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. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

Packing should be simple. List N’ Pack lets you build your lists once and reuse them forever. Create categories for the kinds of trips you take and keep your go-to items organized in one clean place. When it’s time to pack, just tap the categories you need and everything drops into your list instantly. Then check items off as you go. No rewriting. No second-guessing. No forgotten essentials. The interface is intentionally simple. Categories are fully customizable. Checking things off keeps everything clear and stress free. Whether it’s a quick weekend trip, a long vacation, or a wedding you’ve been planning for months, the items you always bring are already there waiting. List N’ Pack also works great as a todo list. Use it for errands, moving checklists, event prep, or anything you want to set up once and reuse again later. Stay organized. Save time. Never forget the important stuff again. Every trip, I used to open a new note on my phone and start from scratch. Charger. Wallet. Toiletries. Razor. The same list every time. For special events like weddings, I added the same items over and over. And somehow I still forgot things like a belt or dress socks. So I built an app that fixes that problem once and for all.
