CheckLoop turns everything that repeats into reusable checklists you can run again and again — morning routines, onboarding steps, packing lists, maintenance checks, and editorial workflows. Build a template once, then reuse it any time. Organize your life and work with a clear hierarchy of Spaces, folders, lists, and elements. Group projects, departments, or life areas into spaces, structure them with folders, and break work down into items you check off, notes, and reminders so nothing is forgotten. Need a checklist fast? Let AI create a ready-to-use list or template from a short prompt, then fine-tune it your way. Invite family, friends, or your team into a shared space and manage tasks together. Everyone sees the same lists and progress, synced in real time across all devices. CheckLoop is fast and reliable, even on the go. Your data is stored locally on your device and synced through a modern cloud backend when you're online — so you can keep checking off tasks even with a weak connection. KEY FEATURES - Reusable checklists & templates: turn recurring processes into templates you reuse any time. - AI list creation: generate lists and templates from a simple prompt. - Powerful elements: checks, text, headlines, yes/no, dropdowns, input fields, images, conditional (if/else) logic you can nest into full decision trees, and more. - Nested templates: embed one template inside another for complex, repeatable workflows. - Collaborative spaces: share with family, friends, or teams and work from the same lists. - Share by link: send a checklist to anyone — they open it and check items off, no account needed. - PDF export (Pro): save any list as a clean PDF — with its images, current progress, your notes and a QR code back to the list — to print, file or send. - Real-time sync: changes appear on every device almost instantly. - Reminders & due dates: set due dates and personal reminders so nothing slips — they reach you even offline. - Progress tracking: see completion at a glance with progress bars. - Offline-first: lists are stored on your device and sync when you're back online. - Flexible structure: organize with spaces, folders, lists, elements, and per-list notes. - Cross-platform: works on iOS, Android, and the web. - Dark mode: follows your device, or pick light or dark yourself. - Privacy-minded: a modern, secure backend and protected sign-in.
