Description

Ikiru is a simple but powerful app for making lists, keeping notes and setting reminders. It aims to help you live a productive and meaningful life, by enabling you to focus on the things that are most important to you.


IKIRU IS VERSATILE
Use it to create to do lists, shopping lists, take notes, store contact information, keep track of books to read, or movies to watch... or anything else you'd want to make a list for.


IKIRU IS BEAUTIFUL
With a clean and easy to use design, choose from over 2000 icons to assign to your lists.


IKIRU IS POWERFUL
- create lists within lists

- assign a due date and reminder to list items

- view all items with a due date in one convenient timeline

- add a photo to list items

- drag and drop to sort list items, or automatically keep a list sorted alphabetically, by modification date, completion date, and more

- easily copy or move items from one list to another

- mark items incomplete to return them to their original position in the list (this makes lists easy to reuse)

- send a list via email, and the receiver can import your list into their copy of Ikiru

- view items with due dates on your Apple Watch


IKIRU KEEPS YOUR DATA SAFE
- automatically back up and sync lists between iOS devices using iCloud

- use Touch ID or a custom passcode to protect your information


IKIRU HAS PURPOSE
The word "ikiru" (ee-kee-roo) means "to live" in Japanese. It's also the title of an Akira Kurosawa film about a man who decides to do something meaningful with his life. Ikiru (the app) is my attempt at doing something meaningful with my life, and hopefully help others live meaningful and productive lives.


IKIRU HAS HISTORY
In 2010 I released a list-making app called "Paperless". From busy moms to airplane pilots to people who needed a little help remembering things after suffering a brain injury, Paperless has been used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Ikiru is built upon that legacy - incorporating the best ideas from Paperless, greatly improving upon them, and adding big features that people have requested.


IKIRU NEEDS LOVE

Great app. One of a kind.

Not many apps out there have this sleek look and allow you to make folders, sub folders etc. My suggestion would be to have a “highlight” option for to do items that you want to mark as priority. Perhaps an option on a swipe that results in background colour for that item being a few shades different than other items that are not “highlighted”.
Besides that this app is awesome for the price. I have purchased it twice now.
I give this app a 4.5!

Could have been a great app

Could have been a great app, but unfortunately not a lot of development and enhancements happened in the last few years I have had it. You still can’t tag, you can’t even view parent of your note which is very limiting in searching something that has unlimited layering.

Most annoying bugs have not been fixed. On my iPad pro, once you turn on faceID the app never opens on the first try! You have to close it and reopen it. Not only that but once you turn on faceID lock you can’t go back and disable it. When you try to do that from the interface the UI just blinks and takes you nowhere. Also constant issues with losing synch between devices.

I'm revising my review below from one to three stars

I'm changing my review as I have resolved some of the issues I was having and have increased my rating from one to three stars. I LOVED this app and have been using it for years but it started to crash constantly. When my iPhone 7+ started playing up recently I increased my iCloud memory to 1Tb to ensure I had backup. I had so many problems backing up to my support phone that I had virtually given up on this App. After much help from Apple and the purchase of a new iPhone 14 I have overcome most of the issues and I can again access the App and still use it as I have SO much data on there but it just shuts after a few minutes. It's VERY frustrating. The App seems to be unsupported but I would gladly pay a small annual subscription as it is so comprehensive. Maybe the developer has been seriously ill or heaven forbid has died. I have dozens of lists here in fact I use it as a pictorial inventory for hobby collections like numismatics (google it). I have lists within lists for everything from storage lockers to shopping lists and recipes. It's simply amazing. I'm just FRUSTRATED to hell that I have to keep reopening it every couple of minutes! Original review - Best avoided, unsupported for years. I used to use this app extensively and had many VERY detailed lists. It WAS an AWESOME app but was never well supported. Recently it stopped syncing and when I changed my phone I could not transfer my lists. As far as I can tell all the good reviews are years old and the app is redundant. I’m surprised Apple still list it.
