We also added two new categories for Entertainment and Couples. We want you to find your perfect Artmojiās for every occasion.
š Introducing Siri Shortcut
Every year Apple releases new software and hardware. We are always looking for new ways to better integrate List Maker into how your phone works. This year one of the major new features of iOS 12 was opening up the Siri voice assistant to developers like us. We are releasing an update to the app that takes advantage of this new way of integrating with Siri. We are going to start by allowing users to create āSiri Shortcutsā for lists that will allow you to open List Maker directly to a list by just using your voice. For example, you will be able to issue a command just like this: āHey Siriā¦ Open my grocery listā¦ā
Try it out yourself:
- Open one of your lists
- Tap the āā¦ā menu
- Select āš Open List with Siri Shortcutā
- Use the record button to record a phrase like āOpen Groceriesā
- Drop out of the app
- Say āHey Siriā and use your phrase
- Boom! The app opens directly to your list.
š¼ Introducing Artmoji!
šØ Introducing 16 new colors!
Some of our premium members have asked for new colors. So, on top of creating a way to increase font sizes, we have also worked on two new premium color palettes.
š Introducing font size adjustments!
Many members have asked us how to increase the font size. So, over the last few weeks, we have worked on simple ways to do just that through our newly redesigned profile screen. On List Maker, you can now make fonts extra small, small, medium, large and extra large. But we didnāt stop there. We also connected List Maker to your iOS device accessibility feature. So, if you have already increased your font size there, List Maker fonts will automatically adjust to your preferred reading text sizes. Angela and others, this update was for you! And yeah, we read and respond to 100% of our feedback emails.
I am loving this app! My suggestion is to be able to increase the font size. Iām having a hard time reading it as is.āāāAngela
āļø Introducing headings!
Over the last two months, we introduced major lists improvements like āhide and show completed itemsā and āTap anywhere to add itemsā. Those updates were necessary to introduce our latest addition to List Maker, āheadingsā! With headings, you can now create sublists in a very simple way. While editing an item, tap the āHā button on the keyboard toolbar to turn an item into a heading.
ā Tap anywhere to add items.
In our last update, we introduced our first major list improvement to āhide and show completed itemsā. Our next improvement continues the simplification and cleanup weāve been working on recently. The latest update lets you tap anywhere to add items to your lists. Previously, to add items on List Maker, you needed to tap the āadd itemā button. Now, you can tap any empty space above or below your list to add items (see example above). With ātap anywhere to add itemsā, using List Maker feels more and more like making a list on a real chalk wall, on the go.
āļø ā
Hide and Show.
Over the next few weeks, we will roll out major list improvements. We think of these improvements as ālist mechanicsā because they change how your lists work. We canāt wait to show them all to you! Our first improvement lets you āhide or showā completed items. Previously, when you completed an item on List Maker, that item would go to the bottom of the list. Since we will soon introduce sub-headings (spoiler alert), that list mechanic didnāt work anymore. Now, when you complete an item, that item magically disappears with a simple yet clean animation. If you need to bring your completed items back, simply tap the completed item icon āāļø 1ā and all completed items will instantly reappear āā 1ā.
ā š Swipe left to set reminders.
To set a reminder, left swipe on any item and tap the reminder icon. Then select one of the quick set options or pick a date and time. Your reminder will magically appear next to your item. Thatās it! You are always 2 taps away from never forgetting an important task again.
šØāš©āš§āš¦ Remind the whole team.
Whenever you set a reminder on a shared list, all members of that list will receive it. This took a lot of time to get right but the result is a powerful little app that ājust worksā and gets out of your way so you can ājust workā too.
šØš»āš»šØš½āš» Team List Maker memo.
List Maker has always been about simplicity, yet if you look at other apps, reminders is a feature that tends to add a lot of complexity. We took our time to avoid the complexity trap and get it right. It took us over a thousand iterations to come up with something so simple yet so powerful. We canāt wait for you to try it.
ā£ Adding items from top to bottom.
Adding items is the most fundamental feature of a to-do list, so we will continuously improve it. In this update, we used your feedback to do just that. Now, you can add items from top to bottom instead of the other way around (just like you would naturally do on a chalkboard or paper). Lists that are written from bottom to top force you to know what you want to write last, first. In other words, you have to think backward.
š List shortcuts.
You may have noticed a new button on the top right corner of your lists. Tap it to open list shortcuts. You will now be able to erase or uncheck multiple items at once. You also have access to a shortcut to add members to a list or export that list via email (thanks to Elzaās feedback).
ā¤ļø Feedback we love.
āWhen I serendipitously stumbled upon this app, little did I know that it would become one of my essential go-to apps! Itās such a charming and handy app, and an absolute pleasure to use š I love the chalkboard concept, the different colored chalks, and the friendly font! I also highly appreciate that itās not overcrowded with excessive featuresāāāI love the beautiful simplicity! I find myself opening the app even when I donāt need it, just because it brings a smile to my face!ā¦ā ā from Elza
š Titles with multiple lines.
You can now create two-line titles! No more cutoff titles like āFavorite Restaurā¦ā. It seems simple, but among the top to-do list apps on the market, List Maker is currently the only to-do list that supports two-line titles. We even scaled the size of the title so that users with larger devices donāt type long titles that wonāt fit on smaller devices. Itās these little details that you wouldnāt otherwise think of that sets us apart from everyone else out there!
ā Drag and drop lists.
Two weeks ago, Sophia reached out to us. She wanted an option to move lists up and down. At the time, last edited lists would go to the top (similar to how iMessage works). It was great to keep track of the latest list updates. However, important lists like āš„ Grocery Listā would get dropped to the bottom until you needed them. We felt like the benefits of the manually organized list were outweighing the benefit of an automatic list management system. So thanks to Sophia š, you can now drag and drop lists to reorder them in your Kitchen Wall (just like the way you can drag and drop items in a list).
šØ Color-coded list titles.
A week ago, Kyriahnna emailed us about reflecting the internal list title color on her Kitchen Wall. As you know, you can change the internal list title color, but the title remains white on your Kitchen Wall to keep it homogenous. Kyrianhnna had a different perspective. She wanted to use title colors as a way to indicate the significance of a list within her Kitchen Wall. For example, she would use red titles to indicate important lists with high priority to take action on. What we liked about her idea is it would further allow you to take control of how you want to organize your Kitchen Wall, just like a real chalk board in your kitchen. The internal list title colors can now be reflected in your Kitchen Wall, thanks to Kyriahnnaās feedback š.
