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? A "Try Me List" shows what a tap, a swipe or a hold does SHARE IN A TAP • Send any checklist to a friend as a link • They add it straight to their own library, no account needed • Great for trips, events and households CHECKLIST PRO One purchase, yours for good, shared with up to six people through Family Sharing: • Collaborate live: check off one list together and everyone sees every tap • iCloud Sync: the same library on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, through your own iCloud • Daily To-Do: a list for today whose unfinished items roll over on their own • Quick Add: type or dictate "add bread, butter and cucumber to groceries" and it lands in the right list • Reminders: add any item to your Calendar or to the Reminders app • Print or export any list New to Checklist? Try every Pro feature free for 7 days. It ends on its own: no charge, nothing to cancel, and your lists stay yours. ON iPHONE, iPAD AND MAC • Designed for the iPad's larger screen and runs on Apple silicon Macs • Put Checklist on the Action Button for one-press access PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account. No sign-up. Nothing to forget. • Works fully offline: pack on the plane, shop in the basement • Your lists stay on your device. Pro sync travels through your own iCloud, never a server of ours Want a head start?

About

Check It

Read full description

Check It: Reusable Checklists is a tiny, privacy-first app for saved steps you can run again. Create repeatable lists, add ordered steps with optional notes, check off a list in the moment, and reset it when you need to run it again. Free users can save up to five lists. Check It Plus unlocks unlimited saved lists. Keep a password-protected copy of your lists with encrypted backup and restore through Files—available in Free. Choose where to keep the file, remember its password, and restore it when you need it. Restoring replaces the device's current lists after confirmation; it does not merge them or restore purchases. Check It is local-first: no account, no ads, no analytics, and no checklist-data backend. There is no automatic cloud sync. A backup kept only on the same phone does not protect against losing that phone. Check It Plus offers monthly and yearly subscriptions for unlimited saved lists. Existing Lifetime customers keep their verified purchase and restore rights; Lifetime is not offered to new customers. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
