What is MD Checklist?
A checklist generator that converts a plain list into GitHub-flavored task list syntax, supporting pre-checked items and indented sub-items.
How it works
Each line becomes a - [ ] item; leading spaces create nested sub-items, and a toggle pre-checks selected items.
- Enter your input. Type or paste your input into the field above — the tool responds instantly.
- Review the result. Output updates live as you type. Everything runs entirely in your browser.
- Copy or download. Use the Copy button to grab the result, or Download to save it as a file.
Examples
Task lists
Turn a plain list of items into `- [ ]` checkboxes for tracking in GitHub, GitLab, and other GFM viewers.
Common mistakes
Plain Markdown renderers
Outside GFM viewers, checkboxes render as regular bullets — the boxes are a GitHub-Flavored extension.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mark some as done?
Yes — toggle items between `- [ ]` and `- [x]` before copying.
Does nesting work?
Yes — indented sub-items become nested checklist entries.
