Write your procedure once with sections, required steps, notes and variables like {{version}}. Or just paste your existing Markdown checklist.
Start a run, assign steps to people, set a due date. Progress updates live. A run can only be completed when every required step is done.
A tag is pushed and the release checklist opens itself. One curl from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or any cron job.
Every check, assignment and completion is recorded: who, what and when. Append-only, exportable to CSV for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 evidence.
Weekly patching every Monday, month-end close on the last day, access reviews on the first weekday of the quarter. Runs open themselves, already assigned.
Get told when a run starts, an item is assigned to you, a run is overdue or done. Per-person email settings, signed webhooks for your own tools.
Send a status link to stakeholders or customers. The link is unguessable and can be revoked any time.
Export everything as JSON any time. Delete your organization with one click, and the subscription is cancelled with it.
Hosted in the EU, operated from Switzerland. Passwordless sign-in. No trackers, no ads.
128 ready-made checklists for releases, incidents, onboarding, audits, month-end close and more. Import one in a click and run it with your team.
A practical deployment checklist for small software teams: pre-flight checks, rollout, verification and rollback steps you can trigger from CI.
An incident response checklist for small IT and ops teams: declare, assign roles, mitigate, communicate and hand over cleanly. Start it from your alerting.
A user access review checklist for SOC 2 and ISO 27001: pull user lists, confirm owners, revoke stale accounts and keep evidence an auditor will accept.
An IT offboarding checklist for small teams: disable SSO, revoke tokens, rotate shared secrets, transfer data, recover devices and record every step.
A free employee onboarding checklist from contract to day 90: paperwork, accounts, first-week plan and check-ins, so no new hire slips through the cracks.
A client onboarding checklist for agencies: contract, access, kickoff prep, communication rules and first deliverables, so every new client starts the same way.
A month end close checklist for small finance teams: cut-off, reconciliations, accruals, review and reporting, in order, with a clear owner for each step.
An office move checklist for small companies: lease, internet and IT, movers, address changes and the first day in the new space, planned well before move day.
An ecommerce launch checklist for new online stores: products, payments, shipping, tax, legal pages, tracking and a real test order before you open to buyers.
Create an API token, then start a run whenever a release is tagged. Your team gets the checklist, the pipeline gets the run's status, so you can gate a deploy on it. Retries are safe with Idempotency-Key.
