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…

Any push for an Android version?

Not currently in the works. Once I'm happy the iOS app is bug free and where I want it to be I will potential build one.

Very nice app! I had just started working on my own implementation of a similar app, so I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore! One thing I notice is that when using VoiceOver to read out elements on the screen, there don't seem to be any labels on routine items, so a screen reader user wouldn't know what was on their checklist, and the labels on the big blue + icons in the lower right don't say what they do.

Accessibility is something I am currently working on. Should be 100% soon :)

Did you send the email to help@checkyourlist.app?

99.9% sure that I did, but I had to transcribe the address by hand since I couldn't long-press to copy it like I expected. Tapping the email address in the app opens Mail.app, which I've never bothered to set up in 6 years of iphone usage.

Amazingly in SwiftUI there still is no way to open a different email app without writing a lot of code as a workaround. I'll see if I can change it to be long-pressable in the meantime.

A lot of this app was written with one hand while holding a baby :) I never realised how overwhelmed I was by my todo app until I pulled my checklists into this app, I've found it definitely helped. Let me know how you go :)

Quick feedback: this is an interface paradigm that I haven't thought of before (and haven't stumbled upon, if it exists in other apps). Immediately recognized how useful it is and I've already set up a few checklists. And the UI itself is simple and to the point without any BS (probably because you're independent and don't need to hit OKRs), and matches iOS so it was easy to jump into and get started. Thanks and plea…

Thanks for your kind words :)

Hey there Spencer,

This was a really nice looking app and hit the spot for my ADHD brain!

Nice with no recurring payment! Consider me a customer.

Hi! Thanks for letting me know you are having a problem. I'm unable to replicate any problems with dark mode in some tests I am doing. Can you let me know what device you are using and where the text is?

My device is an iPhone 6S Plus. I’m on iOS 14.4.2. I see “white on white” text in my first text entry box to create a new checklist, and also when viewing the items inside a checklist. The items in a checklist become visible as white text upon gray background only after I mark those items “completed” (ie strikethrough). Thanks again!

I've been able to replicate the issue now, basically, if you have dark mode on and increased contrast on under "Accessibility" > "display and text size" you end up with white text on white backgrounds. A temporary fix would be disabling increased contrast.

I'm going to be making an update now that will allow the app to support increased contrast. It will be live as soon as Apple approve it. Spencer

I’m having the same problem. Latest iOS, iPhone 11pro, dark mode, and white text on white background in the little white bubble right above the keyboard to enter a list name or a list item. Also, the list items themselves are white on white.

Not sure if thats the place to report bugs, but the app is unusable for me - the lists shows white text on white background. All input boxes do not show the text as well (due to same fg/bg colors). Is it because I use dark mode?

Hi :)

I had quite a few reports of this issue. Dark mode on it's own works, however if you also have Increase Contrast (Under accessibility > Display & Text size on as well it causes this issue. I just submitted an update to Apple 30 minutes ago that will fix this issue once they approve it (Usually within around 12 hours or so) :)
