Why List Only works as your Android to-do list

A distraction-free todo list app for Android and simple lists for Android: fast to open, easy to scan, built for people who want offline checklists without accounts or subscriptions.

Categories

Each item belongs to one category. Manage categories from the picker, filter by active category, and rename or reorder. Set a color theme per category (follow the app default or lock a named palette). Optional template categories (shown with a # prefix) can be cloned with all items and their theme choice; templates stay off the main picker.

Swipe between lists

Move between Cancelled, Active, and Completed with smooth, finger-tracked swipes—plus swipe actions on rows for quick status changes.

Locked section headers

Lock any item to use it as a visual separator across all statuses. Swipe the locked row to move/delete the whole section below, or swipe up/down to add section items at the start or end.

Local storage only

No sign-up. Your lists are stored on the device. Android backup can help restore data after reinstall when backup is enabled on your account.

Reorder & edit

Double-tap to enter reorder mode with drag handles; long-press to edit text and category. Multiline input when adding items.

Play updates

After you accept the privacy policy, the app can notify you when an update is available on Google Play (Play-distributed installs).

About & settings

About, Policies, and Settings: appearance (System / Dark / Light), default color theme (named accent presets), orientation (System / Portrait / Horizontal), custom status and default category labels, optional active links and smart paste (split clipboard on add item), and in-app licenses.

Release notes & changelog

Full version history for List Only on Android. Latest release: 1.5.0 (build 8).

Version 1.5.0+8

What’s new

  • Default color themes: in Settings, pick a global accent preset (Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Red, Violet, Yellow); Green stays the default. Shapes app chrome, splash, and any category set to “Default theme.”
  • Category color theme: when adding or editing a category, choose Default theme (follows the app setting) or a fixed preset. Templates can store a theme; cloning copies it—default stays dynamic, a fixed preset is copied as-is.
  • List chrome: the main list (app bar, tabs, list background, action bars, FABs) uses the active category’s palette; the side drawer keeps the global app theme.

Note: MVP continues; this release focuses on theming and per-category visuals.

Version 1.4.0+7

What’s new

  • Template categories: mark categories as templates (# prefix), clone template with items; templates excluded from the main list category picker.
  • Orientation: System, Portrait, or Horizontal in Settings—applied across the app and launch.
  • Active links: optional tappable links in list rows; add/edit fields stay plain text.
  • Smart paste: long-press Paste on add item to split clipboard by separators when it yields multiple items; single-segment paste behaves like normal paste.
  • UX: list scroll and padding fixes; landscape phone layout (bottom bar + compact FABs); improved dialogs with keyboard on small landscape screens.

Note: MVP continues; this release adds templates, links, paste workflows, and orientation control.

Version 1.3.0+6

What’s new

  • Locked sections: locked items now act as visual section headers and are visible across Cancelled, Active, and Completed tabs.
  • Section gestures: swiping a locked header applies actions to the section below it; vertical swipe opens quick add for first/last position in that section.
  • Status-aware section add: adding from a locked section now uses the currently selected status tab.
  • Bulk actions: restore-all and delete-all ignore locked headers for both visibility and processing.
  • Settings: customizable names for statuses and the default category; save button activates only when values changed.
  • UX updates: category editing is available from the category picker; add/edit dialogs keep multiline behavior with compact icon actions.
  • Android splash: larger startup icon treatment with refined branding placement.

Note: This release continues MVP with focus on polish, consistency, and release hardening.

Version 1.2.0+5

What’s new

  • Categories and items: change an item’s category from the edit screen; restore and delete-all actions apply only to items in the currently active category.
  • Lists and ordering: reorder items in every tab (Cancelled, Active, Completed); order is kept stable when you move items between statuses.
  • Adding items: multiline input for new items; Enter submits the add dialog; category add accepts Enter to add (empty input cancels).
  • Item actions: long-press opens edit (text and category); double-tap turns on reorder mode with drag handles and a per-row delete control (replacing the old item overflow menu).
  • Navigation: drawer order is now About → Policies → Settings → Categories.
  • About: richer copy aligned with the Play Store listing and an active link to beukot.com.
  • Android: separate debug install from Play release (.debug application id so local runs don’t overwrite store data); portrait orientation; refreshed native splash / launch visuals; improved edge-to-edge behavior and fewer deprecated window APIs on recent Android versions.

Note: Some graphics or vendor log messages on certain devices are outside the app and can be ignored.

Version 1.1.0+4

What’s new

  • Categories for list items:
    • each item belongs to exactly one category;
    • non-removable default category Master;
    • category management from the drawer (Categories): add, rename, delete, and drag-and-drop reorder;
    • deleting a category reassigns its items to a selected category (or Master when applicable).
  • Active category selector on the main screen (next to +) and category-based filtering across Cancelled, Active, and Completed tabs.
  • Startup app update check for Android (after privacy policy acceptance), with prompt and link to the Play Store when an update is available.
  • Improved category name input defaults: first letter uppercase and remaining lowercase by default, while preserving user-intended custom casing.

Note: In-app update availability is provided by Google Play services and is intended for Play-distributed installs.

Version 1.0.1+3

What’s new

  • Improved list swipe navigation with smooth, finger-tracked transitions between Cancelled, Active, and Completed lists.
  • Enhanced add-item flow: clearer action labels in the add dialog; safer text handling (trimmed input, no empty records); items added directly to the currently selected list.
  • Fixed Privacy Policy acceptance screen layout so the Accept button stays accessible with 3-button Android navigation.
  • Corrected launcher icon generation for proper proportions on device home screens.
  • Improved launch/splash screen consistency and app startup visuals.
  • Added Android backup/restore rules so local list data can be restored after reinstall when Android backup is enabled.

Note: Data restore after reinstall depends on device/account backup settings in Android.

Sailor Toolbox — theory for sailing in your pocket

Marine communication and safety reference for Android: alarms, scales, Morse, flags, Q code, and more.

If you sail or study for a marine radio certificate, Sailor Toolbox helps you rehearse mayday, pan-pan, and sécurité wording; read wind and sea state; decode flags and Q signals; and walk through crew checklists before you leave the dock. Polish exam material supports UKE paths (IWC, SRC, LRC).
