Discover 10,000+ ideas for your bucket list, from everyday adventures to lifelong dreams. Check Marks helps you find something worth doing and enjoy the satisfaction of checking it off. Explore ready-made challenges, create your own lists, and turn more of your "someday" plans into experiences. READY-MADE IDEAS, NOT A BLANK PAGE Get inspired by 156 challenges across 12 categories. Find books to read, movies to watch, dishes to try, places to explore, creative hobbies, date ideas, outdoor adventures, and small ways to make everyday life more interesting. Plan a screen-free evening, try a new cooking technique, explore somewhere close to home, or start a family tradition. Your bucket list doesn't have to begin with a trip around the world. Browse by category or mood, or search for a challenge or an individual idea. Pick something that speaks to you and take the first step. LET SURPRISE ME PICK YOUR NEXT IDEA Not sure where to start? Tap Surprise Me to discover a Check Mark you might not have thought of. A new hobby, a small adventure, or something just for fun: inspiration can start with one tap. MAKE YOUR LISTS YOUR OWN Create Custom Lists for your personal goals, travel plans, reading list, or everyday projects. Add your own Check Marks and keep the things you want to do together in one place. Use a ready-made challenge when you need inspiration, or build a list around what matters to you. FIND YOUR 1,000 Take on a personal goal: complete 1,000 Check Marks. Start with one, then build your collection of things you've tried, learned, discovered, and experienced. See your progress, revisit completed Check Marks in My Achievements, and pick up where you left off in My Lists. Share a Check Mark as an image to celebrate a win or inspire someone else. BUILD HABITS ALONG THE WAY Some goals are things you do once. Others are things you want to keep doing. Create habit Trackers, choose a daily schedule or specific days of the week, and set reminders to help you keep going. Read a little more, make time for creativity, or build a routine that supports your bigger goals. GO FURTHER WITH CHECK MARKS PRO Start with free access and upgrade to PRO for the full library of 10,000+ ideas, unlimited Custom Lists and Check Marks within them, unlimited habit Trackers, and unlimited Surprise Me picks.

Everything we want to do and everything we love, saved together. A restaurant someone sent you. A film for a quiet night. A song that reminds you of a trip. OurLater gives those little ideas a home you can come back to together. START WITH YOUR IDEAS Save a link, add your own photo, or write a quick note. Add a title, choose a category, and keep optional details together on one page. Keep related links together in one save. MAKE IT YOURS, THEN OURS Start saving on your own and invite your partner when you are ready. Pairing shares both collections, including existing saves. You can both see, edit and delete the ideas in your shared space. FIND SOMETHING FOR LATER Browse recent saves and six categories: Places & Food, Travel, Movies & TV, Music, Activities and Other. Search titles and notes, filter your collection, and like ideas you want to come back to. Mark things watched, visited or tried. KEEP THE LITTLE DETAILS Add photos, notes and optional reminders for yourself or both of you. Choose light, dark or your phone's appearance. SAVE WHEN YOU ARE OFFLINE After signing in and preparing your collection online, view cached ideas and save new text, links and photos on your phone. Pending saves sync when you reconnect. Editing existing synced ideas and loading uncached media require a connection. ABOUT LINKS Use the system share menu where supported, paste a link, or add an idea manually. Artwork and details depend on what each source makes available. A missing preview does not stop you saving the link. Open the original app or website to view its content; separate accounts or subscriptions may be needed there. Sign in with Google, Apple on iPhone, or a code sent to your email. You can stop sharing or request permanent account deletion from the app. OurLater is an independent app and is not affiliated with the services you save links from. OPTIONAL OURLATER PLUS One automatically renewing weekly, monthly or yearly plan covers you and your currently paired partner. Plus adds Our Story monthly timelines and 2 GB of photo storage per person, with up to five photos per idea. Store prices and billing periods are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel in your App Store account.
