Custom lists

Make a checklist for anything that doesn’t fit another list type.

Making one

  1. On the Lists screen, select New.
  2. Choose Custom list, a blank checklist.
  3. Name it, for example “Moving house”, “Party prep”, or “Weekend jobs”, and select Create.
  4. Add your items and check them off as you go.
Tip: When you type an item, Gatherby corrects the spelling. You can also add items with a 📷 photo or by sharing something to Gatherby.

Reusing a custom list

  1. Open the list on the web and select Save as template at the bottom.
  2. When you need the list again, open Settings → Lists → Templates on the web and select Start next to the template.

The new copy contains the same items, all unchecked.

A list inside a list

A list can include another list as one of its items, such as a “Diaper bag” list inside a “Travel” list. The item shows the inner list’s progress; select it to open the inner list. The item is marked complete once every item on the inner list is checked.

To add one on the web:

  1. Open Settings → Lists → Your lists and choose the outer list.
  2. Under Sub-lists, choose a list in Add a sub-list.
  3. Select Add sub-list.

Choosing one of your active lists links that list, so changes show in both places. Choosing a template starts a new, unchecked copy.
