How can we help?
Most answers are below. If yours isn't, write to us and Jarred will reply, usually within a day or two.
Your day
What happens to tasks I don’t finish?
When a new day begins, FadeList shows you yesterday’s unfinished tasks and asks whether you’d like to carry any into today. Choose the ones that still matter, or start fresh. Nothing rolls over on its own: fading is the default, and keeping is your choice.
How do I keep a task for another day?
Tap the bookmark on a task to move it to Saved for later, a quiet holding place for things that matter but aren’t for today. You can bring it back to today whenever you like.
Can I add several tasks at once?
Yes. Choose Paste a list and put one task on each line. Add a time to any line with a quick tag, such as /15m or /1h.
How do time estimates work?
Give a task 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or an hour, so you can see how full your day is. With FadeList+, the custom picker sets any length.

How do I plan ahead?
Open Plan Ahead from the toolbar, or from Build your list in the morning. Pick a day and add what you want to do then. When that morning comes, those tasks are waiting for you.
How do I make a task repeat?
Tap the repeat icon on a task and choose the days it comes back, such as every day or Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Repeating tasks appear on their days without filling up your list in between.
What is Build your list?
The new morning flow. It gathers what you planned, offers yesterday’s unfinished tasks, and lets you add more before you tap Start my day.
Devices and sync
Does FadeList sync between my devices?
Yes, through iCloud, across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple ID on each. Changes usually arrive within a few seconds.
My tasks aren’t syncing. What can I try?
Check that iCloud is on for FadeList in Settings, then close and reopen the app on both devices. A slow or paused network connection can delay sync. If it still doesn’t catch up, write to us with the devices and iOS or macOS versions you’re using.
How do I add the widget?
Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget, and search for FadeList. You can check tasks off right from the widget. The widget is part of FadeList+.
How do I change the theme or app icon?
Open the toolbar and tap Theme. There are six: Sage, Stone, Ocean, Clay, Dusk and Midnight. With FadeList+, your app icon can match.
FadeList+ and purchases
I bought FadeList+ but it isn’t showing.
Open FadeList+ in the app and tap Restore Purchases, signed in with the Apple ID you used to buy it.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
Purchases go through Apple. To cancel, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then Subscriptions. For a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

Still need a hand?
Email Jarred directly. It helps to include your device, its iOS or macOS version, and what you were trying to do.
