Capture fast
Add a task without deciding every detail first. Sort it later into a list, date, tag, or planning view.
Choosing a To-Do List App
The best to-do list app is the one you do not abandon next Tuesday.
A good task app should be fast enough for groceries, flexible enough for work, and calm enough that opening it does not feel like checking in with a disappointed manager.

OnlyList starts with the basics, then adds structure when the task gets ambitious.
What a good to-do list app should do.
Remind reliably
Due dates, reminder times, recurring tasks, snooze, and restore should all work together instead of forming separate little islands.
Stay readable
Power features should not make the everyday list feel like a project management suite wearing shoulder pads.
Why OnlyList fits that shape.
- Simple by default: lists, folders, tasks, subtasks, notes, tags, and reminders are easy to understand.
- Planning when needed: Planner, Calendar, Board, and Matrix help when a plain list starts wheezing.
- Private and portable: no adverts, no selling personal data, and export options when you want your own copy.
- Fair upgrade path: the free plan is useful, while Premium adds sync, sharing, attachments, backup, and advanced views.
