How to Use the Checklist Generator
Type or paste your list into the text area, one item per line. Each line instantly becomes an interactive checkbox item in the preview panel on the right. Click any checkbox to mark it done — a checked item is shown crossed out. When you're ready to share your list, click "Copy as Markdown" to copy it in standard Markdown task-list syntax, with checked and unchecked items reflected correctly.
Example
Typing three lines — "Buy groceries", "Finish report", "Call the dentist" — and checking off the first two produces this Markdown when copied:- [x] Buy groceries- [x] Finish report- [ ] Call the dentist
Common Use Cases
- Turning a quick brain-dump of tasks into an interactive to-do list.
- Creating a Markdown task list to paste into GitHub issues, Notion, or README files.
- Building a temporary checklist for a meeting agenda or shopping trip.
FAQs
- Does my checklist get saved? No — this tool keeps everything in your browser's memory only for the current visit. Reloading the page or navigating away resets the list, so copy your progress out as Markdown if you need to keep it.
- Can I reorder items? Not directly in the preview — reorder the lines in the text area on the left and the checklist below updates to match, though checked states are tracked by line position and may shift if you reorder.
- What does the copied Markdown look like? It uses standard GitHub-flavored Markdown task-list syntax:
- [ ] itemfor unchecked items and- [x] itemfor checked ones, which renders as clickable checkboxes on GitHub, Notion, and most Markdown viewers.
