What is Markdown Checklist Tracker?
Markdown Checklist Tracker reads task-list syntax and turns it into a progress summary. Paste Markdown that uses - [x] and - [ ] items to see completed tasks, pending tasks, total tasks, and completion percentage. The tool is useful for README checklists, release plans, documentation reviews, and sprint notes.
How does Markdown Checklist Tracker work?
This tool scans Markdown lines for task-list markers, counts checked and unchecked items, and calculates completion as checked items divided by total checklist items. Nested checklist items are included because the marker can appear after indentation.
