Create any checklist in 10 seconds. Then actually get it done. Planning a trip? Moving? Prepping for a wedding? Instead of building lists from scratch, describe your goal and get a complete, organized checklist instantly. But Listwise doesn't stop at generating lists. It keeps them alive: reminders, recurring schedules, sharing, and PDF export, all in one calm place. TWO WAYS TO CREATE Quick Mode: Type a goal like "pack for a week in Tokyo" and get a detailed checklist in seconds. Guided Mode: Answer a few smart questions (destination, climate, trip length) and get a checklist tailored to your exact situation. The app asks, so you don't forget. You can also create checklists manually or start from the curated template library. Either way, you're organized in under a minute. LISTS THAT STAY ALIVE - Reminders for any list or item, so you never forget what's left - Recurring checklists for weekly groceries, monthly reviews, daily routines - Sections, sub-items, and a progress ring that fills as you check things off - Tags, search, and filters across all your lists - Hide completed items to focus on what's next SHARE AND EXPORT Share any checklist via link. No account required for collaborators. Perfect for trip planning with friends or grocery lists with family. Export any checklist as a clean, formatted PDF: print your packing list, email your meeting agenda. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No ads. No tracking. Your lists are yours. Listwise is built privacy-first, the way a personal tool should be. TEMPLATES FOR EVERY SITUATION Travel packing, moving, grocery shopping, wedding planning, meeting agendas, exercise routines, study plans, product launches. Every template is fully editable. FEATURES AT A GLANCE - Instant checklist generation (Quick and Guided modes) - Manual creation + template library - Reminders and recurring schedules - Sections, sub-items, progress tracking - Tags, search, filters - Share via link, no account needed - Export as PDF - Works offline - No account, no ads, no tracking SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS: - Weekly subscription: $2.99 - Monthly subscription: $9.99 - Annual subscription: $69.99 Privacy Policy: https://lukayn.com/en/privacy Terms of Use: https://lukayn.com/en/terms
