SimplyDone - ToDo & Tasks

Common questions

Where are my lists stored?

On your device only. SimplyDone has no account and no servers, so no one else can see your lists, not even the developer.

Are my lists backed up?

When your iPhone or iPad is backed up to iCloud or to a computer, SimplyDone's data is included in that backup. Deleting the app deletes its data, so keep a backup if you want to keep your lists.

Is SimplyDone free?

Yes. Every feature is free: as many lists, tasks and notes as you like, note folders, steps, repeating lists, the progress card, reminders, photos, groups and sharing. A small banner ad at the bottom of the main screen and of each list keeps it free.

How do I remove the ads?

Go to Settings → Remove Ads and buy SimplyDone Pro. It's a one-time purchase that you keep for good, not a subscription. If you bought Pro in an earlier version, you already have it and won't see ads.

How do I get Pro back on a new device?

In SimplyDone, go to Settings → Remove Ads and tap Restore Purchase. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you used to buy it.

How do I change my ad tracking or consent choices?

To allow or stop tracking, open the iPhone Settings app and go to Privacy & Security → Tracking. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, you can also change your ad consent in SimplyDone under Settings → Privacy Choices. Your lists and tasks are never shared with advertisers either way. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I make a list repeat?

Tap the list's name to edit it, choose Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, Twice a month or On dates, and save. On each repeat day, the list's done tasks become undone again, ready to use.

How do notes work?

Write a note from Notes on the main screen. Tap Link a list to link it to any of your lists, and Add photos to add as many photos as you like. When a note has more than four, tap the count to see them all, then tap Select to delete some or all of them at once. On the Notes page, drag a note onto a folder to move it in, or touch and hold it to pin it or move it.

Where can I see what I did on earlier days?

At the bottom of a repeating list, tap History. The current day or week is on top and updates as you check off tasks. Each earlier one is kept below it, with when each task was done, and its descriptions and photos.

How do I share a list?

In the list, tap ⋯, then Share List, and choose AirDrop or another way to send it. It opens in SimplyDone on the other iPhone or iPad. The list's name, description and tasks are sent, with their steps; reminders, photos and its group stay with you.

Someone shared a list with me. What happens?

Open the file, and SimplyDone shows the list ready to add. If you already have a list with the same name, you can replace it, keep both, or cancel. A replaced list goes to Recently Deleted, where you can restore it for 30 days.

I'm not getting reminders.

Open the iPhone Settings app, go to Notifications → SimplyDone, and turn on Allow Notifications. Also check that a Focus mode isn't silencing them.

I deleted a list by mistake.

Go to Settings → Recently Deleted in SimplyDone. Deleted lists stay there for 30 days, and you can restore them.

How do I delete all my data?

Go to Settings → Delete All Data. It removes all your lists, tasks, notes, groups and photos from the device, including Archived and Recently Deleted. Your Pro purchase and settings stay. This can't be undone, since your data isn't stored anywhere else.

How do I report a bug?

Go to Settings → Report a Bug. It opens an email with the app version and device details filled in, so you only need to describe what happened. You can also email simplydone.support@gmail.com directly.

Can I change the language?

Yes, in Settings → Language. SimplyDone is available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese.
