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. It's easy to forget things when leaving the house. CheckYourList is a simple app, designed to make you organized. REMEMBER YOUR STUFF Tired of turning up at the gym without your headphones? Forgot your lunch? Turned up at daycare but forgot your baby? STOP WASTING TIME Create repeatable checklists when you need to remember things every day. 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. All your lists are automatically backed up to your iCloud account and will sync on any new device you log into. SHORTCUTS INTEGRATION Integrates with Apple Shortcuts. DAILY REMINDERS Set a daily reminder for each checklist that will remind you at a specific time each day. WIDGETS Add a home screen or lock screen widget to get a quick overview of how many items are left on your checklist, as well as a quick way to open the checklist. Try out the app with two checklists for free. Unlock the full version to get more than two checklists.

About

Read full description

A to-do list is finished when it is empty. A packing list never is — next time you need exactly the same one again. Häkchen is built for the second kind: tick things off, head out, and next time one tap puts every tick back to zero. The list stays, only the ticks go. WHAT FOR • The pool, the gym, the sauna • A weekend away, a holiday, a city trip • Dog bag, changing bag, sports bag • Moving house, a building site, the garden • Anything you do more than once TICKING THAT FEELS RIGHT The tick is drawn rather than switched on, and the strikethrough travels with it. The last open item answers differently from every item before it. And when you reset, the ticks fall away from the top down — half a second that feels like tidying up. LISTS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES Type a topic — "a weekend in the mountains" — and your iPhone suggests a list. That happens with Apple's model right on the device: nothing is sent, nothing lands on a server. Anything that does not fit gets swiped away before the list even exists. (Requires Apple Intelligence.) YOUR LISTS STAY YOURS • Import from any text — copy a list out of Notion, Notes, a message • Preview before importing: you see what you get before you get it • Export as a file and as Markdown, back to wherever you came from • Back up every list in a single file WHAT HÄKCHEN DOES NOT DO No reminders, no notifications, no points, no streaks, no account. Häkchen never speaks first. Ticking things off is the reward. PRIVACY Everything lives on your device. No tracking, no advertising identifiers, no analytics, no sharing. In normal use the app opens no network connection at all.
