Free Daily Checklist That Resets Every Day: Best Options

“Resets every day” can mean two different things:

• a list becomes blank daily, or
• tasks recur daily when completed.

A true blank-slate model exists in some tools. In Microsoft To Do, the My Day list resets every night, while unfinished tasks stay in your main task store.

A “recurring task” model exists in many to-do apps. For example, Todoist explains that when you complete a task with a recurring date, it shifts to the next occurrence automatically. That’s useful, but it’s not the same as “same checklist items reappear unchecked every morning” unless the app recreates or resets subtasks in a way you like.

A common free workaround is using a checklist in Google Keep and manually resetting it. Third-party guides describe using an “Uncheck all items” option to restore a checklist quickly. However, Google’s product forum discussions indicate Keep does not automatically uncheck boxes on a recurring reminder schedule (so automation is limited).

If you want “open app → your leaving-home list is ready every day automatically,” a dedicated daily-reset checklist app is usually the cleanest interpretation of the intent behind this keyword—because it eliminates fiddly workarounds and reduces reliance on memory under stress.
