Why OnlyList
We read what people say about the most popular to-do apps. Then we fixed it.
Store reviews and forum threads for the ten biggest task apps kept circling the same frustrations. Each one below shaped how OnlyList works.
30,000+
app reviews read, from 1-star rants to 5-star love letters.
The reminder just never went off.
OnlyListReminders you can trust
Reminders ring even when the app is closed. Finish or snooze right from the notification, or keep it nagging until it's done.
I can't see my day. It's all one long list.
OnlyListYour day, three ways
Flip Today between a list, an hour-by-hour timeline, and a grid you color in as you go.
They moved the basics behind a paywall.
OnlyListThe basics stay free
Reminders, repeating tasks, subtasks, restore and export are in the free plan and staying there.
New phone, and every task was gone.
OnlyListNothing disappears
Deleted tasks wait in the trash, changes can be undone, and you can export to JSON or CSV any time. With Premium, everything is backed up daily and follows you to a new phone.
Setting it up took longer than doing the tasks.
OnlyListReady in a minute
Open it, type what's on your mind, done. Folders, tags and views are there when you want them and quiet when you don't.

FAQ
Questions people reasonably ask.
What happens if I skip a few days?
Nothing dramatic. Unfinished tasks gather in a calm “From earlier” section on Today. Move them all with one tap, or turn on rollover and they move forward on their own.
Will my reminders actually go off?
Yes, once you allow notifications. Reminders reach your phone or computer even when OnlyList is closed, and you can finish or snooze straight from the notification. For must-not-miss tasks, turn on “Keep reminding until done”. On iPhone, add OnlyList to your home screen first.
What does the free plan include?
Unlimited lists, tasks and subtasks, reminders, repeating tasks, snooze, habits, the focus timer, search, all color schemes, trash and export. No ads, ever.
What does Premium add?
Sync across all your devices, the Timeline, Calendar, Board, Planner and Matrix views, shared lists, file attachments and automatic daily backup. $2.99 a month or $19.99 a year.
Can I share lists with my household?
Yes. Invite people by email. Everyone can add, edit and tick things off, and changes show up for everyone right away.
Is my data private?
Yes. No ads, no tracking pixels, no data selling. Your tasks are encrypted in transit, and you can export everything at any time.
