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.

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.

Checkli: https://www.checkli.com/

Process Street: https://www.process.st/

https://checklist.com/ also lets you create "checklist templates"

I've been using Process Street for a year or so. It's not exactly simple.

Checkli looks cool

I think thats the problem. There are a lot of apps that are almost there but not quite specific enough to this problem. Ones i've found have been frustrating to use.

Thanks, added feedback in an edit to my original comment before seeing this.

Just saw your edit. Is it because you need the list to stay checked so you can make sure you have completed it before day end? This behaviour is one of the challenges I need to handle. I was planning on having some settings available around how the checklists uncheck, like you could have automatic daily unchecked set on some checklists but not others. For editing the items, at the moment you need to delete and re-add, however I have an updated version coming within the next few days with with the ability to edit the items. I just need to finish testing it before I make it live.

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.
