Closed List

Ten things. Then you stop.

Closed List is a to-do app with a bottom.

Start with a short introduction that lets you try the idea without changing your real data. Capture anything on Open. A thought becomes a commitment only when you choose it for your closed list.

CHOOSE, THEN CLOSE
Choose between one and ten active tasks, then tap Close the list. That selection stays across days and relaunches. Completed, returned and let-go rows remain visible, so the list can shrink without asking you to refill it. Tap Revise only when you mean to choose again.

NO AUTOMATIC REFILL
Finishing a task does not offer another one. While the selection is closed, direct entry, promotion from Open and trades wait until Revise. While Choosing, a full list can admit something new only through an explicit trade: choose what leaves, then return it to Open or let it go.

END THE DAY
Tap Enough for today at any count. Unfinished tasks and the closed selection stay in place. The Enough screen offers Resume when you decide to continue. A new day starts at 4 a.m. by default, or at the local time you choose in Settings.

CAPTURE WITHOUT COMMITTING
Use Open, the share sheet, Siri, Shortcuts, the Action button, Control Centre or the Lock Screen. Every capture lands on Open and takes no place on the closed list.

YOUR COPY
There is no developer account, no ads and no tracking. Your data starts on your iPhone. Optional iCloud sync is off by default and uses your private iCloud account when you turn it on. The one-time purchase is processed through RevenueCat, and anonymous usage counts go to PostHog; neither ever receives anything you write. Export as plain text or JSON from Settings.

ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Closed List is free to download. Capture, completion, Return to Open, Let go, Undo, Enough, History and export remain available without a purchase. One non-consumable purchase unlocks admitting new commitments. There is no subscription and no trial. The App Store price appears before purchase.
