📝 About this app
Ikiru is a simple but powerful app for making lists, keeping notes and setting reminders. It aims to help you live a productive and meaningful life, by enabling you to focus on the things that are most important to you.
IKIRU IS VERSATILE
Use it to create to do lists, shopping lists, take notes, store contact information, keep track of books to read, or movies to watch... or anything else you'd want to make a list for.
IKIRU IS BEAUTIFUL
With a clean and easy to use design, choose from over 2000 icons to assign to your lists.
IKIRU IS POWERFUL
- create lists within lists
- assign a due date and reminder to list items
- view all items with a due date in one convenient timeline
- add a photo to list items
- drag and drop to sort list items, or automatically keep a list sorted alphabetically, by modification date, completion date, and more
- easily copy or move items from one list to another
- mark items incomplete to return them to their original position in the list (this makes lists easy to reuse)
- send a list via email, and the receiver can import your list into their copy of Ikiru
- view items with due dates on your Apple Watch
IKIRU KEEPS YOUR DATA SAFE
- automatically back up and sync lists between iOS devices using iCloud
- use Touch ID or a custom passcode to protect your information
IKIRU HAS PURPOSE
The word "ikiru" (ee-kee-roo) means "to live" in Japanese. It's also the title of an Akira Kurosawa film about a man who decides to do something meaningful with his life. Ikiru (the app) is my attempt at doing something meaningful with my life, and hopefully help others live meaningful and productive lives.
IKIRU HAS HISTORY
In 2010 I released a list-making app called "Paperless". From busy moms to airplane pilots to people who needed a little help remembering things after suffering a brain injury, Paperless has been used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Ikiru is built upon that legacy - incorporating the best ideas from Paperless, greatly improving upon them, and adding big features that people have requested.

🌍Geographic ReachNot ranked
This app is currently outside the top 100 grossing in all 9 countries we monitor (US, UK, DE, FR, JP, CA, AU, BR, IN). Niche or new apps often launch this way — popularity rankings appear once daily revenue clears the regional threshold.
Profile is built from iTunes Lookup + developer site scrape + ML revenue model. Empty fields show "Not found" — additional sources (Crunchbase, X, IndieHackers, Acquire.com) coming.
