Check It Again is a dead simple checklist app for the things you do over and over. Pack your bag. Prep for a meeting. Run your weekly review. Check everything off. Do it all again next time. That's it. That's the app. No AI. No subscription. No "premium features." No tracking what you check off or selling that data to anyone. No account to create. No onboarding flow. No push notifications asking you to "stay on track." No gamification. No streaks. No badges. No syncing your grocery list to a server farm in another country so an algorithm can learn your shopping habits. Just a list. With checkboxes. That you can use again. Check Again syncs privately across all your Apple devices via iCloud — your data stays yours, on your devices, period. If you've ever downloaded a checklist app and thought "why is this so complicated?" — this one's for you. Made with love in Westfield, Massachusetts (by just one guy).

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?
