About Checkvist

Checkvist is a cloud-based outliner and task management tool that can be used to create tasks lists, jot down notes and so on. The free version allows users to create checklists using styles such as numbers, bullets, checkboxes and more. Additional features include grouping similar tasks using tags, building task hierarchies and editing their status.

The paid version comes with more enhanced features such as task delegation, task tracking with automated notifications, file sharing, bulk-operational tools, white-label options for changing the tools’ colors or logo and integration with third-party solutions such as MS Outlook and Google Calendar.

The tool is suitable for small businesses that need a task management solution without any frills. The interface is specifically designed for users of desktops and laptops as most of the functions can be executed using keyboard shortcuts. It is deployed in the cloud so users can log in and use the tool via desktops, laptops or mobile devices.

Great outliner and task tool

I really-really like keyboard-first approach and power that it gives. As long-time user of Workflowy, I was significantly disappointed in its fresh features which just can't work with keyboard and you have to move your palm to the mouse. Here, it's never an issue, and it's great. Thank you guys kindly.

Pros:

Some wise man told me once that if you have less than 400 items on your to-do, you can just go with lists and don't try anything more complicated. Yet, I'd like to work with lists in easy and convenient manner, using keyboard mostly, and for this purpose Checkvist fits in perfectly.

Cons:

Not having mobile app is a kind of downside, but not a strong one.

THE fastest, easiest, most flexible task organization tool I've ever used

I was able to organize writing my entire novel with Checkvist. It's superior to using Scrivener for tasks and outlines by far. (I do use Scrivener for actual writing, though.)

Functionality

Pros:

So easy to use -- especially for touch-typists. Everything's intuitive and keyboard-based so you never need to remove your hand to use a mouse/trackpad. I can use Checkvist -my- way, no matter what that means. I can change my organization system instantly. I can store anything on my lists, create linked lists, and format things the way I want, regardless of what that means to me. Sharing/access is simple to set up & use. It's very smart software, anticipating what I need when it's most useful.

Cons:

There is nothing that I like "least" about Checkvist. The only pie-in-the-sky wishes I'd have would be to make it auto-resolve Google Docs filenames from links or link dated tasks to my Google Calendar. There have often been times I've craved a table view, but I wouldn't want it if it impairs my ability to stay keyboard-based.

Reasons for switching to Checkvist

Checkvist is so much faster than using any of these tools. You can also rearrange anything on-the-fly, and do it YOUR WAY. Even if you change your mind later!

Pros:

Flexibility! It makes it possible to track tasks and projects in whatever way best fits your needs. It also provides an outstanding way to brainstorm and outline ideas.

Cons:

It is very difficult to use on small screen mobile devices. It would benefit greatly from a dedicated app with a good GUI.

Reasons for switching to Checkvist

Checkvist provided me with much more flexibility.

An Easy Way to Create Order in Your Life

Well, that is splendid. I am really happy to use such a tool. It makes my life productive and produces great results. I can achieve more, I can keep moving forward day by day, step by step, without extra worries that I would skip some important things. I really like that this service is simple, clear, rational, logical and easy-to-use. I really like their billing policy. I am fond of this beautiful, almost ideal to-do-lists design. It is spectacular that there is a list of keyboard shortcuts which looks so stylish in this nerdy depicting.

Pros:

It is an affordable, user-friendly, responsive, and trustworthy solution to prioritize things in your life, keep things in order and manage your time wisely. First of all, it is a cool and reasonable solution for smart task management. You can create logical, rational, clear and applicable to-do-lists, numbering, categorizing, ordering and reordering tasks in them. You can choose urgent tasks of critical importance, highlight them and add some sub-tasks in sequential order. You can add due dates, if you want. You can add some tags, notes or even files. You can archive your lists, delete or share. It is really an amazing, applicable and really appealing thing. I was fighting with numerous bullet journals, diaries and task-management tools and methods for quite a long time. I even tried gamification, some Android Apps and Chromium plugins and extensions, but usually it did not produce great results. As soon as I did my second Master's, I felt that I needed some fresh perspective for time-management. This tool is more than affordable, but precious and luxurious at the same time. One of my favorite software discoveries. Thank you!

Cons:

The Logo of this brand.Uh-huh. Well, I have been using this tool only for some short period of time. I have not found any annoying, displeasing or uncomfortable options, functions or components. As for the logo: it looks great as a tab or a bookmark in Chromium browser, but looks funny as the brand name in the top left corner of the interface. Just some kind of psychological trigger. I am sorry if my attention to details looks strange.

Reasons for switching to Checkvist

I just wanted some simple, clear and logical lists and I could not get used to the interface of this service, to the numerous options and functions, especially reminders which I did not really need. The last thing which I could not handle - it is a reminding function and due date policies which turned out to be a little bit to annoying. I have some deadlines but they are never tight, that's why I cannot appreciate almost an alarm-clock function which reminds me every day about the things which I just wanted to specify somehow, but not to stick to the strict period of time.

Easily keep track of everything in your life!

Keeping track of thousands of Chromebooks, users and also keeping lists of calls and tasks has been easy with Checkvist. My daily task list is in Checkvist. I can forward any email to Checkvist and go back to the actual email quickly. A really nice feature is linking within tasks/notes. I can copy a link from any list and include it in my daily task list. My original list is not changed, but I have all the information I need for my daily work.

Pros:

Being keyboard centric provides a very fast interface. All the features make it one of the best tools I have ever used. As a tech director and former data analyst, I keep track of massive amounts of data. The best features of Checkvist allow for me to always have whatever information I need immediately at hand. Moving between lists is quick and easy. Search capability is very quick and allows me to find whatever I am looking for. Attachments of any kind, notes, unlimited hierarchy makes Checkvist the best and easiest tool for large amounts of data that you need to organize.

Cons:

The only con that I have found is no native alert for scheduled tasks. The integration with Google calendar provides a suitable work around though.

Reasons for choosing Checkvist

The ability to do almost everything with the keyboard is the best feature of Checkvist. I came from Linux and use GVim. Many of the keyboard functions work similar in both pieces of software.

Reasons for switching to Checkvist

There are only a few things that other tools can do that Checkvist doesn't yet do. The keyboard centricity of Checkvist makes it quicker and easier to use than any other tool.

The most convenient keyboard-centric task and outline manager

Functionality

Pros:

I can't overestimate simple keyboard-centric UX. This is the killer feature. Any action can be done very fast by shortcuts. This is crucial when you want to add and edit many small details while planning and doing tasks. It feels like smooth editing of a text but in a hierarchical structure.I've tried many popular services and apps (Things, Todoist, Trello, Ticktick, ...), and almost all of them don't have such a convenient UX. They only look attractive, but any change takes more time.

Cons:

It's hard to choose because the lack of bells and whistles is for good.

Pros:

A task management software cannot be a judged just based on the number of features it has. Checkvist has managed to stick around with me most than any other software. It tends to grow on you.

Cons:

No features in particular. But a niggle is that notes on a task could be better presented (e.g. on the right side)

Reasons for switching to Checkvist

I am a task-management fanatic and love trying out new task-management software. Stumbled across Checkvist in that journey for finding the holy-grail of task-management and have stuck around it ever since.

Pros:

You can do everything with just a keyboard. There is no UI element that is preventing me from accomplishing what I want in a checklist. This software is definitely perfect for a programmer, even if you're not I would definitely check it out to see if it's fits your style.

Cons:

The mobile version can use a little bit of work. It doesn't currently match the elegance of the web application. That's a difficult goal to achieve though. You can still do the basics of a checklist though.

Pros:

Using the keyword to manage the application makes it fast to use. Having a mobile version too is handy. Good cut and paste too between lists.

Cons:

The mobile version is quite simple. It's more than adequate if you just want to view your lists or mark a task as complete. Building a list/outline from scratch, however, takes time. It compliments the excellent desktop version rather than being the primary tool.
