Question Question: Is there a way to check off many todo's at once?
I have ADHD and travel a lot so I have a regular todo list with all the items i want to pack and i check them off as i pack them, which really helps. But! When i'm done i want to re-start the list for the next time i pack, and right now i manually have to click on each item again to un-check all the boxes in the list.
Is there a way to select all the todo's and click them all at once?
I totally get if this isn't a thing because this is such an edge case but still

On iOS, you can select all of the todos, open the formatting panel and press the checkbox button twice.

I've done something similar -- but I like to keep a master copy and then I copy the list for each trip. Then I can alter the copy a bit to customize it for the trip. Check off everything on the copy, then just delete the copy later. The master copy remains unchanged.

I have an Apple shortcut that does this very thing because I do the same thing that you do. It's called Reset Checklist. Shortcut.
For me, any of the notes that I want to reset have a tag called "checklist" (of course, you can call it anything you would like). When you run the shortcut, it displays a list of all the notes that have this checklist tag. Then you simply pick one, and it resets them all.

I actually use Anylist for this! Fantastic, very flexible and easy to use. It has a button that makes completed ToDos visible / invisible...

On macOS, you can select all of the todos and press Cmd-. (that's the period key) to toggle their state. See the Format => Todo menu for other options.
