What is the Todo List?

A todo list online keeps your tasks visible and checkable from any device with a browser. Ours is deliberately simple: type a task, press add, tick it off when done. Everything autosaves to your browser’s local storage, so your list survives refreshes and closed tabs with no account required.

Filter buttons let you view all tasks, only the active ones, or only completed items, and a counter shows how many remain. One click clears all completed tasks when you want a fresh slate, and deleting a single task takes one tap. There are no projects, tags or complexity to learn — just the satisfying feeling of checking things off.

It is free forever, works on phones and desktops, and stores everything locally on your device, so your tasks are never uploaded anywhere. Pair it with the pomodoro timer on this site: one task per 25-minute focus block is a proven productivity combination. A task written down is a task half-managed: externalizing your to-dos frees your mind from juggling them and gives every day a visible finish line. This list keeps the mechanics invisible — add, check, filter — so all your attention stays on the work itself.

How to use the Todo List

  1. Type your task into the input box and press Add (or Enter) to put it on the list.
  2. Click the checkbox beside any task to mark it complete — it moves to the done state with a strikethrough.
  3. Use the All / Active / Completed filters to focus on what still needs doing.
  4. Delete any single task with its remove button, or clear all finished tasks at once with Clear completed.
  5. Your list autosaves continuously, so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off.

Todo List use cases

Daily planning

Start each morning by listing the day’s must-dos. Checking items off through the day gives visible progress and a clear stopping point. Review the list each evening and carry unfinished items forward deliberately, not guiltily.

Shopping and errands

Keep a running list on your phone: groceries, pharmacy, post office. Tick items off in the store and never forget the milk again. Share the downloaded list with family so everyone shops from the same page.

Work task tracking

Break projects into small checkable steps. A concrete list beats a vague sense of ‘lots to do’ for both focus and end-of-day reporting. Checking off subtasks through the day makes progress visible to managers without extra reporting.

Event and trip checklists

Packing lists, party prep and moving-day tasks all fit naturally in a simple list you can check off as you go. Duplicate the packing list each trip rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

Habit reminders

Recurring daily tasks like ‘water the plants’ or ‘take vitamins’ work well as list items you re-add each morning. Daily recurring items pair well with the habit tracker for streak-style motivation.

Tips

  • Keep tasks small and concrete — ’email Sarah the invoice’ gets done; ‘sort out finances’ gets postponed.
  • Limit your daily list to three to five must-dos; a 20-item list just creates guilt.
  • Use the Active filter during the day to hide completed items and keep your focus on what remains.
  • For building streaks rather than one-off tasks, the habit tracker on this site is the better tool.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up?
No. The todo list works immediately with no account. Your tasks are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device, so there is nothing to register for and no data leaves your computer. Your tasks appear instantly and autosave — the only setup is typing your first task.
Will my tasks still be there tomorrow?
Yes. The list autosaves continuously and reloads exactly as you left it when you reopen the page — completed states included. Only clearing your browser's site data will erase it. Completed checkmarks persist too, so yesterday's finished work stays visibly done.
Can I see only my unfinished tasks?
Yes. The Active filter shows just the tasks you have not completed yet, which is perfect for focusing during the workday without the distraction of finished items. The Completed filter is equally useful for end-of-day reviews of what you accomplished.
How do I delete tasks?
Each task has its own delete button for one-off removals, and the Clear completed button wipes all finished tasks at once when you want a clean slate. Deleted tasks are gone immediately, so clear completed items only when you are sure.
Does it sync between my phone and computer?
No — tasks stay local to the browser where you created them, which keeps them private. For cross-device lists, copy your tasks into a synced notes app. This local-only design is also why the list loads instantly and works offline.
Can I reorder tasks by priority?
Tasks appear in the order you added them, newest at the bottom. A simple trick: delete and re-add a task to move it, or keep your daily list short enough that order barely matters. Alternatively, prefix tasks with numbers like '1.', '2.' to force your own ordering.
Is the todo list free?
Yes — free, unlimited and no signup. Add as many tasks as you like, on any device with a browser. Manage unlimited tasks every day — free forever with no account required. Manage unlimited tasks every day — free forever, with no account and no catches.
