ChecklistApp
Read full descriptionHide 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 — packing, camera bag, pre-flight, closing up the shop, groceries — and nothing else: • Tap + to create a list, then type its items. They keep the order you give them. • Run it: check things off as you go. Tap ↺ to reset for the next round. Nothing is ever lost. • 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. • Drag to reorder, swipe to delete, tap a name to rename. Free for two checklists. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited lists — no subscription, no account. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No due dates, reminders, folders, or AI. Your lists never leave your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orc Mode at none against ChecklistApp's 1. Orc Mode also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
