Frequently asked questions

How do I import an existing checklist?

Click Import MD / JSON and choose a Markdown file (using ## Section headings and * [ ] task lines) or a JSON file exported from this tool. It becomes a new named checklist you can edit.

Can I keep more than one checklist?

Yes. Use the checklist selector to create, switch between, rename and delete multiple named checklists. Each one is saved separately in your browser.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No. Everything is saved locally in your browser via localStorage and autosaves as you type. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Can I reorder tasks and sections?

Yes. Drag a task by its row to reorder it within a section, or drag a section by the ⠿ handle to reorder categories.

How do I get my checklist back out?

Use Export Markdown to download a clean .md file, or Export JSON to keep the full structure for re-import later.
