Cute To-Do & Checklist Apps for iPhone: How to Choose
Most task apps are either overwhelming project tools or cluttered with ads and upsells. For everyday lists, the app you'll actually keep using is the one that feels calm and rewarding to open — clear items, a delightful tap to check things off, and nothing nagging you to upgrade.

- Fast to add and reorder tasks without menus getting in the way
