Frequently asked questions
Can you make a checklist in Notion?
Yes. Notion has to-do checkboxes you can add to any page. What it does not do is show a progress bar on a shared checklist, style each checklist for an audience, or embed as a standalone interactive checklist that people complete without a Notion account. Interact List is built for that.
Is Interact List a replacement for Notion?
No. Notion is a broad workspace for docs, databases, and wikis. Interact List does one thing (interactive checklists) and is designed to share and embed them. Many teams use both: Notion internally, Interact List for audience-facing checklists.
Do people need a Notion account to use my checklist?
To edit or tick items in Notion, people generally need access and a login. With Interact List, anyone can open a shared checklist by link and complete it with no account or install. Their progress is saved in the browser, so they can close the tab and resume where they left off on the same device.
