Markdown Lists That Feel Like iOS Natives

Plain ole’ text files kept in Markdown are great for just about everything. And a general purpose Markdown editor (like Obsidian!) is usually the best tool for the job.

But… Lists. Lists should be quick and easy! But on the phone Markdown lists only require 8 “easy” steps:

  1. Open your favorite general Markdown editor.
  2. Search for the list in your giant pile of files.
  3. Find the list in the file.
  4. Get the cursor to the right place with some tappy/swipey mashing.
  5. Deal with the fact that you are in a general purpose editor that only mostly understands you are dealing with a list.
  6. Curse the fact that the hotkeys you might use on a computer aren’t easily available.
  7. Get the job done in the end.
  8. Contemplate moving your lists to Apple Notes.

CheckMarked is there (in an incredibly specific way) to help.

CheckMarked lets you select the files you want and presents just the lists in them in clean and convenient iPhone-friendly way. Every addition/removal/edit/and crossoff is saved back to the file in plain Markdown (respecting and ignoring any other Markdown in the file of course).

Fast And Clean

Get to your list quickly, do what you need to do, and get out. CheckMarked puts everything you need to keep your lists in shape on one screen with no extras.

Plain Ole' Markdown

CheckMarked keeps your list on disk in plain Markdown using the CommonMark standard. No proprietary formats. No weird extras.

Respects Your Other Data

CheckMarked speaks the entire CommonMark standard, and it uses that to respect everything you in your files.

  • Do you keep notes with your lists? Fine. CheckMarked will leave them where they are.
  • Do you have links to other files embeded in your lists? CheckMarked won’t touch them.
  • Headers, code blocks, footnotes, charts, etc. They will all stay the way you left them.

Works With Any File You Own

CheckMarked is designed to work with your files, not to take over. If you can access a file on your phone, CheckMarked can work with the lists you keep in that file.

  • Compatable with all syncing services available via Files (Dropbox, iCloud, etc.).
  • Works with local files too.
  • Stays in sync with programs like Obsidian that also work with plain Markdown files.

Always Private

CheckMarked doesn’t collect any personal information. Your data is yours and remains on your devices and within your Apple iCloud account.

Integrated With Siri Shortcuts
