To Do List MinimaList & Widget

MinimaList has been around since late 2015 and its staying power shows in a store rating north of 4.7 across 45,000 reviews. InnerGrow keeps the premise genuinely simple: typed tasks, colored lists, home and lock screen widgets, and reminders that can be time-based or location-triggered. At 112 MB it is not featherweight for what it does, but the interface stays out of your way. It sits comfortably between a bare notes app and a full project manager, which is exactly the gap it is aiming at.

Where It Earns Its Rating

The smart input feature is the real workhorse here. Type something like 'call dentist tomorrow at 3pm' and MinimaList pulls the time out automatically and sets the reminder without a separate menu. Location-based reminders add another layer for errands. The widget support covers both home screen and lock screen, so your list is genuinely one glance away rather than buried inside the app. Color-coded lists help separate work tasks from grocery runs at a glance.

Friction Points Worth Knowing

Shared lists have a notable limitation baked right into the feature: share links must be opened in Safari specifically, which adds a small but real step when collaborators are on a different default browser. Sub-tasks and memo fields exist but feel secondary to the main list view rather than naturally integrated. The 112 MB install size is larger than comparable minimal task apps, and in-app purchases are listed without specifics, so it is unclear upfront which features sit behind a paywall.

Who Should Download This

MinimaList suits someone who wants one place for personal to-do lists, grocery runs, and timed reminders without learning a system like GTD or managing projects with dependencies. The customizable themes and font controls appeal to users who spend real time looking at their task list and want it to feel personal. It is less suited to teams or anyone needing recurring complex tasks, but for a solo user who wants a clean daily capture tool it is a well-maintained, reliable option.
