Plan a project release

Use priorities, tags, and due dates to organize the whole team's work, from ideation to production.

Publish checklists and instructions

Want to make instructions clear? Create a checklist. Share privately, publicly, password-protected, time-restricted, and follow the progress.

Collect and organize research materials

Collect data with browser extensions. Structure notes and fill in the gaps — add headings, formatting, files, and illustrations. Export, share or publish online.

Log your work and communicate with clients

Structure your tasks, calculate the time spent, add notes, or attach files. Use email integration and browser plugins when necessary.

Organize results of a brainstorming session

A pile of sticky notes is not an actionable result. Turn a brainstorming session into a story plot, a project plan, or a task list for the whole team.

Tasks and priorities are always changing. Checkvist makes this SO simple

Checkvist is an elegant, lovingly-programmed, fun-touse dream of a solution if you need collaborative outlining. Nothing else comes close. Iʼm a big fan of OmniOutliner, and this is just as good (maybe better!), and works for groups. My large team built an ambitious project with CheckVist, and it never let us down (nor did the highly-responsive developer).

Love checkvist.com. Such an awesome organiser.

It's extremely useful for research, both gathering notes and outlining documents. What makes it great is that I can easily reconfigure notes as new ideas develop -- build new categories and regroup thoughts.

Igor Sereda

ALMworks Founder and CEO

We needed a tool to maintain a complex software release procedure. Checkvist nailed it perfectly, with a clean and simple UI.

Vanessa Kapper Gomes

School teacher

Checkvist is just perfect: I can quickly identify the various projects that I have, I can quickly insert new data and, most importantly, I can show the progress of my projects for the parents and school board at any time!

I keep smiling every time I try something and it works the way I think it should.
