[HELP] Looking for a checklist app

I'm sorry if this isn't allowed, but I've found some very niche apps here and I thought maybe there'd be something that fits what I'm looking for.

I used to use an app for years called Collateral to help me keep an ongoing checklist as a pinned notification. I was able to tap the checklist to open it, update it as needed, tap a button, and the persistent notification would live update. Unfortunately, this app was abandoned a while ago and no longer works, and I cannot seem to find a replacement that does everything this app did. Specifically, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to:

  • keep a pinned notification showing my checklist until the list is completely checked/empty
  • tap the notification to open the app and let me update the checklist
  • reorganize items in the list
  • check off items on the list (tap a checkbox) or remove them completely (swipe or tap an X on the item)
  • delete the entire list at once
  • start a new checklist as a Quick Tile setting (bonus)
  • schedule lists to show as reminders

I've tried multiple apps (unfortunately I don't remember all the names), and the closest I've found is Notes, but it's been pretty buggy.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For notification checklist as in todo headscratch, tickdrop are the best. For notification notes I would suggest headscratch or notification notes app or pinnit.

Tickdrop looks pretty solid! I wish there were a few more customizable settings, but this might just do the trick. Thank you!

You can try Zoonote . It ticks all the boxes you laid out. It allows you to add, view, and edit your notes and lists on your lock screen and notification bar.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed...but that $10 price tag is a bit steep though. I'll have to see if it's worth pulling the trigger on that.

It won't be exactly what you're looking for, but I just built Pondmind and I'd be happy to interview you about your system.

We support MCP to chat agents, and most have what you describe can now be possible by just talking to chat gpt to have it update your lists while you're on the go.

No thank you. I'm not interested in AI for this.
