Quiet software for loud lives.
Checklistor is a checklist workspace built on an old-fashioned idea: a tool should do its job, keep your data to itself, and get out of the way.
Why it exists
Most checklist apps are either lead magnets for project-management suites or ad-stuffed printables. Both treat your plans as their product. We wanted the third thing: a serious, fast checklist tool where everything stays on your device — no account, no cloud sync you didn't ask for, no tracking pixel watching you plan your wedding.
How it works under the hood
Checklistor is a static site. There is no application server, no database and no user table — the pages you load are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and your lists are stored by your own browser (localStorage). Even shared checklists travel inside the link itself, compressed and encoded, so no copy ever lands on a server. That architecture is the privacy policy.
What it will never become
- No accounts, plans or paywalls — the whole tool is free.
- No “workspace for teams” pivot — this is a checklist tool, not project-management software.
- No third-party trackers. If we ever add usage analytics, it will be cookieless and announced in the changelog.
Who makes it
Checklistor is part of plainforge, a small independent studio building privacy-first web tools that work without logins. Questions, ideas, bug reports: hello@plainforge.com.
