Please consider adding ability to export checklist as plaintext. Currently I can export checklist only as JSON:

[{"dateCreated":1653907613810,"id":1,"isDone":false,"title":"Foo"},{"dateCreated":1653907613810,"id":2,"isDone":true,"title":"Bar"},{"dateCreated":1653907613810,"id":3,"isDone":false,"title":"Baz"}]

I'd like to get human-readable text for sharing with someone on messengers etc., could be something like this:

☐ Foo
☑ Bar
☐ Baz

or

✘ Foo
✔ Bar
✘ Baz

Yes, it would be nice if at least the share option sends plain text. However, I think there shouldn't be an additional option in the menu.

Instead of using unicode characters, Markdown task list is a pretty suitable format for this:
- [ ] Foo
- [x] Bar
It's easy to read and to edit. And when you open the exported text file in a Markdown application, the items get rendered as checkboxes. Even GitHub Flavored Markdown supports it:

  • Foo
  • Bar
