About Todo List
Add tasks, tick them off, clear what is done. It opens immediately and remembers your list between visits.
The deliberate absence of features is the point. Most task managers accumulate projects, tags, priorities, due dates and recurring rules until maintaining the system becomes its own task โ and the tool you were going to use to get organised becomes the thing you are avoiding. A list you can add to in two seconds gets used.
One habit makes any list work better: write the next physical action rather than the project. 'Sort out the insurance' sits untouched for weeks because it is not clear what to do first. 'Find the policy number in the filing box' can actually be started. Vague items are the main reason lists stall, and the fix is in the wording rather than the tool.
Tasks are stored in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and no account exists. That also means the list is tied to this browser on this device.
How to use Todo List
- Type a task and press enter to add it.
- Tick items off as you complete them.
- Clear completed tasks when the list gets long.
Frequently asked questions
Are my tasks saved?
Yes, in your browser's local storage, so the list is there when you return. It is not synced to an account and does not survive clearing site data.
Why are there no due dates or projects?
Deliberate simplicity. Feature-heavy task managers often become a maintenance job in themselves. A list you can add to in two seconds is the one that actually gets used.
How do I stop tasks sitting on the list for weeks?
Write the next physical action rather than the project. 'Sort out the insurance' stalls because the first step is unclear; 'find the policy number in the filing box' can be started immediately.
Can I use it on my phone and laptop together?
Not as one synced list โ storage is per-device and per-browser. That is the same property that keeps it private with no account.
