Handy inexpensive and simple app - just what was needed. I would give it five stars if it weren't for one issue. Upon installation the app opens but does not load in the preferences to launch on startup – a good thing – when set to launch on startup it seems to cause some confusion and slows down boot considerably. Best launched from dock after start.

Version 5.2.1 is on App Store as of 0930 Hrs BST 13th June 2014 Adrien [me] was sceptical about Check Off's stable utility for notes. I am not prepared to write a Review and cannot as of now, a few minutes after downloading 5.2.1 from App Store (when Lucien said he awaited MAS approval of 5.2) Happily for me MAS said there was no $9 charge, "as you have already paid for Check Off".) The first glitch is in Preferences: Change fonts did NOT. I would give it overall 4 stars for being able to save notes as Rich Text. I hope to review Check Off 5.2.1 soon [elastca]?

Check Off used to be one of my daily login apps, now this app is no longer save any datas I enter, has been since I updated to v5.1. Anytime I made the whole bunch of lists, on the next system reboot it act as if I never ever even open this app before. I don't know if this is a problem is unique to me or everyone else has it, but I am not going to enter datas over and over again in CheckOff. Trash!

Check Off 5.0.2 has many bugs. Although three bug reports were transmitted by e-mail, even if one week passes, no replies come. You should consider Check Off purchase carefully. I recommend ToDo. ToDo is compatible with 10.7.

If you want a trial visit the dev's page. October 8th, I believe they posted a link to download a demo version of the app w/ a ten item limitation. Version 5, but not 5.0.1 as far as I know. Link: http://com.chromedomesoftware.s3.amazonaws.com/Check_Off_5.0_Demo.zip

I have been using Check-Off for years, and am still using the last pre-shareware, freeware version (3.8). It is stable, a good combination of simplicity and utility, and aesthetically nice. The only draw I could find to the paid version -- and it does seem like a good feature -- is the fact it can be used on an iPod and synced to the computer. I upgraded the OS to 10.7.1 and Check-Off has finally started behaving erratically - as have some other apps.

Ahhhh.. the AppStore.. where developers now feel there's no place for demo versions or trial software and just want you to pay $9.99 without even a remote chance to see if A) the software runs on your system or B) it fulfills your needs. The AppStore has done one great thing here.... stopped me for purchasing many software packages which I may have actually purchased. To the developer... if you think the bulk of users out there will shell out $9.99 simply because your app is in the AppStore, you're kidding yourself. Offer a free demo or trial otherwise, take your software and place it where all software goes to die.

Checkoff was GPL at version 3.8, looks like the dev had a change of heart. I have the 3.8 binary, and 3.6 source, put up in a fresh project on Sourceforge. If anybody has the latest code, please reply! http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkoffosx/files/Check%20Off%203.8%20app.zip/download

Links to files in the notes section work: click on them and the file opens. But the links do not remain. They disappear as soon as the list is retracted. Any suggestions?

Finally I found what I was searching for, I tryed so many "to do" apps but in the end I was regularly using textedit and ending with a total chaos. the menu bar feature is the TOP and the way to arrange notes is perfect. A donation is on its way to the developer. thanks! ps:"just a secondary detail, if there was the possibility to set the icons in a smaller size, that would be very appreciated, at least there are just 5 icons and are very easy to remember"

I use this on my (leopard) home mac, but i want to also use it on my work mac, which is running tiger. It works, but not very well. it is slow (think a thirty second to two minute delay, dependign on whaat i'm doing), but it works, although i wish that 3.6 was still available (i think that that one was the last native tiger version. if anyone knows where this can be found, email me (And if you have the 3.6 at your house, email it to me as an attachment with subject check off. willie.pryor@earthlink.net. thanks.

Check Off is great! This is exactly what I was looking for - a simple way to organize to do items, and group them by client/subject. I agree that .Mac sync would be nice, but the lack of it is not a deal-breaker. I'll definitely be donating to encourage continued development of Check Off.

This program and Sidenote are my two best friends on Desktop that I can't live with out. I use Check Off to track my bank payments, license numbers and passwords, and use Sidenote as my shoebox of notes and ideas. Both non-intrusive and always there whenever I need them.

Easily the best and most useful todo list I've ever seen and used. This application is worthy of being bundled with the operating system in my opinion. It is extremely easy to use and learn, as it simply just works as you'd expect it to work. The interface is very easy to look at and will feel instantly comfortable to any user. I can't recommend this application enough! It's a shame that the rating system only goes up to 5.
