Yes but do you have anything to remind me to check the checklist app?

Even better, some sort of checklist app aggregator app which goes through my various checklist apps that I forget to check? The same thing for note taking apps would be great too.

Jokes aside, congrats on launching your app

Serious question. I have a foster child with severe ADHD. How can I teach them to shut the hell up? It sometimes take 20 or 30 words to say something that can be said in maybe 4 words. When they ask questions they don’t wait for answers before saying other things. It’s like talking as an exercise to continuously hear your own voice like political talk radio but even less intelligible and all over the place. A continu…

Hey, that sounds rough, very rough. It's not his fault. It's not your fault either. Speaking from experience myself, it's not that he purposely wants to speak its just that he can't not talk. Like people in a wheelchair would like to stand and walk but can't, or only very short distances. I can recommend to great resources. One is a YouTube series by Russel Barkley [1] The other are the books and podcast by Dr Hallow…

Thank you.

Aww man, I've got an Android phone. Anyone know of any alternatives for Android? I'm currently using TickTick, but daily or activity based repeatable tasks isn't its focus. I was only able to get what I need because of its decently powerful filter.

Hi Guys, I'm Spencer and recently built CheckYourList to help with my ADHD. The app lets you create repeatable checklists. It's great for packing lists, daily routines, cleaning lists and things that you need to take with you constantly. The reason it is different to apps like Apple reminders is once you complete a checklist you can uncheck every item so it is ready to go next time. I built the app because I found my…

This looks amazing. I spent a lot of time searching for something exactly like this earlier this year, but eventually gave up. I set up a Shortcuts automation to do something similar: I have a few lists in Apple Reminders that I use as repeatable checklists, and every night the shortcut runs and just unchecks all the items. It works, and has really improved my life, but it has a few very annoying limitations. So I’m…

Sounds like you went through the same process I did as well :) I was surprised to find a lack of apps that have repeatable checklists.

I did something similar to you with google forms. I had a shortcut set up to launch a google form to go through. Smart idea with using a shortcut the uncheck the items!

Let me know how you go with the app :) Especially if it is missing anything you think you need.

I really like checklists. If you need convincing, read Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande. They let you focus on the decisions rather than remembering the steps.

That book was one of the things that started me looking for an app to let me make recurring checklists :) I still to do this day can't believe I finished a book on checklists!

Google Keep lets you make checklists and it's easy to uncheck everything on the list. I use it to make "leaving the house" lists etc.

A bit of a copy of http://doableapps.com isn't it?

Haven't seen it before, but it is quite different I think.

CheckYourList basically lets you create a list with multiple items in it, which when complete can be reset, ready to go through again.

doableapps is more fo a todo app if i'm not wrong?

Great analogy with the wheelchair!

Samsung Notes is perfect for this assuming you use a Samsung device.
