About

ChecklistApp

Features
Read full description

A checklist is not a to-do list. Nothing here gets done and disappears: a checklist is the same list every time, and you run it again and again. ChecklistApp keeps your recurring lists β€” packing, camera bag, pre-flight, closing up the shop, groceries β€” and nothing else: β€’ Tap + to create a list, then type its items. They keep the order you give them. β€’ Run it: check things off as you go. Tap β†Ί to reset for the next round. Nothing is ever lost. β€’ Some lists have optional items. Flip the switch and every row gets a pass button for things you skip this round; Reset then floats what you checked to the top, in the order you checked it, so the list settles into the order you actually work through it. β€’ Drag to reorder, swipe to delete, tap a name to rename. Free for two checklists. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited lists β€” no subscription, no account. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No due dates, reminders, folders, or AI. Your lists never leave your phone.
