Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CheckYourList.
What is CheckYourList?
CheckYourList is a simple iOS and Apple Watch app for creating reusable checklists. Unlike traditional to-do apps where you complete tasks and they disappear, CheckYourList lets you check items off, then uncheck the whole list to use it again. It's perfect for routines and recurring tasks like packing for the gym, morning routines, or daycare drop-offs.
How is CheckYourList different from a to-do app?
To-do apps are designed for one-time tasks that you complete and forget. CheckYourList is designed for repeatable processes — things you do over and over. You create a checklist once, use it whenever you need it, and reset it for next time. No recreating lists, no recurring task complexity, no streaks or habit tracking. Just simple, reusable checklists.
Can I use CheckYourList for to-dos or one-time tasks?
Absolutely! While CheckYourList shines for reusable checklists, it's great for one-time tasks too. Create a checklist for a specific project, trip, or event — check things off as you go, and delete it when you're done. The simple interface makes it easy to capture tasks quickly without the overhead of traditional to-do apps.
Does CheckYourList work on Apple Watch?
Yes! CheckYourList has a standalone Apple Watch app that syncs with your iPhone. You can view and check off items right from your wrist — perfect for when your phone isn't handy, like at the gym or while getting ready in the morning.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. CheckYourList is currently available for iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. We're focused on making the Apple experience great first, but an Android version may come in the future.
How much does CheckYourList cost?
CheckYourList is free to download with limited features. Pro unlocks unlimited lists, widgets, reminders, and more. Pro is available as a monthly subscription ($3.99/month), yearly subscription ($19.99/year), or a one-time lifetime purchase ($24.99).
Does CheckYourList sync across devices?
Yes. CheckYourList uses iCloud to automatically sync your checklists across all your Apple devices — iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Changes sync in real-time when you're connected to the internet.
What's included in the free version?
The free version lets you create up to 2 checklists with unlimited items. Pro unlocks unlimited checklists, daily reminders, and more customization options.
Can I set reminders for my checklists?
Yes. You can set daily reminders for specific checklists, so you get a notification at the right time — like a reminder to run through your morning checklist when you wake up, or your gym bag checklist before you leave work.
Is CheckYourList good for ADHD?
Many users with ADHD find CheckYourList helpful. It's designed to be simple with no overwhelming features, streaks, or guilt. The reusable checklist format helps externalize routines so you don't have to remember everything. Check the list, trust the list, move on.
How do I reset a checklist?
After completing a checklist, tap the "Uncheck All" button to reset all items at once. Your checklist is instantly ready to use again. No need to recreate anything.
Can I reorder items in my checklist?
Yes. You can drag and drop items to reorder them however you like. Many users order items by the sequence they do them — like getting dressed before eating breakfast in a morning routine.
Does CheckYourList have widgets?
Yes, with Pro. CheckYourList offers home screen and lock screen widgets so you can see your checklist at a glance or quickly access it without opening the app.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel anytime through your Apple ID settings: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → CheckYourList → Cancel. Your Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period.
