Checky is a simple Android and accompanying Pebble application to view and manage checklists.
There’s already a ton of them out there, but none of them work exactly like I want them to (either on the Pebble or Android or both…)
PS: This is my first Android and Pebble app, both are severely flawed, I’m aware of it 😉 take it or leave it…
Android:
- Offline (no internet access whatsover)
- Uses external SD storage, making it easy to backup/copy or manually edit lists.
- Lists are simple text files, every row is an item, checked items start with a +
- app is very basic and could use some sprucing up (don’t count on it any time soon)
Download:
Can you find it In Google Play Store? Nope, You’ll have to download it here. I’m too cheap to fork over the $25 registration fee…
Pebble:
- Editing (only checking and unchecking item), saved immediately to phone.
- True offline mode (optional) (eg. selected lists are kept locally on the Pebble (4k limit)) (* there is no editing in true offline mode)
- long-press toggles offline caching.
- 5 items per screen (instead of the usual 3)
Download:
You can find it in the Pebble app store (link). Or search for “checky”.
You can download the original PBW v0.1 here .
 TODO / Wishlist
- better communication (robuster; use ids, commands, stack/queue) - i18n - clean up code / project - put code on github Checky ------ - update item should be acked (no way to know it was done now) - error screen as separate window for list so save error can be recovered w/o having to reload list - print text in list ourselves instead of padding - list_menu_select_callback should only update one cell not whole list (this might be a Pebble limitation, update speed seems ok-ish) Checky-Android -------------- - dirty check (be)for(e) saving lists - Update list after change of Pebble instead of reload whole list - do not overwrite original file when saving (eg. rename old > create new > delete old (or keep as backup)) - Changes are not pushed to Pebble (you need to close the Pebble app to refresh) - remove the onstartup code it should not be needed. - 2x newline required after items (manual input?) (android 5 / Zenfone2)
Checky is the ONLY pebble/android app that works well on shopping list! Great work!
Your project is open source? I have some suggestion / add on i’d like to introduce.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Luca,
I plan a grade-up/check-up/clean-up to the latest version of the Pebble SDK as soon as I receive my new Pebble Time, eg. to make sure everything still works.
And if I deem the code presentable enough I might even put it up on github… 🙂
If a can’t contribute i can give you some suggestions on little bugs:
– the android app install 2 icons (tested on Zenfone2, Android 5.0)
– it’s normal that every item needs 2 newline key to add another one?
Thanks in advance
Luca
I had already noticed the two icons, but hadn’t updated my todo list yet…
I have not come across the 2 newline issue before. The app was not made with android 5 or the new sdk. I will update/upgrade and see if it still persists then.
Cheers
Christopher
