Brand new DA40 NG owner here. Less than a week old, and I’m trying to figure it all out as I’m sure you all did as well. I am trying to figure out if I can make a checklist on a Mac, but I can’t seem to find a program for G1000 checklists that runs on Mac. Any thoughts (besides buy a Windows PC) would be greatly appreciated.

Can you create a G1000nxi checklist on a Mac OS?

Re: Can you create a G1000nxi checklist on a Mac OS?
I don't know the answer to your question, but Garmin is very PC centric so I doubt it. The Garmin Database Manager for your G1000NXi database subscription does not work with MacOS Ventura, despite it having been available to developers for months.
On a practical level, I suggest you consider MiraCheck. You can suppress the voice features and use it as a very programmable checklist on your phone or iPad. I've been using it now for about three years and while the programming UI and features are a little quirky, it's a great tool for creating a customized checklist. The quick jump to a "birdseye view" of the Emergency Checklists is very useful.
If it helps, attached is the current PDF of the Diamond training, but technically not official, checklist for the 40NG.

Thank you boatguy. I was afraid of that answer, but I didn’t even think about just having the checklists on my iPad. I’m sure it beats flipping through the checklist Diamond provided with the plane.

There is a checklist available for the g1000 nxi. See this discussion: https://diamondaviators.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8549
I have it installed but end up using a laminated copy of the paper checklist.
