Is Checklist: Reusable Lists really free?

Yes. The app is free to download and use, with no account or sign-up required, and the free features are unlimited. Checklist Pro is an optional purchase — $12.99 a year or $24.99 once, with Family Sharing — that adds live collaboration hosting, Daily To-Do, Quick Add, reminders, and print.

How is it different from Reminders or other to-do apps?

Most list apps make you rebuild or un-check lists to reuse them. Here a checklist is a reusable template: each time you run it you get a fresh copy to check off, and the original stays clean for next time.

Does it work offline?

Yes, fully. Every feature works without a connection — on a plane, at a campsite, anywhere.

Yes. There is no account and your checklists are stored on your device. The app does not collect your data.

Can I send a checklist to someone?

Yes — use Share to send any checklist as a link. The recipient gets their own private copy to keep and reuse; the link is end-to-end encrypted.

Can we check off a list together?

Yes — Collaborate live shares a list in real time with anyone you invite. Changes sync privately through iCloud, so there is no account and nothing goes through our servers. Joining is free; hosting a shared list is part of Checklist Pro.

Does it work on iPad or Mac?

Yes — the same app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon Macs, with layouts that adapt to the larger screen, including Split View and Stage Manager.

Can I keep my lists in sync across devices?

Yes — turn on iCloud Sync (part of Checklist Pro) in Settings on each device. Your library syncs through your own iCloud, with no account and no server of ours in between, and comes back after a reinstall.

Is there an Android or web version?

The Android app is in development — leave your email at getchecklist.app/android and we’ll let you know when it’s on Google Play. There is no web version; today the app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Why Checklist: Reusable Lists

Less re-typing. More doing.

Every other list app makes you start from a blank page. Checklist: Reusable Lists remembers the list so you don’t have to.

🔁

Reusable templates

Build a list once — then run it again and again. Each run starts fresh while your template stays untouched.

🗂️

One-off & sectioned lists

Need a quick grocery run? Make a one-off. Big trip? Group items into sections and drag to reorder.

📤

Send a copy in a tap

Send any list to a friend with a link. They open it in Checklist: Reusable Lists and it’s theirs to reuse — no account needed.

🕑

History & activity

Every run is remembered. The Activity tab shows what you completed and when — each with its start and finish dates.

📌

Pin, search & reorder

Pin favorites to the top, drag to reorder, and search by name or by what’s inside a list — with filters for pinned, reusable, one-off, and daily.

🤝

📋

Paste a list

Paste from Notes or Messages and every line becomes an item — bullets cleaned up, “x2” a quantity, “Heading:” a section. With Apple Intelligence it understands messy wording too, on-device.

☁️

iCloud Sync PRO

Keep your library the same on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and get it back after a reinstall. Syncs through your own iCloud — no account, no server of ours in between.
