Astro Checklists

Nasa use checklists to make sure spacecraft launches and the like go off without a hitch. I always forget my toothbrush or my phone charger when I pack a bag.

This app lets you create repeatable to-do lists for common tasks — packing a bag, making a chilli, setting up a new computer — then run through the list many times, so every time you do that task, you remember everything.

First, create a checklist — this is a common task like "pack a bag". Then, "start" the checklist (with the triangular "play" icon). You can enter a name for this specific run-through, for example "pack for holiday" — and then "pack for home" the week after. This way, everything you pack on the way out, you'll pack on the way home too!
