Purelist: Notes & Tasks

Capture Ideas, Get Things Done

Features & Capabilities

Purelist is a thought organizer for those who are serious about their work or studies. Purelist prioritizes your focus on what's important, not adding extra features or decorations to get your attention. If you are looking for a motivational tool, Purelist may not be for you. However, if you need something simple to help you achieve your goals, it may be perfect for you.

Purelist can be used for daily planning, task management, and note taking. It's helpful for habit checklists, lecture notes, and shopping lists. Its clean interface won't steal your time. There are no ads, and it doesn't collect your data.

Purelist has no checkboxes in the list and is completed by swiping, so it can be used for both task management and idea capture. The star icon indicates the urgency of tasks or the importance of ideas. Purelist is designed to do more with less, so you don't get confused and lose the features you need.

User Reviews

Users love the app’s simple, clean design and paper-like note feel with easy capture and one-level subtasks. Privacy and export options are appreciated. Recurrent issues include clunky indentation, unreliable cross-device syncing (notably Mac vs iOS), high subscription costs, missing recurring task support, and occasional data-loss risk from accidental taps. Overall, it’s praised for simplicity but hindered by UX, sync, and feature gaps.
Pros
  • Simple, clean and minimal UI that reduces clutter and is easy to use.
  • Paper-like note/todo experience with bullets and easy capture.
  • One-level subtasks to break down tasks without clutter.
  • Privacy-focused: doesn't excessively collect data and supports easy export/share.
  • Active development and updates indicating ongoing improvements.
Cons
  • Indent/outdent UX is clunky and requires multiple taps; users want a quick swipe/gesture alternative.
  • Cross-device syncing is unreliable, especially Mac-to-iOS; syncing limitations are frequently mentioned.
  • Subscription price is high/ discouraging for some users.
  • Missing recurring tasks/dates feature reduces usability as a to-do app.
  • Risk of data loss from accidental taps (accidental deletion) and some Mac-specific limitations (e.g., collapsing notes).

This reminds me of Slicktask back in blackberry days where capturing my thoughts clearly was faster than my thinking. The standout here is every task manager out there you can create one level of subtask. This helps breakdown as well as keep a clutter free view. Just amazing!

Love how simple it is but the indent and outdent functionality is annoying (multiple taps to make simple changes to indented items). A swipe action setting could fix this quickly. Until then I’m going back to apple notes.

I think app almost nearly perfectly immitates a piece of paper for me. The only thing I feel like I need is a strick “note” element. The bullets are great for logging events and tasks. But I would like a non-bold text line with no bullet, just for notes. That would make this 100% for me. ;-)
