About

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.
