The app looks great and would be a daily lifesaver for me if it wasn't for the privacy policy. The policy reads quite generic and lacks a section for GDPR compliance, which is a huge red flag for me personally.

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.
Thanks, added feedback in an edit to my original comment before seeing this.
I'm heading offline soon, but if you drop me an email to help@checkyourlist.app I'm happy to build you a version with it disabled that is also fully unlocked.
Re: Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
#63This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much. I've recently discovered together with my psychologist that I am "suffering" of something along the lines of ADHD. This includes selective memory (only remember what I focus on remembering), missing social cues and feeling overwhelmed if I have to suddenly do something I did not expect. I've just started my journey in figuring out how I can live my best…
I find these tools work great until you "cave" and ignore it. Like I had a reminder app, worked great for 2 weeks until I ignored it one day. Then it became easy to ignore. I find this true for every brain hack I've found. It works until my brain realizes it doesn't need to listen. I don't want to use drugs for ADHD. Especially after seeing my uncle ruin his life over the course of a decade. Productive, excelled, dru…
I don't think you should take medical advice from an alcoholic.
It's unlikely that your uncle's life was ruined by ADHD medication.
I bet alcohol and other recreational drugs had more to do with it.

#64Hi 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…
I have feedback on the name of the app. Since it’s spelled without spaces, as “CheckYourList”, it doesn’t show up in search results when searching for “check your list”.
Great feedback! I'll add check your list to the apps keywords in the next update so it comes up in the future.

#65This could also be useful for packing lists. I often want to make sure that I packed everything for different scenarios, but without marking items as permanently done
That's the exact thing I use it for :)

A web app is definitely a possibility as it is something I can build, where as Android I'm starting from scratch.
Have you considered a PWA?
Yes. The reason I built an iOS app was it is the simplest way to get an app live, if the app gains traction I can definitely expand its availability in the future.
Problem with web apps is I often end up with decision fatigue over picking platforms ect. A native app I could just jump in and build.

Typing one-handed since I have my 4-day-old newborn napping in my arms now as her mom gets some rest.
Even before having her, I have found it difficult to find a balance between high level to do lists (missing details), and more detailed checklists (that are harder to manage).
Keeping the simple repeatable stuff separate should make it easier to offload that cognition from my brain so I can focus on the stuff I NEED to think about.
Looking forward to trying it out!

The privacy policy needs a lot of work which I hope to do soon. Everything in the app is through iCloud managed by Apple. I don't actually see or use any data at all, there is no sign up process, I don't capture email ect. Its akin to using Apple notes on your iPhone. If you delete your iCloud data it deletes all the data. I hope that helps in the meantime?

There are a number of habit apps I have seen that sort of fall into this niche. Some have checklists.
Please give any example! I have never found anything that specifically does repeatable checklists.
Same here. Been searching for such apps for years (Android phone) and still haven't found one app designed for people who use repeatable lists.
All the "best" apps I have tested are a complete mess when it comes to simply restarting a checklist you've completed already.
