Whenever a user opens your app, you can use a “current hour” and a “current minute” block to read the time and then save it. You can then read the last time the user opened your app, and the time the user currently has your app open. You can then use an “if” block to see whether it has already passed 12:01. If the past time was before 12:01 and the current time is after 12:01, and if the list still has information saved to it, code the list to delete that info. If not, the information stays in the list. ---

What I have described accomplishes that exact goal. Code the app to do this: Look to see if the previous entry was before 12:01. If the current time is after 12:01, then clear the list. ---

I don’t understand. I thought you wanted your list to be deleted and start over at 12:01? ---
