About Checkipe

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

― James Clear, Atomic Habits

Checkipe is a place to create, improve, share, and use checklists.

Why have a site dedicated to checklists?

In arenas where human performance is a matter of life and death, like flying a plane or performing surgery, checklists are critical tools.

Why not use their power more generally?

Checklists are powerful:

• They help individuals track their progress
• They help teams coordinate jobs and tasks
• They encapsulate hard-won knowledge.
• They prevent errors.
• They guide behavior.
• They save time.
• They save lives.

Basic Checkipe usage

• Go to https://checkipe.com
• Create an account or log in using "Sign in with Google" button
• Create a checklist (called a recipe)
• Publish the recipe to share it or create a run to use it.
• Iterate on the recipe when you learn more, or create a new recipe.
• If you want to publish the recipe for all to see, press publish.
• If you want to share the recipe with only some people, create an org and attach the recipe to that org. Then post or send an invite link.

What are Recipes and what are Runs?

Recipes are checklists. A run tracks one usage of a recipe.

Since recipes are one of the more common types of checklists we call our checklists recipes. But most recipes are for processes in work or every day life rather than for creating a particular dish.

Often you create a recipe once and then follow it many times. We distinguish between the checklist and its usage with the terms recipe, which refers to the checklist, and run, which refers to tracking one iteration through that recipe.

So a typical flow for checkipe might be that you perform a task.
