About Focalist

Instant editing:
Focalist doesn't slow you down in a separate add or edit screen: managing your list is like editing a document. You can still schedule, set reminders and categorize a task instantly from the quick actions popup.

Bring your tasks to you:
You shouldn't have to dig around for the next task. The Now view shows you only tasks you can accomplish right now. You can set tasks to show up later, on a particular device, or at a location like a grocery store. You can surface projects by having the top task show up there.

Location-based tasks
Have your phone pop up a notification when you arrive at any grocery store, telling you to buy bananas. Or at any hardware store, telling you to buy a new drill bit.

Device-based tasks:
Sometimes you really need the space of a larger screen. Tell your task to show only on your laptop.

Weather-based tasks:
Coming soon: Get a notification to take the patio cushions in if it's going to rain, or to do gardening if it's sunny.

Nest as much as you want:
Break down your tasks into smaller steps, and break those down into even smaller steps. Collapse them when you don't need to see the details. Your lists themselves can also be nested and collapsed to as many levels as you like.

Syncs in seconds
Instantly syncs to all your devices to the cloud. Also syncs notification dismissals, so you never have to deal with duplicate notifications.

All the basics:
* Download on any platform: iOS, Android, macOS, Windows
* Create reusable checklists.
* Schedule recurring tasks.
* Set up reminder notifications.
* Enable dark mode.

A straightforward little app that’s taking over tasks that Keep Notes wasn’t great at. It’s easy to make lists, satisfying to check items off, and easy to review completed items. There’s options to set start dates and times for checklist items that I haven’t used yet but will doubtless be useful sooner or later.

Infinite indentations and subtasks galore! Also, geolocated tasks. Super helpful, practical and keeps life running smoothly.

Love this app. The location-based triggers are super handy. I'm always forgetting random things I need to buy so I'll create a list for each category, like groceries, home improvement, etc. Then Focalist will trigger any time I visit that type of store. Saves me time every week.
