Automations and templates

In the Teams workspace, automations can assign tasks, set due dates and update statuses, and more than 100 workflow templates are provided.

Checklist

Templates and builders

Lists can start from public checklist templates or from builders for groceries, routines and packing. The groceries builder has presets and aisle-based categories.

Guided mode

Guided mode walks through a checklist one step at a time, for routines, packing, cleaning or any procedure where the order matters.

Routines and schedules

A checklist that repeats can be turned into a routine, scheduled, reused and tracked over time, and the next run can be scheduled when one finishes.

Sharing and teams

Checklists are shared with family, friends or teammates. Recent releases added team invitations inside the app and access management for members and guests.

Reminders and task suggestions

Tasks can carry reminders, and the app suggests tasks while a list is being built.
