Features
What Checked Off actually does.
Not a bigger list — the right slice of it, every day. Here's what's live in the app right now.
Daily Planning
Plan your day, then stop planning.
Pick which projects, routines, and saved filters feed today, and Checked Off sorts them into one list sized to what you can actually get through — not everything you could theoretically do. A capacity threshold decides what shows by default; the rest sits one click below, under “See more.”

Routines
Routines show up one item at a time.
No missed-day backlog, no guilt pile. Each routine surfaces just its next item — skip it, mark it forgotten, or resolve it, and the next one appears in its place, scheduled for whenever it's actually due.

Organization
Organize by what it's for, not when it's due.
Domains group your projects and routines by life area — work, home, health, whatever you use. Tags and a composable filter engine cut across all of it, and any saved filter can feed straight into your daily plan.

What's active?
Step away without losing your place.
What's active? is a quick, swipeable review of every open project — keep it active, shelve it for later, or mark it done. Shelving isn't deleting; everything's still there, exactly where you left it, whenever you're ready.

AI Access
Bring your own AI, if you want it.
AI access is off by default. Turn it on and Checked Off exposes an MCP connection your own AI tool can use — including a training task, written by us, that teaches it the app's syntax before it ever touches your data. Desktop only, and reversible any time.
Data & Storage
Your data lives on your machine.
Checked Off runs on a local SQLite file on your device — no account, no server-hosted copy of your data by default. Automatic and manual backups, plus a built-in recovery flow if a file ever gets corrupted, keep it safe.

Capturing tasks
Bulk add with structure
Indent a line while adding to make it a subtask of the one above.
Title-only creation
Nothing else is required to create a task.
Staying organized
Tree or flat view
See a project as a hierarchy or a flat sorted list — your choice, per project.
Project states
Active, shelved, or completed, each with its own clear, limited set of moves.
Drag-reorder in Daily
Reorder standard tasks and routine items together, mixed in the same list.
Keeping things running
Backup & recovery
Settings → Data: create or restore a backup, open the folder, or run an integrity check any time.
In-app bug reporting
Flag a problem without leaving the app. (Beta builds only, for now.)
Reversible everything
AI access, filters, tags, and domains can all be turned off or undone without losing data.
