Lists

Hold an item, and everything you need is right there

Hold an item for a small sheet where you edit it, set a reminder or delete it. A short swipe gives you the same shortcuts, and for a new item you can just type when: “tomorrow at 9”.

Version 1.5.147

What's new

Three quick ways to deal with an item, without opening a whole screen:

  1. Hold it. A small sheet opens over your list: edit the text right there, set a reminder in one tap under “Remind me” (including when you arrive somewhere), change the amount, scan a document, or delete it. Close the sheet and the change is saved, with an “Undo” in case you change your mind.
  2. Swipe it a little. The row slides over and three round buttons show up: “Remind”, “Edit” and “Delete”. Swipe all the way to delete, and undo if you didn't mean it.
  3. Just type when. Type “Call grandma tomorrow at 6pm” in the add box and “Reminder: Tomorrow 18:00” shows up above it. Add it, and the item lands as “Call grandma” with the reminder set. Don't want the reminder? Tap the ×.

Why it matters

Setting a reminder on one item used to take five taps on a separate screen, and most people never found the long press at all. Now it's one tap, and sometimes zero: you just type when.

How to use it

  1. Open a list and hold an item, or swipe it a little to the side.
  2. Pick Remind, Edit or Delete.
  3. For a new item, write the time in words: “tomorrow”, “tonight”, “on Tuesday at 9”, “in an hour”. A plain number, like “2 lbs”, never counts as a time.

Reminders are free. Repeats, alarm mode and keep-reminding live under “More options”.
