Listacular - Rapid lists, notes and to-do's with Dropbox sync

Listacular basics

Listacular is a powerful text-based list, to-do and note app. This app can help you speed up your list-making and note-taking processes.

You can optionally sync your Listacular files to Dropbox. Listacular supports various file formats including basic text (.txt), TaskPaper files (.taskpaper) and Markdown files (.md). To learn more about the various file formats, check out the File Format Help one screen back.

Basic editing actions:

Tap a line in a list to begin editing it.
Hit "return" while editing a list to create a new item below the one you're editing
Wrap text in stars or underscores to create italic, bold and bold-italic formatting
Super power: paste multi-line text from email/web/whatever into Listacular and it will create todo and note items
Super power: use speach-to-text by saying "newline" between each list item to separate thoughts

Moving and reordering items:

Tap and hold a list item to reorder it within a list
To move items from one list to another: switch to plaintext mode, select the text you want, cut or copy it, and paste it into the new list

Checking and deleting items:

Perform a short swipe right on a list item to check it
Perform a longer swipe to the right to delete an item
You can also tap a todo item's checkbox to mark it done

Setting due dates:

Swipe a todo to the left to set a due date
You can also set an alarm in this way

Working with files:

Tap and hold a file item to reorder it within a list
To move to a different folder, rename, or share: swipe a file item to the left
Pull down to refresh a file or folder

Plaintext list (.txt):

Plaintext is the simplest format.

# This is a header

- This is a todo
- This is a checked todo @done

* This is a bullet point

This item is *italic*, 
this one is **bold**, 
this one is ***bold-italic***

TaskPaper (.taskpaper):

TaskPaper uses the same format as Jesse Grosjean's TaskPaper for Mac

This is a header:
This is plain text
- This is a todo
- This is a completed todo @done
This is a @tag
