About

DoChecklist

Features
Read full description

DoChecklist is a clean, focused checklist app for routines you want to complete the same way every time. Create checklists for everyday tasks, recurring workflows and procedures, travel, home projects, hobby routines, equipment setup, study plans, packing lists, cleaning schedules, inspections, and anything else where missing a step can slow you down. DoChecklist keeps the experience simple: open a checklist, go through the items, and clearly see what is done. Build checklists that match how you work. Add folders to organize related checklists, add sections inside a checklist, and group items by topic or stage. A travel folder might include Packing, Documents, Home Before Leaving, and Return Checklist. A home folder might include Weekly Cleaning, Plant Care, Garage Tasks, and Maintenance Checks. A work folder might include Meeting Prep, Publishing Steps, QA Review, or Client On-boarding. Some routines need flexibility. Others need a strict order, for example Aviation Checklist. DoChecklist supports both. For flexible lists, you can check items in any order. This is useful for shopping, packing, chores, errands, and project notes. For ordered checklists, items must be completed step by step. This is useful for setup routines, review processes, maintenance flows, and repeatable procedures where the sequence matters. You can also set a checklist to reset when opened, making it ready for routines you repeat often. Use it for daily startup tasks, weekly reviews, recurring household jobs, or any checklist you want to begin fresh each time. When you need to start over manually, you can clear checks from an individual checklist or clear a full folder of related checklists. DoChecklist is designed for iPhone and iPad with a native Apple-style interface that stays out of the way. Your lists are easy to edit, easy to check off, and easy to organize. The free version includes one checklist. Upgrade to DoChecklist Pro with a single lifetime purchase to create more checklists and use iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad. Pro also supports continued independent development of the app. Features: - Create focused checklists for repeatable routines - Organize checklists into folders and subfolders - Add sections inside checklists - Choose ordered or free-form checking - Reset selected checklists when opened - Clear completed checks when you want a fresh start - Reorder folders, checklists, sections, and items - See completed checklists at a glance - Use DoChecklist on iPhone and iPad - Upgrade once for lifetime Pro access to all features - Sync with iCloud - Share checklists with other DoChecklist users. - No subscription - No ads - Privacy focused, no tracking DoChecklist is useful for: - Travel packing and pre-trip preparation - Weekly cleaning and home routines - Project launch steps - Study and exam preparation - Meeting and presentation prep - Equipment setup and teardown - Hobby workflows - Maintenance reminders - Personal routines - Recurring work processes - Shopping and errands - Moving checklists - Event planning - QA and review steps - Aviation flight checklists DoChecklist helps turn repeated tasks into clear, reusable workflows.
