The same trip. The same gym bag. The same grocery run. Why rewrite the list every time? Checklist: Reusable Lists is built around one idea: make a checklist once and reuse it forever. Build the list, start a fresh run whenever you need it, and check it off. The original never changes. REUSABLE BY DESIGN • Build a checklist once: packing, groceries, gym, camping, chores, a go-bag • Start a clean run any time and tick items off with a satisfying tap • Your checklist stays pristine, ready for next time • Full history: see when each run was started and completed MAKE IT YOURS, FAST • Paste a whole list and every line becomes an item. On devices with Apple Intelligence, headings and quantities are read on your device, never sent anywhere • Group items into sections, add quantities ("chargers ×2") and put a note under any item • A new list saves as you type, so nothing is lost if you leave before tapping Save • Swipe an item right for a reminder or a note; swipe left to delete it • Pin the lists you use most, reorder with a touch and hold, and give every list its own icon and color • Search finds lists by name and by what is inside them ONE-OFF LISTS TOO • Need a single, one-time list? Make a one-off and check it off in place • Reusable checklists and one-off lists live together in one simple library • New here? A "Try Me List" shows what a tap, a swipe or a hold does SHARE IN A TAP • Send any checklist to a friend as a link • They add it straight to their own library, no account needed • Great for trips, events and households CHECKLIST PRO One purchase, yours for good, shared with up to six people through Family Sharing: • Collaborate live: check off one list together and everyone sees every tap • iCloud Sync: the same library on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, through your own iCloud • Daily To-Do: a list for today whose unfinished items roll over on their own • Quick Add: type or dictate "add bread, butter and cucumber to groceries" and it lands in the right list • Reminders: add any item to your Calendar or to the Reminders app • Print or export any list New to Checklist?
