up the amazing work to the developers :D

Simple, free of clutter, worth it for ADHAers. I have been searching for an app to help organise my days and I keep going around in circles. The reason I like this one is it just keeps it simple by not trying to be more than just a Notepad that you carry around on your phone. Worth it as a free app but it’s also one of the most affordable “small donation” to access premium features (eg multiple notes and syncing across devices). No sneaky subscription options which I hate. Instead, this app developer keeps it honest and open 🩷🩷🩷

Eat alternative to pen and paper, but there is one big feature missing for me. With my current to-do list setup, pen and paper works super well for me. But having to carry aprons those things is a bit of a hassle, and I’d rather just carry my phone and do it on that. Minimalist is definitely the best alternative to a pen and paper of a simple, clean digital to-do list and I highly recommend it. However it is missing one big feature for me. With my pen and paper setup I use checkboxes next to items, an idea I got from Adam Savage’s book. This allows me to instantly see what stage a task is in by filling in fractions/half of the checkbox to show that it’s started, half finished or completed. It also gives the satisfaction of crossing off a task without drawing a line through the words and obscuring them - which admittedly is not an issue in digital formats. I would love Minimalist to add this feature, as right now simply crossing off items is not a suitable replacement for my pen and paper setup, and the best option is for me to use apps with kanban board features which is not as good. I also can’t find any apps at all with a feature like the one I described, so this could be a really good feather in Minimalist’s cap. Thanks for taking the time to read this, love the app overall.

Please enable widget customisation. I purchased the lifetime premium for the sole purpose of being able to customise the font and background of the widget. I was really disappointed to find that regardless of custom settings, the widget does not sync and still displays the default settings. I really hope that this will be fixed in a future update, because I otherwise really enjoy the app.

10/10 want it on all my devices. Very handy once you are familiar with the different action like swiping etc. The interface design is a minimalist’s dream, just wish in Premium you could pick any background colour the same way you can pick any font colour. NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: please please make a desktop and tablet version that sync with the phone app so you can edit lists on any device.

Almost perfect. This app has amazing potential, definitely worth checking out. I couldn’t get it working for me though, which I’m sad about. (When you mark a task as a daily task, and tick it off on day 1, the next day it’s still marked off as complete. As opposed to reappearing ready for the next day, so maybe daily tasks are not what I expected them to be, or maybe they reset for the next day at a weird time of the day??)

Cool!. It’s useful and easy to use! Love the ability to customise everything. A few notes: – [Glitch/Bug/UI consideration] When changing the background and theme to both black, all UI+Fonts go black, and you can’t navigate back...visually you just see a black screen...I had to randomly guess where I was tapping to change it back. - [Feature] Title on the lists when your in the list would be helpful...I have to keep pinching to see which list I’m in! - [Suggestion] I think tapping once on the task should bring up EDIT not focus mode...2 taps should bring up focus mode...I guarantee you more users will be editing than going into focus mode, so one tap would make it much it easier and faster.

A great help, just wish is was more friendly. This is a great app for writing lists to keep track of things, though I wish there was a bit more customisation to make it more friendly to some users. Personally having a white background makes my eyes burn and the text can be too small sometimes. Of course, I’m not saying make all the themes and customisation free, just maybe have a few options that anyone can access wether they’ve paid for it or not. Just being able to choose between maybe 4 backgrounds (white, light gray, mid gray and dark gray/black) and being able to change the size of the text would be a great help for many of the users but still allow the app to make money! :D

This app is everything I was looking for, except.... The option to add sub-tasks/notes within a task. I know it sort of defeats the point of the app being a ‘minimalist’ to-do list, but as someone who is used to dividing each task into smaller steps, I think it will be an ideal way to boost productivity even more. Other than that, this app is literally everything I wanted combined into one - simple design, intuitive controls, multiple lists, a pomodoro timer and productivity tracker. Great job!

seems like a great app, although... i downloaded this app, and it seems like a awesome app. i’ve only used it for a day, and have already fell in love with it. it helps me see my notes better, and get things done. i’m just a bit concerned as i have bought the premium option on my ipad, just for the sync option. but i have no idea how to use it with my phone? will i have to buy premium twice now? and also i could not find ANY help pages about your app, apart from when you first download it and how to use it. please let me know if i will have to buy it twice, i will be disappointed if i will

Love this app. It’s great.. I love using this app. I have been using it for ages and have been completely satisfied with it. I use it for things to do and things to remember to buy. And then today I tapped on the tutorial button ... and oh my gosh!!! It does so many more amazing things than I realised that it did. You guys have done so well on this app. Thank you so much.

Love it. This app is great!! It works perfectly in every way and is very easy to use. The only thing I would say is that when you minimize a list to look at your other lists, sometimes it thinks you’re just trying to tick items off instead of “pinch” it often takes me a few goes to minimize and have to undo items that have been accidentallly ticked off. Other than that I love this app and am have been using it to organize my life everyday! Love love love it.

👎. Had It for under five minutes can’t do much if you don’t pay and I didn’t really understand it well😕

I don’t like it. What it doesn’t let you do anything if you don’t pay like when you open it you can’t do anything but pay

Super well designed app. I’ve been looking for a list app for a while, and this is hands-down the best I’ve found. The interface is amazing, the haptic control is really good, and if you snag it around Christmas, you get a discount. Definitely recommend it

Great App. This app is so great to have. It helps me to stay organized as a student

Great but…. Great app for it’s interface, easy to use and I love how they explained how to get an interactive widget. Although, WAY too many things need the paid version. If you only use the app for a few quick notes it’s good, but if you want to make clean separated sections, colours, etc, so you don’t have your to-do list mixed up together ( groceries, clean house, school stuff, work) then this app isn’t the best. I’ll probably search for another app.

MinimaList (Review). This app is helpful in many ways and it keeps my time and consistency in order. It really helps me a lot in most of my daily activities to remember. Especially during the school year. Thank you!

i never review apps... but this one is awesome a way better iphone notes app with more features and i love the widget feature!!! 10/10 would (and have) recommend

THE BEST APP. NO JOKE THE BEST!!! Also premium is not that expensive and they offer no subscription plans (one time) it’s the best!

Recent user. Great app. Really helps my adhd 😌

Simple app that serves its purpose. No unnecessary features making extra clutter but a neat app that helps you get organised.

Amazing!. This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for. So many good features that help keep me so organized. Recommending it to all of my friends!

I love this app!. This app is amazing and exactly what I was looking for! It’s so much easier to use then the notes app for check lists and it’s super aesthetic and it’s free I was amazed when I found this app!

Clean and simple. I use this app to manage my high priority tasks and I love it. The interface is clean and simple.

Great for combating adhd forgetfulness. This app has improved my productivity and made my life easier and more productive

AHHHHHH!!!. MinimaList is actually the greatest app ever. I’ve been looking all over the appstore for a list making app that’s nice to look at and also convenient. And out of everything I’ve tried, this is definitely my favorite app. It not only looks great, but also effortless to use and easy to manage. AHHHH!!!

amazing. just amazing

Wow. For someone that needs simple tasks daily and weeks out this is better than a calendar app or great paired with for immediate daily or monthly reminders. Recommend

Love this app!. This app is so awesome. I haven’t had it long, but so far it is making me so much more productive. The app is simple but elegant. So useful. I would recommend that everyone uses this app!

Love App. I love this app! Simply to use but effective. Only issue I’ve been running into is that it glitches out often where I can’t type new takes or swipe to eliminate a task! Would love to see that fixed so I can keep using! Other than that it’s flawless 👍

Amazing. Great app, very easy to use.

My review. It’s helpful it helps me keep on track w my studies 8/10 recommend if ur looking for something aesthetic this is not it unless u want to pay but it’s still a good a choice if that doesn’t matter to u but to me it does just a tiny bit but still use it everyday :)

As advertised. Simple and practical just like it should be

Love it. It is so simple and to the point. User friendly interface. Love the idea. Works great for me. Guys make an weekly organizer like this !!

Great app, great widget. Love using this app and it adds a clean look to my phone while allowing me to stay accountable for my tasks

Easy and quick. I have adhd and this is the best app I found, it’s super simple and thus I can do what I need very quickly. The reminders are also a life saver!

Love it so much. Honestly this is the best app for school. There’s a timer with different settings and it’s great, it’s simple so it’s not distracting. My whole family loves it.!

Luv it. I luv this app so much it helps me stay on task (I have adhd) and get reminders easy peesy

Premium required for dark theme, instant uninstall. Forcing someone to pay for dark theme is a great way to make them never use your app ever again

Great App. Loved the minimalist experience of this app!

Absolutely love it. they’re so flexible and understanding and the app configuration is amazing

Amazing app. The app is free, has no ads and allows you to have simplistic widgets. LOVE THE MINIMALISTIC DESIGN!!

Amazing & Simple. Very minimalist!! Love it

amazing. amazing

Guess Work. I downloaded the free version which just asks you to name a task and then you can name another task but there’s no instructions on how to access them or how to use the app (besides swipe to the side when done). I downloaded because other reviews stated the free version is amazing, but ACTUALLY you can colour code anything or use ANY function besides listing a task unless you pay. Granted it’s not super expensive, but still misleading. If I wanted to just list task after task with no categorizing I may as well just use my notes feature that comes for free on my phone.

Obnoxious in app purchases. Obnoxious in app purchases from an app with non-intuitive design. Bleh don’t get it

Didn’t like it. Deleted it within the first 5 mins. Couldn’t do much outside of the paid version. Wasn’t easily manoeuvrable. Every time I tried to save something it wouldn’t let me without paying so I got frustrated and deleted it.

Amazing. This app is PERFECT! Has amazing features and I so easy to use. Definitely recommend for everyone

Love it!. This app has made my scatter brain- less scattered it provides me an effortless way to organize my to do lists and execute with ease

Super good!. Super easy to use!! Love it

Best to do list organizer. Great simple and nothing fancy perfect for everyday use

Great App. Simple and easy to use interface, easy to keep track of things. Only con is the fact that quite a few things are not available in the free version, I would like more colours and tools for free.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This app is one of the best made to do list apps I have ever seen, their colour coding, location placement and multiple to do lists make this app so incredibly handy!! I have struggled to find a organization app in the past but now I don’t have to worry anymore.

Amazing planning app. Easy to use, cute colours and fonts! Love this app

Great daily task list maker. I’ve been using this app for managing daily tasks and added the widgets on home screen to easily check off the completed. Sharp interface design and I really appreciate the developer’s effort to keep things minimal but sufficient and effective. The free version would satisfy the need for a simple daily task list, and the paid version would support all you need for a task tracker with a competitive price to pay for once.

Almost perfect. Love the mimimalist, straight to the point UX & UI. However, if this app was able to sync with Mac, iPad, and WatchOS versions, it’d be perfect. The fact it can’t sync on all devices may be a reason I might stop using it. Pls let me know if a syncing feature is in the works!

Amazing but... I love this app! But making people pay for just a simple colour or allowing more space? No thanks

Main selling-point is locked behind a paywall. The selling point of this app (being able to have multiple lists and seeing them in card form) is locked behind a paywall. Very disappointed. I’ll find a free app with this feature. Besides that, the controls feel very clunky.

Amazing app.. These guys know what they are doing with this app. Very simple and easy to keep track of your day to day and upcoming events. This app changed my life.

Love. This app has helped improve my life drastically ! I am an avid list maker but struggle with remembering to bring my list anywhere lol this app is set up way better than the notes app that comes with the iPhone.

So simple, easy to use, I recommend. So simple, easy to use, I recommend

Couldn’t wait to write this review!. I have never been so excited to write a review ever! I’m in love with this app. Like you are my spirit animal in an app kinda love. Within 5 min of using it, I paid for the premium version. It’s your bare bones, basic to-do list app. Beautifully presented; able to customize colors and fonts (even font weights). Simple gestures to mark done, delete, or reorder. The premium is worth it since I want to have multiple lists - groceries, travel, books to read, etc. I also like being able to schedule my tasks to notify me at time or location, and the focus timer (hello, ADD people!). Well done guys. I actually can’t think of anything to make this better. Maybe more font options.

My new favorite app! Love everything about it.. I used to buy planners or use online websites for tracking what I want to do. I’d always give up and never maintain an actual routine. This app has helped me with its reminders that are already scheduled for me so I don’t need to re-write every little task. I’ve become so much more organized, and personally, I think this app has helped kickstart a new and healthier me. This whole thing sounds cheesy, but I absolutely recommend this to anyone else who has struggled to keep organized and ended up ditching all their old planners. I never needed anything fancy, and everything else either had too little to offer or was too confusing to use. Thanks, app developers! :)

I don’t usually do reviews but... I love this app!! i’m a very simple person when it comes to apps, so having the complicated ones, like Notion or others, was never a good fit for me. i often just used my notes app but was always annoyed at how i couldn’t cross things off and have them go away and it was just a little TOO simple. i really like this app and the features it has becuase it’s easy to use, i can set reminders, make multiple lists, cross things off, etc. I will say i like it a lot more after i got the special features so i could change the colors and fonts and things. that makes me more motivated to do my stuff. even then, not bad for $6 forever!

Love it but.... I’ve used this app for a while and I love it. Very straight to the point app, the way I like it! However, I’m trying to now use it on the Apple Watch and on the “complication” for this app it says “no tasks today” when I still have tasks. Yet, when I click the app, it shows the tasks. Is there a way to fix this? I would appreciate if the complication would tell me how many tasks I have on the complication, as there is no point in having the complication on my watch Home Screen if it always says there are no tasks to be completed. I would really appreciate a response to this, as I don’t want to change apps just for this, but this is important to me. Thank you!

Awesome, but has an annoying bug. I have been using this app for around a year now, and I absolutely adore it! Its design is simple and it’s very easy to use and navigate. I use it daily for everyday tasks and managing my work. There is one problem, though. Sometimes, when I make a list and have a lot of items on it, the app plays with the order of the items. I despise that. I could have put Task 1 before Task 2, and then, all of a sudden, as I move around my other tasks and order them, I find that the app has moved Task 2 and put it before Task 1. I go back and fix it, and then all of a sudden Task 3 is now before both Task 1 and 2. There is just no way for me to solve this except to delete and reenter Task 1-3. Please fix this soon! It’s a shame for such a good app to go to waste!

it was great.... until. i loved it so much and was logging my every day activities to keep track of my patterns and to plan my days better when i realized i couldn’t even do a whole month bc there’s a limit... that is not stated anywhere and honestly i wouldn’t have bought the app if i knew it wasn’t endless entries like the free notes apps our phones come with. I’m honestly really disappointed in this and it really messed up my whole flow. please fix it, i really enjoy the rest of the app, the limit is just too big a detail for me to go over 3 stars generally. if you fix this by allowing endless amounts of individual entries plz let me know and i’ll start using your app again because otherwise it’s really convenient and easy to use and great for trying to organize your life more efficiently! 5 stars in that regard

Best list app out there. I have been using MinimaList for about a year now, and I’m pretty happy with it. It's easy to read and keep track of anything you need to. I love that you can reorder the tasks, customize the colors and more, move items to different lists, etc. There is a lot of efficiency in this app and it has so much to offer. I don't use the timers, but if you have assignments or want to get a task done within a certain amount of time this app works great for that. I think the subscription for MinimaList is beyond worth it. Some things I would like to maybe see in future updates would be that you're able to type the date or time with the task or item and it would register the time instead of clicking on the designated button to input the date/time. I also wish that switching over to a new list by zooming out was easier to do. I have to try a few times every time. But I think I'll just try to get used to scrolling the edge to go to the other lists. I would very much recommend this app and I appreciate the creators for such a job well done.

great helpful app for school, work, and day to day tasks. I use this app for all my schoolwork, work and chores. The timing feature is so helpful for someone who struggles with time management and the ability to cross off tasks is so easy and straightforward its actually so helpful to not be overwhelmed looking at all your tasks. I also love the ability to add a widget to your home screen it really helps keep track opf everything in one place. I’d certainly reccomend this app over other competitiors like notability because it is so much more simple and has a much cleaner look; keeping all your to dos organized. 10/10 reccomend.

Amazinggg. I am the kind of person that tends to over complicate anything, especially when I have to get things done. When I use a regular planner I look at my list of things I need to do & I immediately begin to feel overwhelmed & even anxious. With that in mind, after using this app, I can definitely say that although all my tasks are listed, the design of it personally makes it very simple to complete. I don’t find myself becoming anxious but rather just motivated to strike through all the the tasks I’m done with in the app. This is also extremely helpful for me because I’m a student & I can become forgetful of my assignments. I definitely recommend this app for anyone!!

Great on the phone but sync issues with watch/laptop. The app works great on the phone but has issues with syncing from the watch and the desktop version. Adding stuff on the desktop app shows up on the phone/watch quickly but checking off items on the watch don’t sync back to desktop. If you uncheck/recheck the item on the phone it will update to the desktop. Also marking a complete item as incomplete on desktop will sync back to the phone but not to the watch, so you can end up with two versions of your to do list and you have to toggle stuff on your phone to get it all to match up. If sync worked properly this would be 5 stars. Well maybe 4, it’s unfortunate that the watch doesn’t support any of the timer functions the phone and desktop apps do.

Love it!!!!. Minimalist is a great app for anyone who wants to keep track of their to-do list in a simple and elegant way. You can create different lists for different purposes, and assign different colors to them. You can also set reminders for your tasks, and get notified when they are due. The app has a clean and intuitive interface, with fluid gestures and minimal distractions. You can easily swipe to complete or delete a task, or tap to edit it. The app also syncs with your calendar, so you can see your events and tasks in one place. Minimalist is a perfect app for anyone who values simplicity and productivity. I highly recommend it!

Finally .. a list I love. I have tried several “list” apps. I just wanted something basic, very easy. I like it! Now I like it even more! I use a few lists. I have a ‘to do’, ‘grocery’, etc… If you have an IPHONE, whoop. I made a WIDGET. There are two big advantages. First the list I want is showing on the screen. Second, the widget at the bottom names the lists I have (To Do, Grocery,etc) so I just touch the list I want and poof! - it switches. Without a poof sound effect. :) So its soooo easy to switch lists. And I can drag the WIDGET where I want it. (In the event I don’t want it on my opening screen for instance.) Don’t know how to widget? It’s easy, just do a net search.

THEEE GOAT FOR SCHOOL. As somebody who does everything related to school, i cannot even begin to explain how minimalist has helped me focus on not only my work, but my life. I juggle both High-school classes and College Classes along with sports and clubs. As someone with really bad adhd, minimalist can help me organize my life in a non-distracting way. Apps like Notion and Obsidian make me want to sit and decorate the list when i'm really just procrastinating to NOT GET MY TASKS DONE. With Minimalist, the design of the list is appealing as is, which makes me want to use it, along with the reminders! Other apps don't give you reminders like this one does! it even has location reminders which is super innovative! Saved the best for last here, the feeling of joy when you shake your phone to clear your completed tasks??? it's like a reward. *chefs kiss*

super cute and convenient. i really like the simple layout and the customization options. the basic version is still pretty good, but i wanted to have the added features so i paid a couple dollars for premium. the widget makes it even more convenient. ALSO i loooove the pomodoro timer! the little notification that pops up when you pick up your phone is cute and works for some reason lol. uh the only thing i don’t care for is that i need to get premium on all devices to sync. but it’s a couple dollars...but i still only paid for it on my phone. definitely recommend if you like to have a planned out to do list for school.

Simple and effective!. I am thoroughly impressed with this app's simplicity and intuitive design. It offers all the essential features one needs to effectively manage their tasks, including location and time reminders. Unlike other to-do list apps that tend to be excessively complex and overwhelming, this app strikes the perfect balance by focusing on the core functionalities that truly matter. It keeps me organized and on track without bombarding me with unnecessary features. I appreciate how it prioritizes simplicity and delivers all the necessary tools for efficient task management. Overall, I find this app to be a concise and powerful solution that caters to my needs perfectly.

Great minimal list. I’ve always wanted a fast way to write down one line ideas about everything from projects, to work, to art, whatever. This is it! I love this app and even bought it to contribute a little to the devs. There is definitely more to be improved and I can’t wait for it. But as it stands the app is fantastic for my work. I’d say a very minimal lock screen widget that only serves as a button to create a todo item is needed here. I know other widgets take you to the app too but I want a small widget that is just a stylish button. Overall, I’m really happy I found this, I was contemplating building an app haha but this is definitely exactly what I needed

Very solid. I’ve been using iPhones “notes” for tasks for a very long time. This got old and I wanted a more live and interactive plus simple way to have and keep track of my ongoing tasks. I feel minimaList delivers on that. It’s nice to just swipe and show completed tasks. It also keeps track of productivity, which is just a fun feature to look back on. I still use iPhone notes for like long term info that I want to look back on, ideas/concepts and other things. But boy was I using a stone tool for tasks before this. I even think (for me anyway) that this is far superior to Siri reminders. I do wish using Siri with minimaList there was some sort of easier explanation video tho. Thanks minimalist! Good work! I hope you always keep this app simple!

You NEED this App!. Okay, I never ever write reviews about something unless it is truly life-changing for me. I have religiously used this app for over 2 years and I am finally getting around to giving an honest review. The verdict: this app is a necessity! This has 10x’d my productivity and I now can’t imagine my life without it. Easy, straightforward and exactly what you need to keep track of everything from your grocery list to managing and keeping track of every area in your life. This is my #1 used app and I really can’t imagine my life without it. I would be a scattered mess! Thank you for creating such a simple tool to maximize my productivity.

Aesthetic & Easy to use. This app is everything a to-do list can ask to be: simple, effective, and aesthetically pleasing. It is perfect for quickly jotting down tasks as you think of them. The sleek font and design of the interface gives it a very productive and organized tone. But most of all, unless most productivity apps, MinimaList eliminates the hassle of swiping between different functions, selecting a different color tab for each task, being taken to a new page to put in deadlines every time you create a task etc. etc. Productivity apps stans, you know what I’m talking about. MinimaList is a great success, and would really really love if you could come out with a planner/calendar app of the same sleek fashion. Perhaps somewhat similar to Moleskine’s timepage?

20/10 stars LOVE THIS APP. im not normal one to write a review for an app but since i’ve downloaded this app i have seen such a positive impact on my life as a whole that i have to say something. i have terrible ADHD caused executive dysfunction and this app’s organizational system as well as easy to use location based reminders have changed the way i live my life. additionally now that i am able to be a full functioning human my mental health has improved and my overall outlook on life has become more positive. i never expected this to work so well but i honestly owe my happiness to the developers of this app. Thank you dev team for making this app and changing my life as a result!

Amazing. Best to-do/reminder app so far. This product is absolutely amazing. I was a bit hesitant to get it, since I noticed the premium option. I tend to never get apps with premium plans offered because usually the free-to-use versions are terrible, unusable and boring. But I don’t regret getting MinimaList at all. It’s so easy to use and even if you are not paying for the premium features, it’s still so useful and great. I love minimalism and I’ve been looking for ways to keep myself organized and away from stress. The Apple reminder app is ugly and bulky for me so I never really used reminders/lists... until MinimaList. The icon easily fits with any theme you have with your phone, you get the full widget for Siri, and it’s so simple to use. You pull down, write the task and maybe include a date, and you’re set to go. My only complaint as of now is to fix the widget bug. You can’t scroll down so if you have quite a few tasks, you can only see the top two or so. Other than that, thank the staff of MinimaList soo much for putting this together! It’s absolutely saved my schoolwork.♡

A Simple Job Well Done. I purchased this app (Pro version, at half price) because the admirably designed Clear has disappeared and the high-powered multi-featured OmniFocus is unwieldy for simple list-keeping. The interface was mildly confusing at first, but as soon as I understood it, the app became an indispensable tool. I’ve suppressed features I don’t like or don’t use (like the task timers and the accompanying nudges to get focused) and taken advantage of features that do serve my purposes (in particular, the creation of Siri shortcuts for voice access). This app has been well thought out. I’m using it. I hope it doesn’t disappear the way Clear did. One limitation: The app syncs with my iPad, but it has no presence in MacOS. I can’t get to my lists from my computers. Is that expansion being considered?

Must Have TO DO App!!!!. To start, it’s super straightforward. The app really fits the name. I had the free version, which lets you have 1 list and that worked for me for a bit, but I ended up needing different sets of lists for different things. So I got the lifetime membership for $3.99 on a 40% off day. TOTALLY WORTH IT! The app really gives a lot of control of the list and is incredibly easy to manage and is quick to use. I couldn’t recommend this app enough. Any other reviews complaining that the free version isn’t enough or the app is too difficult to use either is cheap and want the app completely for free (which is pretty selfish) or has never used an app before because this is one of the most straightforward apps I’ve seen. 11/10, great job developers.

Best reminders widget. I really love how easy it was to match the widget to my home screen. Unfortunately, the tasks leave the widget and it displays “No tasks today” as soon as the task time has been reached, even if they were not completed. Could they not stick around until the end of the day at least if not marked complete? I nearly forgot to clean my kitties’ litter box bc of this confusing setting... Also, the focus timer is great but I would love if I could open the timer w/o having it specific to a certain task; for example, I don’t make a reminder for all of my work tasks, but I’d love to just set an 30 min timer for focusing on my job, for example... Otherwise, great app! Love the clean design and customizability. Thanks!

Simple& Straight to the Point!. Lots of other reminder apps have such weird set ups that can make it difficult to genuinely just set up a simple to do list or even get rid of a reminder you completed months ago. However, Minimalist is easy to set up, easy to check off lists, lets you create multiple lists, and easy to erase them! I tend to use a lot of to-do lists in my day to day just to declutter my mind and reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed by so much to do, but I’d usually write them down. Sometimes I don’t have access to paper, so having a simple disposable list on my phone is VERY helpful. Not to mention the awesome option to remind you of a specific to-do and even customize the ringtone of it, which I absolutely love!

I keep coming back.. Occasionally, I’ll try something new when I get the hankering to clean my phone and reorganize. I’ll seriously go through about 10-15 apps during the course of a couple of weeks and nothing matches Minimalist. It’s perfect in every way. Imagine having a scratchpad everywhere you go. And then, imagine if that scratchpad could remind you of your to-dos, allow you to create subfolders and be accessible on your Apple Watch or iPad. It’s just a simple, amazing app. I find myself in conversations daily as a corporate communicator, and this app is handy when I suddenly have 3-5 tasks I need to add. I couple this app with my Outlook calendar, and I’m pretty much solid.

So close to perfect. It has great bones as a simple and effective to-do list app. WHY DO WE HAVE TO GIVE A TIME JUST TO SET A FUTURE DATE. I am trying to plan a task ahead for work by setting the todo item for Monday, but it doesn’t need any specific time on Monday. However the app will force you to pick a time and when the time comes and goes it will appear in red so you know it’s overdue….even though it’s not overdue you just can’t set it to all day. Widgets are so broken it’s comical. The transparency feature does not work in the slightest. The instructions literally don’t come with any instruction, just vague screenshots. Trying to figure out how to make the widgets transparent using in app instructions just left me with a situation where a screenshot was my background and there was no way to undo that. Deleted the whole app to fix it which is ridiculous.

Some suggestions for improvement. I love how it looks. I love how I can drag down to add, swipe to cross out and shake to delete. But it’s the pinching function that I’m not too happy with. For too many times my pinching is registered as a swipe/drag, and then either a new entry is created, or I need to go down and un-swipe the item that accidentally got crossed out. It has become a little frustrating. I would really like to see a button that I can press to switch between list. If that option does not look simplistic enough, then perhaps double tapping home button to switch between lists (I don’t know if that’s a viable option since I do not develop apps). Other than the pinching issue, a great app to have!

simply genius. -clean layout -simple organization -no distractions (like ads, ads for the premium version, useless settings, etc) -easy adding/taking away/editing tasks As a high school student with a lot on my plate, it’s hard to remember everything I need to get done in a daily basis. I’m always worrying about my bigger goals and tend to lose track of the daily chores and errands I need to do, but this app definitely helps. I use it to write my daily to-do list and set up my goals for the day, and it has helped tremendously. Like I said, it’s simply genius. Theres basically no distractions within the app; no ads, no constant pop-ups to buy the premium version, and no useless and distracting settings. Definitely recommend to pretty much everyone. I can’t think of anyone this app couldn’t serve! <3 also a side note- this app is so good that i actually payed for the premium version. $6 for an app is something i never thought i’d spend but yk what here we are. this app is just that good in my opinion. try it out for yourself!

Help with widgets!?. I don’t have a bad thing to say about this app! I love this look, the ability to customize, the simplicity of it. I found out about it because I use your habit app. Anyways everything is great but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get an interactive widget?? On an iPhone 12 fully updated & I have the premium version of the app. When I add the widget to my Home Screen, tap and hold to press edit the only options are to choose which list shows & the “vertical, middle, top” thing. Please help! The explanation on the app is pretty confusing and I haven’t been able to figure it out, I’d love to be able to use that feature.

Was great but completely imploded. Before the update—five stars. Worked great and didn’t have to think about it. After the update? I think I’m gonna find something new. It has an infuriating glitch where the color of the text is identical to the background color (and it also automatically turned on dark mode too, which is irritating on its own). As everything was showing up black on my lists, I tried to turn the text to white, but that made the entire menu turn invisible as the background was also white to start with. Why would the color changes effect the menu too? I downloaded the update that said it would fix this, but of my three lists, only one was readable. After going back and forth between my lists, the functional one broke again. I’m looking for a more reliable app

Frustrating. I have tried to use this app over and over thinking it must just be me. I get it you want a minimalist appearance but I’m lost about where I am. In my effort to explore around I lose information. It’s like only the cool people can use this app because they know the secret language. And in my pursuit to find my way I keep landing on the countdown timer which I never use. Ironically all this searching for the secret language of how to use this app make it non minimalist to use. I shouldn’t spend 20 minutes remembering how to use the app to do a two minute task. Give us some buttons to see. Maybe the ability to turn them off for the people who don’t want to see them. Put that timer on a button so you can turn it off. It is useless and in the way. I run a business and can’t keep loosing things on my list in the name of aesthetics. The ability to change the font size and color would be a plus. You could add multiple numbers to your business if this app jus wasn’t to exhausting to use.

The Best To Do List I’ve Ever Used. For the longest time, I used paper to do lists to keep track of everything I had to do. I realized that these pads of paper were pretty expensive and I went through them very quickly. I decided to try online to do lists using apps or websites. I’ve tried literally all of the to do lists apps in the Apple App Store and a good number of websites and this app is the BEST one. It is simple and gets everything you want done. If you are using the app and are upset that not all of the features you should DEFINITELY get the premium version. It is SO worth your money and allows you to do everting you want. If you are looking for the best to do list app, THIS IS THE ONE!!!

I get it’s “minimalist” but just not special. TL;DR: list wallpaper function is not as advanced as I hoped. Ultimately not really worth replacing the standard Reminders app IMO. I’m looking for an alternative to the List that comes with my phone so I gave this app a try. What really drew me to this one out of all the rest was the promised list wallpaper function - it’d be cool to have a live list on the wallpaper and be able to intuitively check in real time. Unfortunately this only comes with the premium, which was a steal so I thought why the heck not. But after trying it out I realized it’s NOT real time, and the list wallpaper is saved as a PICTURE, which you then put on your wallpaper. It WORKS, but it also means it doesn’t reflect changes to the list in real-time, and you’d have to consistently update your wallpaper. Sooo what’s the point?

Great app but….. I absolutely love this app, I use it as my only reminders app and it has helped me keep up with things and take quick notes easily, my only issue is switching between lists is difficult for me on my Iphone 13, you have to press and hold a blank area to switch between lists, the only issue is when the list get longer than the screen there’s no where to press and hold to switch between lists. The only way I get around this is tapping around the lists name until it finally gives. But I think the issues lies with the newer model phones with the “dent” for cameras.

Helps me be productive. I downloaded this app a week before finals in hope that it would boost my productivity and it absolutely has. I used the large widget on my home screen and got rid of all the other apps and it helped so much. It blends in with the background so it is extremely clean and every time I open my phone it is a nice reminder to stay on track. If you want more than one list you need to pay for it, but I just update my list for what I need to do everyday so the free version works with no issues. The one downside I will say is that it is a little confusing interface and to get to the widgets to work at first, but once you understand it it’s easy to adjust to your liking. Great app

such a good, simple app. This app is exactly what I was looking for, a convenient list maker that’s customizable to my perfectionist eye. I would make my to do lists on paper and it would always need to be neat and a certain color. Paper was not as functional and I was looking for a replacement for my old system. But I am very picky with looks of certain things. I am an artist & I just prefer very clean simple looks. Other list makers and task apps are just too colorful for my liking and the font size & type would always be horrendous. That’s just how I am, and the fact that I can CUSTOMIZE IT makes me so happy & fills me with joy. A very small thing to be happy about. One thing I would like to have is a calendar view, but this is just a task list after all.

Great app, just wish there was more available in the free version. I love the simplicity of the app, and the widget is exactly what I was looking for. However, my one recommendation would be to broaden a bit what is available without upgrading to to the “premium” version. Without really getting a feel for the settings available to me (or what isn’t available) I don’t really feel much of a need to upgrade. Further, I dislike when I download a “free” app and instead get what almost seems a demo version unless I pay for the app. That’s not why I downloaded a free app, please make it clearer in the description what you get for “free” and what you have to upgrade for. Overall though, the design is just what I wanted, and I like how to navigate around.

perfect to-do list for the minimalist. this app lives up to its name. one of the things I’ve recently done is incorporating it with my calendar by sync, and it's been a great way to keep up with my to-do. I absolutely recommend this app and get asked about it a lot. it does just what I need without the frills and the complicated interface. I’ve been using it for probably about a decade now, no exaggeration. I use the desktop version as well and even though I have some sync issues at times between mobile and desktop, it still far exceeds the competitions in my eyes by way of simplicity and integration.

Forgetful? Want the minimal aesthetic as well? This is the app. This app makes my brain go brr okay. It’s perfect for the person seeking an easy to use planning app without unnecessary components. It has the ability to set a timer for each task so that you’re keeping track of time and can start your task on time. If you procrastinate with your phone or device it even has an option that tells you to put the device down and get back to work. I don’t even have the full version, but that’s how satisfying this app is. The full features don’t interest me so I’m fine with the free version. If you decide to get the full version, it’s extremely cheap compared to other planning/task management apps.

Don’t need anything else!!. The title says it all. You really don’t need another app if your looking for very simple organization of tasks or to-do lists and such. The criteria I had for my needs was that it had to be a simple app, it had to sync perfectly between my Apple devices and, most importantly, my main list would need to be accessible without opening the app. The first two are very straightforward, only except cloud syncing was gated behind a premium subscription (which was arguably cheaper than any other app I had seen, and also very worth it) The last one was even bigger of a surprise how well it worked. On the phone, widgets are very user friendly and also very pretty. Absolutely well done. On Mac, you can switch from an app view to having your list shown as a tab on your menu bar which makes it very easy to see and edit. I’m still working around the Apple Watch app but will update with my experience on it. So far I’m in love with the app and it’s convenience. The team definitely did their big one with this.

Feel like a minimalist without being one. This app is amazing. I’ve used it off & on for the last couple years and when I do use it, I feel so much better about everything. It gives me a way to have a simplified todo list without all the bells and whistles that are often distracting in other apps. And with this, there’s one thing in my life that is clean & organized. The interface is simple, it’s incredibly easy to use, and to upgrade is so cheap. Perfect for busy mothers who just need to jot down whatever comes to mind before somebody needs a diaper change. Definitely worth it!

pretty decent lock screen list widget. obviously, you can just use this app as a list. It’s a pretty basic app but it’s good. after exploring a few widget options I found this one. It will show you three checklist items on your lock screen. you can’t check them off or anything on the lock screen but it just looks like a cute little checklist. This is great for people who need to be reminded of things or forget things easily, but it only shows three at one time, not the best but pretty decent. I don’t feel like looking further and I don’t think there were many more options because the widgets being available on the lock screen is pretty new.

I’m really liking it so far. BLUF: It’s simplistic design is what draws me back again & again. So easy to use & it’s clear from distractions from the get go. I might give it 5 stars if I decide to pay for it & and it’s actually worth the money. RANT WARNING: Don’t u hate it when u read reviews that brings u thru an entire life story? Example: I downloaded this app a while ago to try it out. Never used it, put it in a folder & forgot it was there, had a few life-changing experiences (blah, blah, blah), had to delete some pics & apps due to iPhone having low memory (blah, blah, blah) found it in the folder next to another pic my neighbor’s ugly yappy lap dog, decided to give it a shot and (5 paragraphs later) I’m really liking it so far. If you’re one of these kind of reviewers, Please use the Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) method. Thank You.

Love it! Only one thing missing…. Love this app and it’s quickly becoming a family favorite. However today I was hoping to find a feature and was disappointed. The time and location reminders are great but I’d love an additional interval reminder. Not sure if that be the right term but I’m looking for something that would have a sliding recurring reminder based on when the task was last completed. For example if I need to change my filters once a month and was supposed to do it on the 10th but didn’t get to it until the 15th, I’d like the recurring task to update the next occurrence to the 15th. Really love this product! This would just make it perfect!

Really helpful. I paid for premium. Honestly I’m sure I could get this someone here else for free but it is helpful and I enjoy it. If you are someone who shops around before buying, I’m honestly not sure if you would land on this one. There isn’t much you can do other than make a list without getting premium. But you can make a list for free in a lot of places. Without premium probably not worth it. But I don’t have any complaints if the app, it has helped me get a hold on all the things I normally forget. And there are a few cool things like making it a widget, changing font and color etc. you can get notification, make more than one list, lock it witj your finger print on iPhones. Cool app, but again not sure if it’s the best one out there.

Fix you stat screen. I have been using the pro version on this app for about three years. I first I didn’t like the how the app feel it was missing lots of things. I know that you people going bare minimum, the app was missing lots of component of “to do” app, like ways of categorizing things without creating a new list. On the Stats screen where you see task done. There are no actual away be see how much task you complete. The one thing the graph show is block of rectangle that is going up from x-axis and the days are under their specific rectangle. There is No y- axis to reference the task completed. That is the same way from “focused” and “time slot”. This is incredibly stupid. How did guys come up with this. There is no away to see the actual stats on you stat screen because you idiot thought it was enough to do reference by just having bunch of rectangle side by side and a line going up and down on x-axis Of graph with having no y-axis value to just see the exact number focused time and task done. Idiots

Best Productivity App. I love this app so much that I bought the premium version (Don’t worry though, the free version has almost all of the features). The customizability is phenomenal and the simplistic set up is very nice. I love all the features that are included, which usually you would have to have multiple different apps to have like the completely custom reminders, productivity tracking, focus timer and pomodoro timer with lots of different sounds. There are a few issues though. The main one I have found is that the app sometimes crashes when you are using the focus timer. Also, some of the motivational quotes are incorrect grammatically in English but that doesn’t really matter.

Simplicity done right. Really just the most clean cut to do list app there is. I do have the premium since before it was a subscription and every time I delete this app thinking I don’t need it I redownload it. I’m now a college student and it’s so useful having a list for each class where I can write assignments and even have the list remind me about future ones. This has completely replaced my physical planner and I’ve always been a pen and paper kind of girl which is why I deleted the app in the past, not because ir was bad but because I prefer paper. But when you have so much going on it is really nice to have a simple app like this that lets you make separate lists and easily just write what u need to get done. Highly recommend

Best productive app(honest review). I am happy with this app as I am a student and have always used my reminder app on my iPhone to keep my assignment organized. since using this app I have been organized with making different list for specific tasks. The best part is I am able to see how many tasks I have completed. I am also able to use the pomodoro mode which has different settings like changed the sound you hear as you study. The one issue I am having is I recently purchased an Apple Watch and the app is not working at all in the watch. I was very excited to be able to use this app on my watch but it’s a bummer I’m not able to. I still give a five star because it has keep me on track with my tasks that I need to get done.
