Shift Checklist
A three-state shift checklist that resets itself at 0600L.
The problem
A shift checklist has to reset without losing what happened yesterday
A recurring checklist only works if it actually starts over. Carry yesterday's checkmarks into today and the list stops meaning anything. But reset it the wrong way and there's no record left of what actually got done on a given day, which becomes its own problem the moment someone asks about yesterday specifically.
And a single list shared by day, swing, and mid isn't really a shift checklist: it's one list several shifts are working from at once, when what's actually needed is each shift seeing only its own items.
How it works
One tap per item, a new day right on schedule
- 01
Day, swing, and mid, each their own section
Items are grouped by shift, so the checklist in front of you only ever shows what your shift is actually responsible for.
- 02
One tap cycles the state
Unchecked, completed, or marked N/A: each item cycles through its three states with a single tap, with no separate buttons to find.
- 03
The day turns over on your base's own schedule
At your base's configured reset time (0600 local by default), the checklist starts clean for the new day, with nothing to clear by hand.
- 04
Past days stay in history
A superseded day doesn't disappear. Open history to see any past day's checklist exactly as it was left, item by item, with who completed it and when.
The benefit
What it automates
Each shift sees only its own list
Day, swing, and mid items are grouped separately, so nobody's scanning past items that were never theirs to begin with.
Resetting doesn't erase the record
The checklist starts clean at the configured reset time, but prior days are still sitting in history, not overwritten.
Weekly and monthly items show up only when they're due
An item that only matters on a specific day of the week or month appears that day and stays out of the way otherwise.

FAQ
Straight answers
What are the three states an item can be in?
Unchecked, completed, or marked N/A: one tap cycles through all three, so logging an item never takes more than a tap.
When does the checklist reset for a new day?
At your base's configured reset time, 0600 local by default. The next person to open the checklist after that gets a fresh one for the new day, with nothing to clear by hand.
Can I see a previous day's checklist?
Yes. History keeps checklists from past days, including which items were done, which were marked N/A, and who completed each one.
Is this the same as the Daily Reviews sign-off?
No. The Shift Checklist is a same-day list that resets on its own schedule. Daily Reviews is the separate queue that confirms the day's overall record is complete.
