To-Do List
A clean online to-do list that saves as you type โ no account needed.
About this to-do list
Type a task, press Enter, tick it off when it's done. There is nothing to install and no account to make โ the list saves itself on your device as you type, so closing the tab loses nothing. Come back tomorrow and it's exactly where you left it.
Double-click any task to edit it, filter by what's left or what's finished, and clear the done pile in one click when it gets long. That's the whole tool, on purpose.
Why a plain list still beats the apps
Most to-do apps fail the same way: the system becomes the task. Projects, tags, priorities, sync conflicts โ by the time the list is organised, the energy for the work has gone. A flat list you can see all of at once has survived every productivity fashion because it matches how small days actually run.
The reliable pattern is three moves: write everything down the moment it occurs to you, keep today's list short enough to actually finish, and let ticking things off do the motivating. The strike-through is not decoration โ finished items staying visible is what makes the day feel like progress rather than a treadmill.
Tips for a list you'll actually keep
- Start tasks with a verb. โEmail the landlordโ gets done; โlandlordโ gets stared at.
- Break anything vague in two. If a task has sat for three days, it's usually two tasks wearing one name.
- Keep one list, not five. The moment tasks live in several places, checking the list stops being trustworthy.
- Clear the done pile weekly. A fresh page keeps the list feeling current instead of archaeological.
Frequently asked questions
Where is my list stored?
In your browser's local storage, on your device only. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account โ which also means the list won't follow you to a different browser or device, and clearing site data clears the list.
Will my tasks still be here tomorrow?
Yes. The list saves itself on every change, so you can close the tab or restart the computer and pick up exactly where you left off โ as long as you use the same browser and don't clear its site data.
Can I edit a task after adding it?
Yes โ double-click the task text (or use the pencil button), change it, and press Enter. Escape cancels the edit.
Is there a limit to how many tasks I can add?
No practical one. Browsers give local storage several megabytes, which is tens of thousands of tasks โ the real limit is what a single list can usefully hold.
Do I need to sign up?
No. No account, no email, no app. Open the page and start typing โ that's the point of the tool.
