Checkvist is a keyboard-focused online outliner. It was created in 2008.{{cite web |title = We want to call it a “beta release” |url = https://blog.checkvist.com/post/44558802/we-want-to-call-it-a-beta-release |first1 = Kirill |last1 = Maximov |first2 = Sasha |last2 = Maximova |date = 3 August 2008 |website = Checkvist Blog |accessdate = 19 March 2021 }} by Kirill Maximov and Sasha Maximova, who remain its main developers. It emerged as an experiment to develop a web-based productivity tool featuring the same kind of rich keyboard-based operation that code editors typically allow.{{cite web |last = Keren |first = Ditsa |title = Create Better Checklists with Checkvist Keyboard Shortcuts |url = https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/checkvist-interview/ |website = Website Planet |date = 26 January 2021 |accessdate = 19 March 2021 }}

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Checkvist is the focus on primarily designing its functionality around the keyboard.{{cite web |last = Zukerman |first = Erez |title = 5 free Web Tools to organize your thoughts |date = 30 September 2013 |url = https://www.pcworld.com/article/2038607/5-free-tools-to-organize-your-thoughts.html |website = PC World |access-date = 13 March 2021 }}{{cite web |url = https://lifehacker.com/checkvist-simplifies-outlines-5100400 |title = Checkvist Simplifies Outlines |last = Trapani |first = Gina |authorlink = Gina Trapani |website = Lifehacker |date = 1 December 2008 |accessdate = 19 March 2021 }}

Every action in the outliner is accessible via a dedicated shortcut, often making use of key sequences such as {{keypress|e}}{{Keypress|e}} for editing a list item. Help pages, contextual cheatsheets and the {{Keypress|Shift}}{{Keypress|Shift}} shortcut{{cite web |title = All-in-one command finder |first = Sasha |last = Maximova |url = https://blog.checkvist.com/post/635063846653083648/all-in-one-command-finder |date = 17 November 2020 |website = Checkvist Blog |access-date = 13 March 2021 }} all allow accessing the breadth of available shortcuts.

Checkvist operates under a freemium model, and is funded solely by the money paid by subscribers to the pro version. The tool supports importing and exporting content in various formats, including plain text, HTML, and OPML, and supports inviting others to collaborate on lists.
