To-Do List & Reminders
Most to-do apps need a manual. Monolist doesn’t. One clean list, sorted the moment you add a task — Overdue, Today, Upcoming, Someday — with reminders, repeats and iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Coming soon to the App Store
There is nothing to set up. Add a task and Monolist files it — Overdue, Today, Upcoming or Someday — from the date you gave it, or didn’t. No projects, no tags, no folders.
Give a task a time and Monolist can nudge you before it — 5 minutes, 15 minutes, an hour, a day, or a number of minutes you pick. Anything that comes back gets a repeat rule instead of a copy.
The widget shows what is late, what is due today and what is coming, in small, medium or large — with a shortcut straight into a new task. There is nothing to configure.
Search runs across every filter at once — titles and notes, open and done. iCloud keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac in step, and the Mac build is a real window with real keyboard shortcuts.
By design
Monolist is for people who opened Todoist or Notion once, felt overwhelmed, and just wanted a list. Most of the work went into what is not in it.
Nothing to file, nothing to name, nothing to keep tidy. The due date is the only organising idea in the app.
Open it and add a task. Sync runs through your own iCloud account, so there is no Monolist login to create.
No analytics, no ad networks, no third-party frameworks. Your tasks live on your devices and in your iCloud.
A soft glass list with one accent colour, reserved for what is due. Everything else stays out of the way.
No, and that is the point. Monolist keeps a single list and sorts it for you into Overdue, Today, Upcoming and Someday based on each task’s date. There are no projects, tags or folders to set up or maintain.
Yes. Monolist syncs through CloudKit using your own iCloud account, so your tasks appear on every device signed in to that account. Nothing is sent to Nestor Studio.
Give a task a due time and switch on a reminder. Monolist schedules a local notification 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day before it is due, or after a custom number of minutes you choose. Notification permission is requested at the moment you turn a reminder on, not on launch.
It rolls forward to its next occurrence instead of disappearing, so a daily or weekly habit stays on the list. When you are finished with it for good, Finish Series ends it while keeping the rule, so reopening it restores the habit.
Yes. Monolist is free to download, with no subscription required for the list, reminders, repeats, search, iCloud sync or the widget.
