SimplyDone - ToDo & Tasks · Effective November 13, 2026
In short: Your lists, tasks, notes, reminders and photos stay on your device, unless you choose to share a list. There's no account and no analytics of the app's own. Since version 1.3.0, SimplyDone is free and shows a small banner ad from Google AdMob. Google collects some device and usage data to show and measure those ads, as described below, but never your lists, tasks or photos. SimplyDone Pro removes the ads.
What stays on your device
Everything you create in SimplyDone is saved only on your device: lists, tasks and their steps and descriptions, notes and their folders, groups, reminders, photos you attach, the history of repeating lists, and your settings. None of it is sent to the developer, to Google or to any advertiser, and the developer has no way to see it. Nothing goes to anyone else unless you share a list yourself.
Sharing a list
When you share a list, SimplyDone makes a file containing the list's name and description, and each task's name, description, whether it's done, and its steps. Its reminders, photos, group and history are left out. The file goes only where you send it from the iOS share sheet: with AirDrop it goes straight to the other device, and with another app, such as Messages or Mail, it's handled by that app under its own privacy terms. The developer never receives it. A list someone shares with you is added only if you choose to add it.
Ads
SimplyDone shows a banner ad at the bottom of the main screen and of each list. The ads come from Google AdMob. To choose, show and measure ads, and to prevent ad fraud, Google's software in the app collects:
- Device identifiers: an identifier iOS shares only with apps from the same developer and, only if you allow tracking, your device's advertising identifier
- Your IP address, which Google uses to estimate your approximate location, such as your country or city
- Information about the ads you see and tap, and basic app activity such as when the app opens
- Diagnostics, such as crash reports and performance data about the ads
Google may link this data to your device and, if you allow tracking, combine it with data from other apps and websites to show ads that interest you. Google handles this data under its own policies: Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps that use its services. The developer doesn't receive this data about you, only overall reports such as how many ads were shown.
Your choices about ads
- Tracking: before SimplyDone shows its first ad, iOS asks whether the app may track you. If you choose Ask App Not to Track, your advertising identifier isn't shared and the ads aren't based on your activity in other apps. You can change this anytime in the iPhone Settings app under Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Consent in Europe: in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form asks for your choices before any ad loads. You can change them anytime in SimplyDone under Settings → Privacy Choices.
- No ads: SimplyDone Pro removes the ads. With Pro, the ad software isn't started and you're not asked about tracking or consent.
What SimplyDone doesn't do
- No account or sign-in
- No analytics of the app's own
- Your lists, tasks, notes and photos are never shared with Google or advertisers
- No selling of your data
Camera and photos
If you choose to attach a photo to a task, a step or a note, SimplyDone asks for access to your camera or photo library. It saves its own copy of the photo inside the app and never changes or deletes anything in your photo library. Deleting the photo, or the task, step or note it's on, deletes its copy.
Notifications
Reminders are scheduled on your device. They don't go through any server.
Purchases
SimplyDone Pro removes the ads. It's bought through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment, and the developer never receives your payment details. The app checks with the App Store whether you own Pro. Apple's handling of purchases is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
App updates
SimplyDone may download small updates to the app from Expo, the service it's built with. These requests contain only technical details needed to deliver the right update, such as the app version and platform. They contain none of your lists, tasks, notes or photos.
To let you know when a newer version is on the App Store, SimplyDone asks Apple's public App Store lookup for the app's latest version. The request contains only the app's identifier, nothing about you or your lists.
Reporting a bug
Settings → Report a Bug opens an email to support in your Mail app, with the app version, whether you're on an iPhone or iPad, the iOS version and the app's language filled in. You see all of it and decide whether to send it. If you do, the developer receives your email address and what you wrote, and uses them only to reply and fix the problem.
Privacy Policy and Terms in the app
When you open the Privacy Policy or Terms of Use in SimplyDone, the page loads from this website, which is hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any website, GitHub may log basic technical details of the visit, such as your IP address. SimplyDone sends nothing about you or your lists with it.
Backups
If you back up your device to iCloud or to a computer, SimplyDone's data is included in that backup, as it is for most apps. Those backups are handled by Apple and controlled by you.
Deleting your data
You can delete lists and tasks in the app at any time. To delete everything at once, go to Settings → Delete All Data: all your lists, tasks, notes, groups, photos and history are removed from the device, and your Pro purchase and settings stay. Deleting SimplyDone from your device also deletes all of its data. Data Google collected for ads is held by Google; see Google's Privacy Policy for how to manage or delete it.
Children
SimplyDone is a general-audience app and isn't directed at children. The developer doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children. Ads in the app are served by Google under its own policies.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
