checkpoint is a free, open-source app for your Mac or iPhone that helps you test software more intelligently. It connects to your project management tools—like Jira or Linear—and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically write detailed test plans for you. Instead of spending hours figuring out what to test, checkpoint creates clear, step-by-step instructions in seconds.
Think of it as a smart assistant that reads your project’s tasks and tells you exactly what to check before you release new features. You can use it with popular AI services like Claude, OpenAI, or even run it completely offline with local AI models.
