I treasure a long-obsolete app from Foreflight, which was once available free, called Checklist Lite. I've managed to keep it on the various iPad upgrades, but if it ever went I would find myself wrestling with over-long generic paper checklists again. I've long been puzzled by the ommision of such a universally valuable and presumably simple add-on to Sky Demon, which I'm sure the majority of pilots would use and would save me personally from having to switch apps right at the point of take off. And the Sky Demon team would implement it very elegantly, I'm sure.

I've recently had another look around for something for Android that would do this. Not too much out there, and what there is doesn't seem to be particularly actively developed.

Would be excellent if this could be built into SkyDemon.

I'd be interested in:

Pre-start (i.e. you've finished the walk around and are getting ready to start the engine)
Start
Power checks
Pre-takeoff
After landing
Shutdown
After flight actions.

Anything else (like taxy, pre-landing etc.) I personally probably wouldn't use, as anything that should be done while the aircraft is moving should really be done from memory IMO.

I'd anticipate something in the aircraft editor that would let you define a checklist for that aircraft. Then a checklist editor that lets you create 'groups' (like the headings above) and within that group, add individual checklist items.

Then in SkyDemon, when in 'Go Flying' mode, you could pick a checklist group from the menu, and have SkyDemon run you through it, requiring you to tick on each item as you do it.
