CheckYourList lets you make repeatable checklists to help manage life’s challenges. You live in an overwhelming world, with new information constantly bombarded at you. 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. It’s great for packing lists, daily routines, cleaning lists and things that you need to take with you constantly. FEEL LESS FORGETFUL Always feeling like you've forgotten something? Feel organized and free up mental energy. Make repeating checklists so you don't forget your stuff. DON'T BE OVERWHELMED We live in an overwhelming world.

Stop wasting time backtracking and worrying if you have everything. CheckYourList and be confident whenever you leave the house. 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. Dropping him at daycare and then going to the gym, required so many things. I felt overwhelmed and would take ages to leave the house. I wanted a solution, so I built this app. Now I run through CheckYourList and am confident I have everything I need. SYNCS WITH ICLOUD Sync across your iOS and watchOS devices using apple iCloud.
