Quick answers
The essentials before you download.
Which devices does SideList work on?
Mac (menu bar app), iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision. It needs macOS 13.5, iOS/iPadOS 17.6 or visionOS 1.3 and later.
How does syncing work without an account?
Through your own private iCloud, between devices signed in with your Apple ID. There are no SideList servers and the developer never sees your tasks.
Does it work offline?
Yes, fully. Capture and complete tasks anywhere; everything syncs when you are back online.
Why pay $2.99 when free apps exist?
Free apps are usually paid for with accounts, ads or subscriptions. SideList costs less than a coffee once — and then it just works, forever, with free updates.
What if it is not for me?
Apple’s standard App Store refund policy applies. If SideList is not the right fit, request a refund through Apple.
