Smarter lists you'll use again and again. Checklist is for the lists you come back to: packing, groceries, morning routines, cleaning, moving day. Make a list once, tick it off, and it's ready for next time. LISTS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES • Describe it: "a weekend camping trip with the kids", and Apple Intelligence writes the list right on your device (on devices that support it). • Paste it: a list from Notes, a message or an email. Bullets, numbers and checkboxes are tidied away. • Snap it: take a photo of a handwritten or printed list, and Checklist types it out for you. TICK, TICK, DONE • A little confetti for every tick. • Ticked items step aside, so you always see what's left. • Drag to reorder, swipe to delete, and tap Uncheck all to start again. LISTS THAT RESET THEMSELVES Morning routines, gym bags, weekly chores: set a list to repeat daily or weekly, and it unchecks itself, ready for next time. REMINDERS THAT KNOW YOU'RE DONE A nudge at the right time, and none once everything's checked. 40+ TEMPLATES Weekend trips, groceries, a hospital bag, moving house, weddings, back to school, the holidays and more. You can save your own lists as templates too. WITH YOU EVERYWHERE • Tick items off from a widget on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. • Tick items off on your Apple Watch, and dictate new ones. • Add items with Siri, and find any list in Spotlight. • Keep your lists in sync with iCloud on iPhone, iPad and Mac. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Your lists stay on your device, or in your private iCloud if you turn on sync. Describe and Scan run on your device too, so the developer never sees your lists. CHECKLIST PRO Checklist is free to download. Checklist Pro unlocks Focus mode, sharing your lists, workouts, unlimited smart lists, iCloud sync, widgets, the Apple Watch app and your own templates. Repeating lists and reminders are free for everyone. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
