Simple tasks like remembering what to take when you leave the house often feel overwhelming. We need to offload this cognitive function and be confident we do and take everything we need. Traditional to-do list apps are overwhelming, they make it difficult to surface lists when you need them. Apps that focus on repeatable lists are often focused on streaks and habits. CheckYourList solves your problem. It lets you create lists via a simple interface that you can use spontaneously. You can check your items off and feel confident that you have everything. Once the list is complete or whenever you need to, uncheck the entire list so it is ready to go again.

BUILT TO HELP WITH ADHD Hi, I'm Spencer and I built this app to help with my ADHD. I found myself forgetting things more and more after the birth of my son.
