To-Do List

Build a printable checklist, or print a blank template to fill in by hand.

Build a checklist on screen and print it, or print an empty one to fill in with a pen. Each item gets a check box; add as many rows as you need, choose a colour theme and page width, and print.

How it works

The sheet you see on screen is exactly what prints. The check boxes are drawn as empty squares for ticking by hand, so the list is meant to live on paper rather than be checked off on screen.

Your list is saved in this browser as you type, so it is there when you come back.

How to use it

Click the title at the top of the sheet to rename the list.
Type into the Item boxes. Add more with “+ Add row”, or remove one with ×.
Choose a Color theme and Page width.
Click Print (with 100% scale and headers and footers off).

Options & controls

The list

Title: The heading at the top of the sheet, an editable box. Default: “My To-Do List”.
Item: One task per row, next to an empty check box. The list starts with six blank rows.
Remove item (×): Deletes that row. It appears at the right end of each row on screen and is not printed.
+ Add row: Adds a blank row at the bottom.

Print and page settings (shared by every printable)

Color theme: Five swatches — Slate (default), Ink Blue, Forest, Sepia and Mono — that recolour the text, ruled lines and section headings on the sheet. Mono is pure black, best for black-and-white printers. The selected swatch has a ring around it.
Page width: A6 (105 mm), A5 (148 mm), B5 (176 mm), A4 (210 mm, default) or Letter (215.9 mm). This is how wide the sheet is when printed. It does not choose your paper — pick that in the print dialog — but a narrower width leaves room to print smaller cards or half-pages, and one that matches your paper fills it edge to edge. On a phone the on-screen sheet is never wider than the screen.
Print: Opens your browser's print dialog for the sheet. Only the sheet itself is printed: the buttons, pickers, remove (×) buttons, “+ Add row” links and the page-break guides are left out, and so is the grey placeholder text in empty fields.
Reset: In the title row. After you confirm a warning (“Clear this list and start over? This can't be undone.”), it restores the title and six blank rows, the Slate theme and the A4 page width.
Page break guides: If the sheet is longer than one page, dashed lines labelled “Page 2”, “Page 3” and so on appear on screen to show roughly where each new A4 page will start. They are an estimate to help you avoid a row being cut in half, and they never print.

Tips & guidelines

Put the most important item first — rows cannot be reordered, but you can retype or delete and re-add them.
Six blank rows and “+ Add row” give you a template for any checklist: packing lists, chores, meeting agenda.
In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% (or “Actual size”) and turn off “Headers and footers”. Otherwise the browser shrinks the sheet and adds a date and web address to the page.
For a blank template to fill in by hand, leave the fields empty (or press Reset and confirm) and print. Empty rows print as blank lines and empty boxes.
Use Print preview first to check where the page breaks fall, and choose the paper size and orientation there.
Prefer the Mono theme when printing in black and white, so light colours do not come out too faint.

Limits

The template is one fixed layout; you can change the rows, text and colours but not the arrangement of the sections.
Check boxes are drawn empty for ticking with a pen — they cannot be ticked on screen.
The layout is designed for portrait pages.
Items are plain text: no due dates, priorities or sub-tasks.

Saved in your browser

The title, all the items, and your theme and page-width choices are saved in this browser's local storage, on this device only, so the list is there next visit. Nothing is sent anywhere. Reset clears it, and clearing this site's data in your browser does too.
