I organize my tasks and notes in OmniFocus and Simplenote, respectively. I know, though, that many of you guys don’t need the complexity of OmniFocus, or Simplenote’s cloud syncing capabilities. Heck, maybe you don’t even need to take notes or embrace the GTD method.
If so, you can give a try to Docket for iPad.
Docket lets you create simple checklist on your iPad, without even needing to leave the (virtual) keyboard: create a new list, start typing and press Enter to create a new item. Type again and press Enter - you’re creating a checklist. The workflow of the app is basic, meant for people who just need to add items to remember - no contexts or projects or tags.
When an item is complete, you can swipe on it or hit the checkbox. Hit it again to put it back in the list. Oh, and you can also attach comments to an item. Last, email yourself a list of items as plain text, copy it, paste it in the import menu and Docket will magically re-create that email as a list.
At $4.99 in the App Store, the app is a little bit pricey - but it’s the best checklist app for iPad I found so far. If you need anything like this, go buy it.
