NeuraTiM Checklist
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make a checklist for packing, chores, or the trip ahead, then reuse it whenever you need it. Free to use, with offline checklists and no account to create. Start with a ready-made template, paste a list, or create a quick checklist. Choose the approach that suits youβthere's no need to build everything item by item. Reusable templates Add photos, notes, tags, and required, optional, or conditional items. Create a template once, then start a fresh checklist whenever you need it. In progress and history Leave a checklist unfinished and pick it up later. It stays in progress until you finish or delete it. Finished checklists move to history. Flexible reminders Get a reminder to start a checklist or finish one in progress. Repeat daily, weekly, monthly, on weekdays, on selected days, or at intervals of days or weeksβor set a one-off reminder. Search and tags Filter templates by tag and find checklists by name. Less scrolling, even as your collection grows. Conditional items Make an item required only when it matters: the charger, for example, when you're taking the laptop. Combine rules with AND and OR; they update as you check things off. Either/or choices Need a tent or a hammock? Set alternatives so checking one meets the requirement. Keep essentials covered without ticking every option. Core checklists work offline with no account or analytics. Optional feedback needs internet; dictation may use online speech processing. Every feature is free. You can support the NeuraTiM project once or monthly; support unlocks nothing.
