Aww man, I've got an Android phone. Anyone know of any alternatives for Android? I'm currently using TickTick, but daily or activity based repeatable tasks isn't its focus. I was only able to get what I need because of its decently powerful filter.

I use https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits with multiple widgets to see the calendars and make it a one tap operation to encode that thing I did today.
Google Keep lets you make checklists and it's easy to uncheck everything on the list. I use it to make "leaving the house" lists etc.
I tried Keep a few years ago and I'm pretty sure this option wasn't there and needed to uncheck all items. I gave up at the time.

I just reopened it after reading your comments and found this "uncheck all boxes". It looks like you improved my life, thanks :)

Hopefully I'll make an Android version in the future, or a web app.

I used TickTick alot for this previously, I used to check the items complete then when I wanted to go through the list again I would just uncheck them and then the next day it would be checking them if that makes sense.

Same experience. I was quite surprised when I discovered the app to be so limited for users who operate in repeatable "mode".

It's like these creators all read the checklist manifesto and didn't understand the core concept.

I spent ages searching for an option to uncheck a checklist in TickTick. I had just assumed it was going to exist.
Samsung Notes is perfect for this assuming you use a Samsung device.
I've found Productive to be very helpful
