Templates
Holiday packing, weekend, day hike, camping, weekly shopping, moving house (in chronological steps), back to school, hospital bag, ski trip and “before leaving on holiday”. Each template can be freely edited: add, delete, rename, move.
Print and share
Printing gives a clean list in 1, 2 or 3 columns, with tick boxes, sections and blank lines to complete by hand. The share link sends a copy: whoever opens it adds it to their own lists. Text, spreadsheet and JSON exports let you keep or re-import it.
Where are my lists kept?
In your browser, on this device. Export “all my lists” to back them up or move them to another device.
How to use it
- Create a list from a template or a blank page. You can keep several lists side by side (holidays, shopping, moving house…) and switch between them.
- Add items with an optional quantity (3 T-shirts, 2 chargers…) and group them into sections with the “+ Section” button. In imported text, a line starting with
#creates a section (“# Bathroom”) and “3 x T-shirt” sets a quantity. - Edit in place by clicking an item's text; move it up or down, or delete it.
- Tick items off as you go: the progress bar fills up, and you can hide ticked items or untick everything to reuse the list next time.
- Print in 1, 2 or 3 columns with empty boxes and blank lines, or share the list with a link. You can also import a list pasted from an email or a text file.
Example of a well-built list
A good list follows the order in which you will act. For a suitcase, group by room or by stage of preparation:
- # The day before: charge phone and power bank, print tickets, water the plants.
- # Documents: ID card or passport, health insurance card (EHIC/GHIC), bookings.
- # Clothes: 5 x underwear, 3 x T-shirts, 1 x jumper, 1 x rain jacket.
- # Toiletries, # Health (medicines, prescriptions), # Electronics (chargers, plug adapter).
- # Just before leaving: turn off water and gas, take the bins out, check the windows.
Quantities usually depend on trip length: for 7 days with a chance to do laundry, pack for 4.
Why checklists work
Checklists are used in aviation and surgery because they unload working memory: you stop trying to remember and simply check. To stay useful, a list should be short, contain only concrete actions, and be reviewed after each use to add whatever was missing.
Ideas
- Families: back-to-school list printed and ticked with the kids, shopping list shared by link.
- Teachers and youth leaders: kit for a school trip, attendance list to tick, lab preparation.
- Clubs and charities: equipment for a stall or a tournament, tasks for the big day.
- Moving house: the template is chronological, from two months before (notice, quotes) to the day itself (meter readings).
Your lists stay with you
Lists are kept in this device's browser, with no account. The share link contains the list itself (nothing is stored on a server). Export “all my lists” from time to time to keep a backup.
