Examples & Use Cases

Real-world ways people use the Markdown Checklist tool to stay on track

Working Examples

Below are practical checklists showing how people use the tool for operations, projects, incident response, and more. Each one benefits from collapsible sections, progress tracking, and distraction-free focus.

System Maintenance

Use for recurring tasks like server patching or monthly cleanup. Break sections into critical, standard, and optional — and keep track of where you're at as you work.

# Monthly Server Maintenance ## Critical - Restart database servers - Apply OS security patches - Renew SSL certificates ## Standard - Clean up old logs - Check disk usage - Update monitoring agents ## Optional - Review user permissions - Optimise database indexes - Archive old data
Try This Example
Project Launch

For go-lives, this helps manage everything from prep to post-launch. Especially useful when the deadline is looming and details risk getting lost.

# Project Go-Live Checklist ## Week Before - Security review - Load test production - Finalise rollback plan ## Launch Day - Deploy to production - Update DNS - Monitor logs and alerts ## Post Launch - Gather feedback - Review incidents - Schedule retrospectives
Try This Example
Security Incident Response

Designed for clarity under pressure. When something breaks or is breached, a well-structured checklist removes guesswork.

# Incident Response Checklist ## Immediate - Isolate affected systems - Notify internal teams - Preserve logs and evidence ## Investigation - Review logs - Identify attack vector - Document timeline ## Recovery - Patch vulnerabilities - Communicate with stakeholders - Update documentation
Try This Example
Code Review

Make code review less ambiguous with a shared process. Helpful for onboarding, quality control, and making sure the basics aren't missed.

# Code Review Checklist ## Functionality - Feature works as described - Edge cases handled ## Code Quality - Consistent naming - Comments where needed ## Tests - Unit tests added - CI/CD passes ## Docs - README/changelog updated

🔧 Other Use Cases

People also use it for onboarding, audits, runbooks, and even travel planning — anywhere a list of steps benefits from visibility and structure.

⚡ Paste & Go

Already have a markdown list? Just paste it into the tool and start ticking things off. The UI gets out of the way so you can focus on what's left to do.

🔒 Private by Design

Like the tool itself, these examples work fully in your browser. No tracking, no external data handling — safe for sensitive or internal workflows.
