Edit & Use Modes

The app has two clear modes, shown as chip toggles on the action bar just below the top bar. Switch between them at any time.

Edit Mode

Use this mode to add and organise your tasks:

  • Quick Add — the add-task bar appears at the bottom of the screen
  • Drag & Drop — drag handles appear on each task so you can prioritise your list
  • Delete Checked Items — available in the action bar menu to remove completed tasks

Use Mode

Switch to Use mode to focus on getting things done:

  • Check off tasks as you complete them — checked tasks automatically hide
  • Undo — a snackbar appears after each check with an Undo button
  • Confetti celebration — when every task is checked off, you will see a confetti animation!

Both Modes

These features work in both Edit and Use mode:

  • Search — tap the magnifying glass to filter your list
  • Edit — long-press a task to edit its name
  • Delete — long-press a task to delete it (with undo)
  • Reminders — long-press a task to add, edit, or cancel a reminder
