Checklists and due dates — a to-do can now hold its little steps

Some to-dos are really a handful of smaller ones wearing a coat. "Go shopping" is six items. "Gym" is five exercises. Until today the app made you choose: one vague to-do, or six noisy ones cluttering your list. Now the steps live inside.

Checklists

Tap any to-do to open it, tap "Add an item," and type — Enter gives you the next line, so emptying your head into a list takes seconds. Check things off as you go: finished items sink to the bottom on their own, unchecked ones stay on top, exactly the way a checklist behaves in Apple Notes. Uncheck something and it returns to its old spot. The row shows a quiet 2/5 so you can see where a list stands without opening it.

Due dates

Every to-do can now carry a date — the tax bill, the registration deadline, the RSVP. Open the to-do, set the date with the regular date picker, done. The row shows the date in passing; it turns gold the day it lands and red once it's past. No alarms, no nagging — it's a fact you stored, visible exactly when you're looking.

Both work everywhere a to-do lives — Home, the To Do tab, on your phone and your desktop. And if your AI assistant is connected, it can write checklists too: "add a grocery-run to-do with milk, eggs, and coffee on it" now does precisely that.
