Checkwell

Sort to-dos into projects, switch any project to a kanban board and forecast its finish.

Checkwell keeps to-dos in areas, projects and headings, with notes, checklists, tags, deadlines, reminders and estimates. Press ⌥⌘B and a project becomes a kanban board with WIP limits and swimlanes. A timer logs your hours, and Monte Carlo forecasts tell you how likely a project is to be done by a given date.

What it does

  • Capture from any app with ⌃⌥Space

    Type "call dentist friday at 3pm #errand ~30m" and Checkwell sets the date, reminder, tag and estimate. It reads English and German.

  • Every project is also a kanban board

    ⌥⌘B switches between list and board. Headings become swimlanes, columns take WIP limits, and moving a card to Done completes the to-do.

  • Forecasts with deadline risk

    Monte Carlo runs give each project a forecast such as "85% likely done by" a date, and warn when a deadline is at risk. Charts show cumulative flow, throughput, lead time and cycle time.

  • Time tracking with CSV reports

    Run a focus timer or a stopwatch, or log time by hand. The report groups hours by project, tag, to-do or day and exports to CSV.

  • Plan the day and the week

    Plan My Day sorts overdue, due and high-priority to-dos against your daily capacity. The Week Planner shows your calendar events next to them.

  • Claude splits a to-do into steps

    Ask Claude to break a to-do into a checklist of concrete steps. It uses your own API key, which Checkwell keeps in the Keychain.

Good to know

  • Calendar access is read-only. Checkwell shows your events but cannot create or change them.
  • Quick capture understands English and German only.

System requirements

  • macOS 15 or later
  • Apple silicon or Intel Mac
  • Your own Anthropic API key for splitting to-dos into steps
