HiTo - Hierarchical ToDo

Yay, my second iPhone-App was accepted at the App Store.

Now, what is HiTo?

It’s a hierarchical ToDo-Application where you can not only create a flat list of todo-items but each and every todo-item can have serveral sub-todos.

And for each and every todo-item you have the following attributes:

- Title

- Note

- Priority (1 - 5)

- Deadline (Can be turned off)

- Done

 

When a todo-item is marked as done it appears in the list with a checkmark-icon and if a top-level todo is marked done it will not be counted when setting the badge-number for the app. So the badge number always tells you how many todo-items are yet to be done, not how many you have.

Also notable is the deadline-function:

When you turn the deadline on for  a todo-item and it’s in the past the deadline will be written in red color. Also in the list this todo-item will be written in red color and every todo item in higher up in this hierarchy trail. So you see at first glance whether there is a todo not done yet and past deadline.

When a deadline will come in the next x days (default 5, can be changed in the settings) the deadline will be written in orange color and the todo-item and every parent todo-item will be also written in orange color in the list.

See the screenshots in the App Store.

One important thing:

This App was done in first place for a friend of mine and for myself. Because I thought other people might find that usefull also I uploaded it to the App Store. But be aware: I do not make any promises as to how often I’ll update this app or whether I’ll add feature requests. That does not mean I won’t do anything at all, but most probably it simply wouldn’t be too much.

Just to keep your expectations low.
