What is the reason it requires iOS 14.1 or later? I run an old version for iOS and would love this. I make repeatable checklists for everything and I feel like this could really help me out.

#162Aww 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.
I use https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits with multiple widgets to see the calendars and make it a one tap operation to encode that thing I did today.

#163Kind of silly, but the association to ADHD makes me feel like I need to have the disorder to make the most use of this app.
Maybe pull back a bit on that part of the marketing? People who have ADHD know how valuable checklist apps are, just seems like you're needlessly narrowing your target market.

#164Hi 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 is excellent work! I've currently got all my reusable checklists in Remember the Milk, but they get lost in there among all my other hundreds of todos.
I'm always surprised how few todo apps seem to target reusable lists, it's definitely an overlooked niche. Back in the Palm Pilot and early iOS days, SplashData's SplashShopper app was fantastic at this, but they don't seem to be able to keep up with modern application development update/release cycles and it's slowly become unusable over time.
Anyway- you asked for feature requests.
1. Consider making lists organizable in some way -- make them nestable or categorizeable. Like, my travel checklist in RTM consists of multiple sub-lists: clothing, electronics, toiletries, medical, etc. Splash Shopper does this with a sortable category on each item.
2. Consider adding prepopulated lists, particularly for things like groceries where the list can have lots of common items, will likely be long, and building it from scratch may feel daunting.
3. Consider having separate views for all the items on the list vs. everything that currently needs checking off. Like, when I travel or go grocery shopping, I may not need everything on the whole list. Let me build a list from a bank of all the items in the list rather than forcing me to uncheck everything in order to reuse the list and then prune the stuff that I don't need on the list for this particular trip.

#165What's the difference between this and other todo list apps?
Most todo apps don't really cater to the idea of a reusable list. Items effectively disappear once checked off, unless they're repeatable, in which case a new task is generated at the frequency you specify. There are lists of things that need doing repeatedly but not necessarily on a strict repeating schedule. Packing for travel and/or camping is a typical use case, as is a grocery list. You want a reusable prepopulated list of things you might need for any given trip.

#166This app is embarrassing similar to how I use Google Keep.
Isn't this just the "Uncheck all items" feature from Google Keep?

#167Earlier quoted context omitted.
> the developer does not collect any data If true, that is very refreshing and nice to read
This is not the best take on this, as that means no crash reporting and no metrics. I think people need to realize 99% of indie devs aren’t doing anything nefarious with anonymous crash and client user data and just want to deliver a better product to you, their users.

Nice job ! It would be cool to have presets / shared checklists. I found that items are difficult to check using only right hand. Maybe allow to check from the entire item and make them bigger ? However, I found it to be simple & nice.
Sharing checklists/presets/a checklist community is definitely something I am considering :)
I'm going to make an update soon to make the entire item tappable.

Yes, there’s a big marker for good checklists. My wife is a nurse and they need to use checklists when working g with patients in the OR and PACU, and since she uses them so much at work she now makes lists for everything at home. Something like this would be a good idea.

Hi - can you say more about how you’re keeping data secure and encrypted and such? Checklists can include some very personal information so I think having a strong security and privacy practice can help with adoption since it is hard to trust a random new app versus built in apps.
Hi! Basically the data is stored in iCloud in the same way your Apple reminders and notes are. I never have access to the data as it is stored on your local device and Apples server.
So in terms of security and privacy, your essentially trusting Apple itself.
