CheckLoop turns everything that repeats into reusable checklists you can run again and again — morning routines, onboarding steps, packing lists, maintenance checks, and editorial workflows. Build a template once, then reuse it any time. Organize your life and work with a clear hierarchy of Spaces, folders, lists, and elements. Group projects, departments, or life areas into spaces, structure them with folders, and break work down into items you check off, notes, and reminders so nothing is forgotten. Need a checklist fast? Let AI create a ready-to-use list or template from a short prompt, then fine-tune it your way. Invite family, friends, or your team into a shared space and manage tasks together. Everyone sees the same lists and progress, synced in real time across all devices. CheckLoop is fast and reliable, even on the go. Your data is stored locally on your device and synced through a modern cloud backend when you're online — so you can keep checking off tasks even with a weak connection. KEY FEATURES - Reusable checklists & templates: turn recurring processes into templates you reuse any time. - AI list creation: generate lists and templates from a simple prompt. - Powerful elements: checks, text, headlines, yes/no, dropdowns, input fields, images, conditional (if/else) logic you can nest into full decision trees, and more. - Nested templates: embed one template inside another for complex, repeatable workflows. - Collaborative spaces: share with family, friends, or teams and work from the same lists. - Share by link: send a checklist to anyone — they open it and check items off, no account needed. - PDF export (Pro): save any list as a clean PDF — with its images, current progress, your notes and a QR code back to the list — to print, file or send. - Real-time sync: changes appear on every device almost instantly. - Reminders & due dates: set due dates and personal reminders so nothing slips — they reach you even offline. - Progress tracking: see completion at a glance with progress bars. - Offline-first: lists are stored on your device and sync when you're back online. - Flexible structure: organize with spaces, folders, lists, elements, and per-list notes. - Cross-platform: works on iOS, Android, and the web. - Dark mode: follows your device, or pick light or dark yourself. - Privacy-minded: a modern, secure backend and protected sign-in. Whether you're standardizing team workflows or keeping everyday life under control, CheckLoop helps you build routines you can rely on.

The same trip. The same gym bag. The same grocery run. Why rewrite the list every time? Checklist: Reusable Lists is built around one idea: make a checklist once and reuse it forever. Build the list, start a fresh run whenever you need it, and check it off. The original never changes. REUSABLE BY DESIGN • Build a checklist once: packing, groceries, gym, camping, chores, a go-bag • Start a clean run any time and tick items off with a satisfying tap • Your checklist stays pristine, ready for next time • Full history: see when each run was started and completed MAKE IT YOURS, FAST • Paste a whole list and every line becomes an item. On devices with Apple Intelligence, headings and quantities are read on your device, never sent anywhere • Group items into sections, add quantities ("chargers ×2") and put a note under any item • A new list saves as you type, so nothing is lost if you leave before tapping Save • Swipe an item right for a reminder or a note; swipe left to delete it • Pin the lists you use most, reorder with a touch and hold, and give every list its own icon and color • Search finds lists by name and by what is inside them ONE-OFF LISTS TOO • Need a single, one-time list? Make a one-off and check it off in place • Reusable checklists and one-off lists live together in one simple library • New here? A "Try Me List" shows what a tap, a swipe or a hold does SHARE IN A TAP • Send any checklist to a friend as a link • They add it straight to their own library, no account needed • Great for trips, events and households CHECKLIST PRO One purchase, yours for good, shared with up to six people through Family Sharing: • Collaborate live: check off one list together and everyone sees every tap • iCloud Sync: the same library on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, through your own iCloud • Daily To-Do: a list for today whose unfinished items roll over on their own • Quick Add: type or dictate "add bread, butter and cucumber to groceries" and it lands in the right list • Reminders: add any item to your Calendar or to the Reminders app • Print or export any list New to Checklist?
