Today’s little priorities
What are Textable task lists?
Textable task lists are simple to-do lists inside the Textable app. You can create as many lists as you need, add tasks by typing or by scanning handwriting, tick tasks off, and optionally add a date and reminder so a task also appears in your calendar.

A to-do list that doesn’t ask for too much
Most to-do apps want a project, a priority and a due date for every item. Textable keeps it lighter: a list, some tasks and a tick. Add structure only when it helps, like a date that puts a task on your calendar or a reminder for a follow-up call.
Lists work hand in hand with the rest of Textable. Capture longer thinking in notes, and keep the bills that come with your tasks in Pocket Ledger.
Ideas for lists that help
- Daily priorities. Three to five things that make today a good day.
- Shop or stock checks. Scan the handwritten counter list every morning.
- Follow-ups. Calls and messages, each with a reminder.
- Household. Groceries, repairs and renewals, shared from one place.

Task Lists: frequently asked questions
Do tasks need a due date?
No. A task can stay undated. Add a date when you want it to appear in your schedule, and set a reminder for items you need to follow up on.
Can I turn a handwritten list into tasks?
Yes. Scan the page with the handwriting scanner, review the lines, and save them into a new or existing list as tickable tasks.
Will I get reminders?
Yes, when Textable notifications are enabled and allowed in your device settings. Delivery also depends on connectivity and device settings.
Can I search my lists?
Yes. Use search on the Lists tab to find a list by name.
What happens when I archive a list?
The list and its tasks are removed from your active lists so your view stays focused.
