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. Share checklist as PDF. 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.

Get the most out of your vacation days: Day-Off Planner knows the public holidays of your region, and school holidays where they are published, and shows you which days to take off to turn them into the longest possible breaks. AS EASY AS IT GETS 1. Pick your country and region 2. Tap the days you work (part time, 4-day week, Saturdays or rotating shifts too) 3. Enter your vacation days, done Choose from three plans: • Often, short: many long weekends across the year • Big trip + bridges: one long break (10, 14 or 21 days, your choice), the rest as bridge days • Long trips: every break at least nine days in a row Each plan shows how many days off you get and what each day you take is worth. THOUGHT THROUGH • Public holidays for more than 30 countries, in Germany down to local holidays • School holidays for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and more, where published • Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve as half or whole days off • Leftover days from last year are planned before March 31 • Special days from your employer, flextime and overtime • Vacation you already booked and company closures are respected • Turn off single holidays that do not apply to you • Off together: plan for two, even with different regions, countries and work days • Live and work in different regions: public holidays from work, school holidays from home • Shift work and rotating weeks: up to four weeks in a cycle • Time off only during school holidays, or outside them when travel is cheaper, for two separately for each person • For teachers: school holidays are days off, with duty days at the end of the summer break • Adjust suggestions: reject a break or block days, the plan recalculates • Fixed dates like birthdays or anniversaries, every year: take off, already off or blocked, all in one overview • Plan up to two years ahead, with a note when a country has no data yet DAY-OFF PLANNER PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION) Free: the complete “Big trip + bridges” plan with calendar, A4 print, sharing, backup and nearly all settings. Pro adds the two other plans, Off together, “Avoid school holidays”, the year plan as an A3 poster, the calendar file, and widgets and watch. WIDGETS AND WATCH (WITH PRO) • Widgets in several sizes: “Next block off”, depending on the device also on the lock screen and with request deadline, vacation left, next holiday and month • Watch: next block off, request deadline, vacation left and next holiday; mark “Requested” or reject a block. Plus complications for the watch face and, where available, a tile • The watch gets its data only from the paired phone, without internet and without the names of your dates SHARE AND TAKE ALONG • Year plan as a one-page A4 PDF to print or share with your team, with Pro also as an A3 poster • Share your plan as text or as an image, for your leave request or a messenger • Add all breaks to your calendar in one tap, with a reminder to request your time off early • Optional reminders when to request your time off and on the evening before a break. Local only, no server • Backup as a file: save all your years and settings and restore them on a new device YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your entries stay on your device and are included in the backup of your device, which you manage yourself. Where your device offers it, the app also syncs your plans, settings and the names of your dates with the cloud storage of the account signed in on this device, so they come back after a reinstall or on a second device; that is your own storage, and we receive nothing from it. For holidays the app only sends country, region and year to the OpenHolidays API; the service technically sees your IP address. Holidays and school holidays: OpenHolidays API (ODbL). No guarantee; when in doubt, check your employment contract.
