CheckList is a versatile app for creating all kinds of lists. Plan your shopping, pack for trips, organize household chores, work tasks, ideas, celebrations, recipes, pantry supplies, renovations, moving, and much more. Create your own lists from scratch or use the ready-made online catalog with 1000+ items, conveniently organized into categories. Add items in seconds by typing just the first few letters or using smart voice input, import lists from photos and the clipboard, rearrange them with simple drag and drop, set reminders, and mark items as completed with a double tap. Keep everything important in one place and reuse lists from your history. Build your own catalog, add items one by one or all at once, organize them into categories, and label them with colors. Customize the app to match your needs by choosing patterns and interface colors, and changing the app icon. Simplicity and ease of use are at the core of CheckList’s design. Almost every action can be performed with simple gestures, taps, and swipes, without complicated menus or unnecessary confirmations.

Day after day, I watched her go through the same routine until one day I decided to find her an app with a ready-made catalog where she could create lists on the fly just by typing the first few letters and quickly check off purchases right there in the supermarket. But that turned out to be harder than I expected, as the apps I found felt inconvenient and poorly designed, and their ready-made catalogs were either missing or too limited and impractical. So I decided to build my own app without those shortcomings. After a lot of hard work, the result was CheckList, a lightweight, easy-to-use, and thoughtfully designed checklist app with a catalog for groceries and everyday shopping. But then my wife surprised me again. As we were getting ready for another trip, I found her making a packing list... and once again, she was doing it in Notes. And you can probably guess what happened next... -- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
