Bulletlist vs Checkvist

Bulletlist is an infinitely nested outliner for organizing material as bullets, with any bullet able to open as its own page. A bullet can hold multiline comments or a complete Markdown document, and the app includes nine templates such as Zettelkasten, PARA, and Getting Things Done. Users can paste nested lists from Workflowy, Notion, Google Docs, or Markdown, or import OPML files; entire outlines can be exported as OPML or plain text. It works offline, saves edits on the device first, and merges edits made across separate devices. Keyboard shortcuts include ⌘K to find a bullet by name. The web app can be installed from a browser, and native apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac. Every feature is free, with no caps or locked tiers. Sign-in uses a code sent by email instead of a password. The maker says outline content is not used for ads, sold, or used to train anything; Google Analytics measures usage without seeing bullets, notes, or searches.

Checkvist is a keyboard-first outliner and online task manager for people who organize work and ideas in lists. Its lists support deep hierarchy, keyboard shortcuts, Markdown, code, tables, bulk operations, sorting and backlinks. Tasks can carry tags, due dates, notes, assignees, file attachments, priorities and progress counters. Lists can be shared privately or publicly with read-only or write access, password protection, expiration times and task assignment. Integrations include Zapier, Dropbox, Google Calendar sync, Jira, YouTrack, Slack, browser extensions and an Open API. Its mobile experience is a progressive web app for iOS and Android that syncs and works offline; the Web Clipper can collect tasks, bookmarks and notes from web pages and services including Gmail, Zendesk, Jira and GitHub. The free plan includes unlimited hierarchical lists and sharing, Markdown, due dates, tags, mobile offline use, browser extensions and Open API. PRO costs $3.90 per person per month, billed at $39 per year, and adds features such as task assignment, repeating tasks, Google Calendar synchronization, 2 GB of file storage and MCP access. A 14-day PRO trial is available without a credit card.
