DC List

Going grocery shopping, for instance, requires you to have an organized list of things you need, or at least to keep them in your head. Functionality of lists doesn’t limit itself to such activities, and can even represent goals on the long run. Regardless of intentions, DC List is here to help build and keep track of your items.

To be able to install and run the application, you need to be sure that .NET Framework is already on your computer, even though modern Windows iterations come with it in the default feature set. You get the hang of things as soon as the window shows up, thanks to the simple, intuitive layout of elements.

Most of the space represents the actual list and fills up as you add items. Sadly, this isn’t done on the spot by editing each row, and you need to hit the “add” button, write the item of interest, and confirm, process which can take quite some time in case of large lists. However, there’s the possibility to load existing lists from TXT files.

Each item comes with its own checkbox so you can easily tick them off. A list is also fitted with a name. These aren’t temporary, because the application lets you save them as TXT files which, as mentioned, can be loaded later on. There isn’t a timestamp automatically added, but you can use a field in case the date is important.

Several filter options make it possible to keep either ticked, or unticked items in plain sight, expand and collapse main items, or uncheck all items on the list. There’s the possibility to insert new items before, after, or even inside existing items. You can organize the list in a tree mode with expandable items.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that DC List is a lightweight tool which is sure to come in handy for keeping organized lists, regardless of purpose. Although the feature set feels a little shallow, this simplicity and possibility to create tree lists provides enough flexibility and freedom.
