Build a checklist once. Check it off. Reset it. Run it again. DoRepeat is the recurring checklist app for morning routines, meeting prep, weekly chores, and anything you repeat. Unlike to-do apps, DoRepeat is built for lists you use over and over – not tasks you check off once. THE CHECKLIST APP FOR ANYTHING YOU DO ON REPEAT Life is full of things we do over and over. Morning routines. Packing for trips. Monthly bills. Meeting prep. Quality checks. That’s where DoRepeat comes in. It’s a checklist app built for the tasks you repeat, because some things are too important to leave to memory (or sticky notes that fall off your monitor). RECURRING LISTS, ZERO HASSLE Create checklists once, use them forever. Morning routine? Saved. Packing list for your weekend getaway? Saved. Monthly team meeting prep? You guessed it – saved. No more recreating the same list every time. Just check off your tasks, hit reset, and you’re ready to go again. CHECK OFF TASKS WITHOUT OPENING THE APP With home screen and lock screen widgets, you can tick off tasks without even opening the app. Because you’re busy and don’t have time for those extra taps. REMINDERS FOR LISTS AND TASKS When you need an extra nudge, you can set a reminder (or two, or ten) for any checklist or task. ICLOUD SYNC Start a checklist on your iPhone and complete it on your iPad. Your lists are everywhere you go.
