### A free tool built for routines

Today I'm excited to launch [StepList](https://steplist.app), a tool for routines. [StepList](https://steplist.app) helps you create, perform, schedule, delegate, and share routines. 

I built [StepList](https://steplist.app) because I'm a big fan of checklists and there isn't a great tool for managing them. 

In 2014, on a cross-country flight, I devoured Atul Gawande's [The Checklist Manifesto](https://amzn.to/3WoOhyN). Checklists, he proposes, are a tool for countering a world that is an increasingly complex array of meshed layers. Inspired, I started applying checklists to my life and found they helped me greatly. Routines that mattered got a checklist. Little mistakes, which would have rendered my efforts moot, were all but eliminated. When they occurred, a checklist was updated.

As my library of checklists grew, I became frustrated by the lack of tools to manage them. There are *countless* to-do list apps, but few handle repeatable routines well. At the other end of the spectrum are project management tools, which are complicated and difficult to set up (setting up these tools often *requires* checklists). 

What I wanted sat in the Goldilocks Zone, somewhere between Todoist and Jira.

So I built what would become [StepList](https://steplist.app). It's fast, focused, and easy. 

With [StepList](https://steplist.app) you can:

- **Create:** Create, edit, and share checklists.
- **Perform:** Quickly and easily perform a checklist.$$
- **Schedule:** Schedule checklists to be performed at specific times.
- **Invite:** Invite others to perform a checklist by a specific date.

[StepList](https://steplist.app) features a unified interface that works quickly on both desktop and mobile. It's designed to be fast, especially when performing lists. StepList has also become a place where I test out new UX patterns and ideas, like using [AI to pre-populate a list's icon](https://www.dbreunig.com/2024/02/01/pursuing-quiet-ai.html) or its initial steps.

[StepList](https://steplist.app) is free to use, with a $5/month premium plan for unlimited scheduled, delegated, and private lists. 

For routines that matter, use [StepList](https://steplist.app). Get it right, every time.
