Make an online to-do list in your notes with a checklist you can update as work gets done. Add task entries, mark them complete, and see your progress at a glance with an optional progress bar. Use it for anything you want to track with checked and unchecked items, from errands to a project launch. You can also choose to move completed tasks below open ones, delete them when checked, or celebrate when the whole list is complete. ### When to use it - Keep a grocery or errands list and check off items as you pick them up. - Track the steps for a project launch, from preparing materials to publishing. - Make a packing checklist for a trip and mark each item as it goes in your bag. - Follow a weekly routine, such as reviewing priorities or preparing a team update. ### Features and settings - **Show progress bar**: Displays a visual progress bar and completion percentage above the tasks. Turn it on when you want a quick view of how much of the list is done. - **Move checked tasks down**: Moves completed rows below open tasks instead of leaving them in place.
