Tutorial

Getting Started

Welcome to yCheck, your all-in-one app for building powerful, flexible checklists with reminders, dependencies, sub-items, folders, and an AI assistant to help you brainstorm. This tutorial walks you through the core features step-by-step so you can get the most out of the app. Whether you’re organizing a trip, planning a project, or keeping track of daily routines, yCheck helps you think clearly and act confidently.

Tabs:
• Favorites: Your starred checklists for quick access.
• Folders: Organize related checklists by theme (e.g., Work, Home, Travel).
• Checklists: All your lists in one place.
• Search: Find reminders, templates, and manage global reminder settings.

• Edit mode: Tap Edit in the top-right of many screens to reorder, bulk-select, or perform batch actions.

Favorites

From the Favorites screen:
• Swipe a row to quickly act on a checklist.
• Tap Edit to reorder or remove favorites.
• Tip: Use Favorites for your most frequent routines (e.g., “Going Out,” “Daily Standup”).

Folders

• Create folders to keep your checklists organized by context: Home, University, Work, Vacation, etc.
• Move checklists into folders from the checklist’s context menu (long-press the row or tap the ••• menu).
• Folders keep your main list clean and help you focus on what matters.

Creating and Structuring a Checklist

1. Create a new checklist from the Checklists tab or from a template in Search.
2. Add items and reorder them with drag-and-drop.
3. Use sub-items to break down complex tasks:
• Long-press an item or open its context menu to Add Sub-item.
• Sub-items appear under the parent item and can be checked off individually.

Conditions (Dependencies)

• Make one item depend on another with Add Condition.
• For example: “Take Umbrella” depends on “Is it raining?” → Yes.
• Conditional items only activate when their conditions are met, helping you keep lists relevant and uncluttered.

Reminders

yCheck supports multiple reminder types to keep you on track:• Time-based reminders: Set a date and time for a checklist.
• Repeating schedules: Configure Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly reminders.
• Location-based reminders: Get notified when arriving at or leaving a specific place. Adjust the radius to fine-tune sensitivity.How to set a reminder:
1. From the Checklists list, open the context menu on a checklist (tap the ••• menu).
2. Tap Remind… and configure date/time, repeat options, and location if desired.
3. Save. You’ll see upcoming reminders in the Search tab under Reminders.Global reminder control:
• In Search, you’ll find a Reminders section.
• Tap the bell action to cancel all reminders across the app when needed (e.g., while traveling).

AI Assistant

Let the AI Assistant help you brainstorm and create checklists faster.
• Open the AI Assistant from the Checklists or Search context (look for the sparkle/wand icon).
• Describe what you need: “Make me a list of places to visit in New York City.”
• The assistant will think, generate a structured checklist (with sections if relevant), and let you:
