To-do list online (tasks and checklist)
This online to-do list keeps track of your tasks – as a checklist you tick off, with due dates, a priority star and a progress bar. It needs no account: the list stays in your browser storage and is never uploaded. You can print it, copy it or save it as a text file.

How it is calculated
A to-do list is the simplest form of self-organisation: write down what needs doing and tick off what is finished. This version runs entirely in your browser – no sign-up, no app, also on your phone.
How to make a to-do list
- Type a task and add it with Enter or “Add task”. Optionally set a due date and “Priority ★”.
- Tick off finished tasks with a tap; the progress bar shows how much is done.
- “Sort” puts open, priority and soon-due tasks on top. Use the arrows to reorder single tasks yourself.
As a checklist or from a template
For recurring routines a checklist works well: load a template (shopping list, packing list, moving), adjust it and tick it off again next time – “Reset all” starts the list over. Your own lists can be pasted from text: one task per line; markers such as [ ] and [x] or bullet characters are recognised.
Print, copy, save
“Print” outputs only the list, without page header and ads. “Copy as text” and “Download as text file” create a list with [ ] and [x] (the notation of GitHub task lists) that can be pasted into notes, chats and documents.
Where is the data stored?
- In your browser’s local storage (localStorage) on this device. Nothing is sent to a server.
- Another device or browser means another, empty list. To work across devices, copy the list as text.
- In a private window, or after clearing browser data, the list is gone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a to-do list online?
Type a task at the top and add it with Enter, then tick it off. No account is needed – the list is saved automatically in your browser.
Where is my to-do list stored?
Only in your browser’s local storage on this device. It is not uploaded. If you clear browser data or close a private window it is gone – so copy important lists as text.
Can I print my to-do list?
Yes, with “Print”. Only the list with title and progress is output, without controls. “Download as text file” gives you a file as well.
What is the difference between a to-do list and a checklist?
A to-do list collects changing tasks; a checklist is a fixed routine you tick off again and again (packing, moving). Both work here: load a template and restart with “Reset all”.
Can I take my list to another device?
Not automatically, because nothing sits on a server. Copy the list with “Copy as text” and paste it on the other device under “Paste a list from text”.
How many tasks fit in the list?
Up to 500 tasks of at most 200 characters each – more than enough for everyday use and without slowing the browser down.
