FAQs

Q: Can I add or remove items?
A: Yes. Each section has a box to add your own item, and every item has an X button to remove it. Reset to Default brings back the original list for that section and removes your added items.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes, in your browser on this device. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: Does it check my connection or devices?
A: No. It is a reminder list. It does not test your internet or hardware.
Q: Does it depend on the platform?
A: No. It starts as the same list for any platform, so remove or skip items that do not apply.
