I'm working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app.

I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window...

I tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn't get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

I should note i do not have a server available to self host. I could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.

Syncthing with Obsidian

Another would be a python flask app on a free hosting solution. Benefit here is that it increases your python skills.

Obsidian.md has mobile versions, apparently. Whether there is a free sync feature for the ios version will be a Q.
