To-Do List

A simple to-do list saved in your browser.

  • No tasks yet. Add your first one above.

Your lists are saved only in this browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing your browser data deletes it.

When to use it

Use this to-do list to keep track of tasks without installing an app or creating an account. It is ideal for a daily plan, a packing list, a shopping list, a project checklist or chores at home. It opens instantly and remembers your lists in this browser.

How to use it

  1. Choose a List, or click New list and give it a name.
  2. Type in New task and press Enter or click Add.
  3. Tick a task when it is done. Tap its text to edit it, or drag it to change the order.
  4. Use the filters All, To do and Done to focus on what matters now.
  5. Click Remove completed to clear finished tasks.
  6. Use Copy as text to paste the list somewhere else, or Print for a paper copy.

Worked example

You are packing for a weekend trip. Create a list called “Trip”, then add passport, phone charger, toothbrush, rain jacket and tickets. Drag “passport” to the top, since it matters most. As you pack, tick each item. Switch to To do to see only what is left: rain jacket and tickets.

Before leaving, press Copy as text and send it to a friend who is coming:

Trip
☑ passport
☑ phone charger
☑ toothbrush
☐ rain jacket
☐ tickets

A simple daily routine

Each morning, open your list and pick the few tasks that really need doing today. Drag them to the top. During the day, tick them off as you go. In the evening, remove completed tasks and add anything new for tomorrow, so the list is ready when you start.

Tips

  • Keep tasks small and clear. “Email Sam about the invoice” is easier to start than “sort out invoices”.
  • Put the most important task first. Drag it to the top so it is the first thing you see.
  • Use separate lists. Mixing work and shopping in one list makes both harder to read.
  • Clear completed tasks often. A short list feels manageable.
  • Print a list for chores. A paper copy on the fridge works well for the whole family.

Common mistakes

  • Writing goals instead of tasks. “Get fit” is a goal. “Walk for 20 minutes” is a task you can tick off.
  • Adding too much for one day. Pick three to five tasks you can really finish.
  • Expecting the list on another device. It stays in this browser. Copy the text to move it.
