How to use the To-Do List
- Type a task and press Enter. Add a due date or priority if you need one.
- Tick a task when it’s done. Click its text to edit it.
- Use the + List button to keep work, home and shopping apart.
- Close the page whenever you like: your tasks will be here when you return.
A to-do list without the account
Most task apps ask you to sign up before you can write anything down. This one opens ready to use. Tasks are saved in your browser, so they’re private and work offline, and there’s nothing to install.
Make your list work
- Keep tasks small. “Write intro” gets done; “finish report” gets put off.
- Pick three for today. Mark them high priority and sort by priority.
- Give deadlines to what has one. Overdue tasks show in red, so nothing slips.
For recurring routines, try the Habit Tracker. To measure time on a task, use the Pomodoro Timer.
Also searched as: online to do list, todo list, task list, free to do list, checklist online, daily task list, to do list no sign up.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data saved?
In this browser, on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Use Export to keep a backup or move your data to another device. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the page and start typing.
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, tasks are saved on your device, and adding or ticking them doesn’t need a connection.
How do I move my tasks to another device?
Click Export to download a backup file, then use Import on the other device.
Can I install To-Do List as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. To-Do List is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
