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 unlimited smart lists, repeating lists, reminders, iCloud sync, widgets, the Apple Watch app and your own templates. 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. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://usechecklist.app/privacy

About

Move Planner by PackQR

Read full description

Moving is easier when you know what matters now. Move Planner by PackQR creates a practical, date-aware checklist for the whole move—from early preparation and packing to moving day and the first weeks in your new home. SET THE CERTAINTY YOU HAVE Choose a confirmed date, tentative date, target week or “No date yet”. Your plan adapts without forcing decisions before you are ready. FOCUS ON TODAY See three useful actions at a time, review what is coming up and mark progress without being overwhelmed by the full checklist. ADAPT WHEN PLANS CHANGE Move the date and the timeline recalculates. Dates you selected manually are protected and shown for review before anything changes. MAKE THE PLAN YOURS Add your own tasks, choose due dates, search and filter the full plan, and use manual ordering when your priorities differ. CALM REMINDERS Choose daily or weekly briefings, reminder times and quiet periods. Notifications are optional and scheduled on your device. READY FOR MOVING DAY Use the Move Day view and Live Activity to keep essential actions close while the move is under way. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Your plan is stored locally on your device. No Move Planner account is required. Create plain or passphrase-protected encrypted manual backups and save them wherever you choose. OPTIONAL PACKQR CONNECTION If you also use PackQR, both apps can opt in to share a small on-device packing summary. Move Planner can show packing progress, Open First counts, room-level totals and the latest PackQR backup date, and can open the relevant packing action when needed. You can check the latest summary from Move Planner without automatically switching apps. The connection remains deliberately limited. Item names, photos, notes, QR contents, backup contents, estimated replacement values and valuation totals are not shared with Move Planner. Sensitive-box contents also remain in PackQR. Each app works independently. Guidance is practical and region-aware, but requirements vary. Check official sources and your own providers before making legal, financial, utility or contractual decisions.
