Your tasks, always at hand
SideList lives in your Mac menu bar and in your pocket. Capture a task on your iPhone, check it off on your Mac — private by design, synced through your own iCloud.
See it in action
One focused app, wherever you are.
Capture in a second
Quick add from the menu bar or your iPhone. Type it, tap, done — before the thought slips away.
Synced across your devices
Your lists stay up to date on iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud. No account, no sign-up.
Private by design
No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Apple’s App Store privacy label for SideList reads: Data Not Collected.
Focused lists, not projects
Separate lists for work, ideas and errands. Keep what matters now in view and everything else out of the way.
Reminders on time
Set a reminder and SideList nudges you with a local notification — even when you are offline.
Archive and restore
Completed tasks move to the archive together with their original list, so you can find and restore anything later.

Answers before you buy
The honest questions people ask before a $2.99 purchase — answered straight.
Which devices does SideList work on?
iPhone, iPad and Mac — and it runs on Apple Vision too. It requires iOS 17.6, iPadOS 17.6, macOS 13.5 or visionOS 1.3 and later.
How does syncing work? Do I need an account?
No account and no sign-up. Sync happens through your own private iCloud, between the devices signed in with your Apple ID. Nothing is sent to the developer — there are no developer servers.
Does it work offline?
Yes. SideList works fully offline and your changes sync as soon as your devices are back online.
Why pay when Reminders and free to-do apps exist?
Free apps usually pay for themselves with accounts, ads or upsells that turn task management into a project of its own. SideList captures a task in under a second and never asks for your data. You are paying for the absence of friction — once.
Is it really one-time? Are updates included?
Yes. One payment, no subscription and no expiry. All current and future updates are included at no extra cost.
Is my data private?
Yes. SideList collects no data at all. Apple’s App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”: your tasks stay on your devices and in your private iCloud.
What if it is not for me?
Apps sold on the App Store are covered by Apple’s standard refund policy. If SideList is not the right fit, you can request a refund through Apple — no hard feelings.
