## What is Tilecheck?

Whatever you type becomes a color-coded board.

■ No input forms
You don't add items one by one through a form. Just type one item per line, like in a notes app.

  Wallet
  Phone
  Keys
  (blank line)
  Charger
  Earbuds

A blank line starts a new group with its own color. Groups have no names: the separator is a blank line, the difference is color. That's all.

■ See it as a board
Your text becomes a board of tiles instead of a long list. You see everything at once, so you never hunt for what's left. Choose 2 to 5 columns.

■ Tap to fill
Tap a tile when it's done and its color deepens, with a haptic tap so you know it registered without looking. Checks stay until you clear them, so the same board can be used again and again.
When everything is done, the bar above the board says "All set!". Tap it to clear the board for next time.

■ Duplicate to start fast
Swipe a list to the right to copy it. Your own weekend-trip list is a better starting point for a trip abroad than any template. Only the text is copied, not the checks.

■ Remembers when you last used it
When a board is complete, the date appears in the list, so you know when you last used it.

■ Back to plain text
Export any board as plain text. There's no special format, so you can paste it into mail, notes or chat. The person you send it to just pastes it into "Add list" to get the same board. Bulleted text from other apps works too.

■ Colors with one tap
10 color schemes; the arrows shift the hues a step at a time. Turn "Color" off to show everything in one color. Each list keeps its own colors. Every scheme is measured for readable contrast, and the app follows your text size setting, using fewer columns when text is large.

■ Read aloud, hands-free
Tap "Read" and your unchecked items are read one by one, over and over, until everything is done. Grab what you hear and tap its tile. Choose the pause and one of 5 voices.

■ Uses
• Packing for a trip
• Your everyday bag
• Shopping
• Tools before a job
• Locking up before you leave
• Checking an emergency kit

■ Your text stays on your device
Nothing you write leaves your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics. The only network use is the optional "Buy the developer a coffee" tip, handled by Apple's App Store. Tipping changes nothing in the app.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-24

New: Read aloud, for packing hands-free.
Tap "Read" below the board and Tilecheck reads your unchecked items one by one, then starts over from the top. Grab what you hear and tap its tile — no need to keep your eyes on the screen.

Set the pause from 0.3 to 5 seconds and pick one of 5 voices, including two that take turns.

The app version is now shown at the bottom of Settings.

Tilecheck now speaks 12 languages: English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Arabic.
