Have you looked at Todoist? They have kanban views and poo poo, in addition to the more traditional checklist view.

I use Things on an iPad that sits on my desk next to my horrible work PC.

Is there a thread for sharing an Apple One family plan? I got two spots available for $5 (if I fill the last 2 spots) and just want to see who’s interested.

Check in Coupons. That's where that sort of thing is generally organized.

Sharing an Apple One plan means sharing a family plan which in turn means all members of the plan use the primary’s credit card for any purchases in the App Store so be aware of that.

Yeah but that’s not what I’m looking for? Again I’m not seeing anything anywhere for an Apple plan. I checked this entire forum.

my favorite list making gesture based app Clear that i've used for over a decade finally stopped working with the latest ios update and im having a hell of a time finding another app that's simple and good looking that functions similarly. i just looked at microsoft to do but even that's more cluttered looking than i'd like. any suggestions?

There was supposed to be a new version of Clear, but some Googling makes it seem like it's dead in the water.

No gestures, but Apple Reminders can be kept simple like that.

Friendly.

It's a web wrapper for facebook, nextdoor, etc. It erases FB ads and replaces it with its own ads unless you pay $4.99 for a nice clean look.

You can uninstall official apps that are potentially malicious and just have a web portal.

It's not magical or anything just a browser really that's trimmed down for social media sites that have lovely apps. I use twitterific for twitter and apollo for reddit but I just don't like or trust the official apps.

On that note Apollo is also a really good Reddit app.

Jump on the TestFlight for the new version of Clear. It’s mostly inactive but the developers refresh it every time it’s close to running out.

i actually used this for a few days after emailing the devs about the original not working but then this one stopped working too which i took as a sign that my time with clear was over

As nice as this is I’d be wary of trusting it for anything important. I don’t know anything about the history of this updated Clear build (I used to love the original app) but TestFlight builds expire every 90 days, and if they don’t plan on releasing it officially they’ll probably get bored of refreshing this build every time. At that point your data will be trapped in an app you can’t launch at all, not just “no longer updated” or “maybe buggy”.

Brave browser works perfectly for YouTube, with full ad blocking and PiP while still in mobile view.

Sadly their mobile site is missing obvious features like adding to playlists, but it’s still the best option.

Their deliberately broken app offends me.

I remember some sort of substituting ads and then paying the advertiser only if they signed up to Brave, also in some sort of crypto?

Plus while the OP said “with the phone off”, I presume they meant “with the screen off” which would stop anything playing in PiP.
