Amazon / Business / DAILY CHECKLIST
REVIEW
Daily Checklist is a free recurring to-do list that does the one thing it advertises.
An indie checklist utility on Fire that resets your tasks every day. No cloud, no clutter, no surprises — and very little beyond that.

There is a category of small, single-purpose apps on the Amazon Appstore that exist because the developer wanted them to exist and the store was cheap enough to publish to. Daily Checklist is one of them. It does not have a marketing site, it does not have a roadmap, and it has not been written about anywhere we can find.
What it has is a clear job. Open the app, tick off the things you do every day, and the next day the boxes are empty again. On a Fire tablet that lives on the kitchen counter, that is a perfectly defensible reason to take up a tile on the home screen.
It is not, however, a productivity system, and trying to make it one will end in disappointment.
It is the kind of app that exists because somebody got tired of crossing the same five tasks off paper every morning.
FEATURES
Daily Checklist is exactly what the name promises. You add items to a list, you tick them off through the day, and at the next reset the boxes clear so you can do it again tomorrow. It is the kind of app that exists because somebody got tired of crossing the same five tasks off paper every morning.
The Fire build is built around a single list on a single device. There is no account, no sign-in, and as far as we can tell no sync — your tasks live in local storage on the tablet you installed it on. The interface is a plain vertical list with checkboxes; tap to complete, long-press or swipe to edit or remove. Adding a task is a single text field and a save button. There is no scheduling, no priority field, no notes, no tags.
It is free, contains no in-app purchases, and at the time of writing carries a five-star rating from a very small number of users — which is the kind of number you weigh accordingly.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The pitch is honest. This is a recurring checklist, not a project manager pretending to be one, and Pankaj Soni has not bolted on a subscription, a sync service, or an AI assistant to justify a relaunch. The reset behaviour is the whole product, and on a Fire tablet sitting on a kitchen counter or beside a treadmill, that is genuinely useful.
Free with no IAP is the right pricing for what's on offer. A daily habit list is a thirty-line piece of software; charging for it would feel wrong, and the developer has not tried.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The absence of sync is the obvious ceiling. A checklist that exists only on one Fire tablet is a checklist you forget about the moment you walk into another room with your phone. There is no companion Android build, no web view, no export — if the tablet wipes, the list wipes. Anyone who wants their morning routine on more than one screen has to look elsewhere.
Reminders are the other missing piece. A daily checklist without a nudge at 7am is a checklist that depends on you remembering to open the app, which defeats the point on the days you most need it. Native Fire notifications would not be hard to add, and their absence is the main reason this stays a 6-band rather than climbing into the 7s.
CONCLUSION
Install Daily Checklist if you want a free, no-account, single-tablet way to track a fixed set of repeating tasks and you don't need it to follow you anywhere else. Skip it if you already use Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, or any cross-device habit tracker — those will do this and a great deal more. Worth watching to see whether the developer adds notifications.
