Mnesia is an application that helps you remember important things and put a structure to your life or work. To quote Gerald Weinberg: "What you don’t know may not hurt you, but what you don’t remember always does." Mnesia lets you work with checklists in a structured way. First you design a master checklist in an easy way. An example could be a "Go Camping" checklist where you add each task you need to perform before you are ready to go camping. When you have designed the checklist you can start using it by just completing the tasks in the list. You can do this every time you go camping - the master remains. With Mnesia you can share checklists and collaborate on a shared checklist with your friends/family/colleagues/team mates. With Mnesia you will always have the checklist in your palm where you need them. Features: - Create check list master - Use check lists - Keep track on when a check list was used - Keep track on how much work that has been performed according to the check list - Share check list using iCloud
