How are due dates calculated?

Each checklist item is scheduled by subtracting a fixed number of calendar days from your move date and grouping it into planning phases.

Does the checklist save progress?

Yes. Your checklist settings, custom tasks, and completed items are stored in your browser on the current device.

Can I print or copy the checklist?

Yes. The page includes print and copy actions so you can take the plan offline or share it with helpers.

How it works

1. The move date anchors the schedule. Each checklist item is assigned a due date by subtracting a fixed number of days from the move date. Dates are shown in your local calendar format.

2. Your selections change the task list. Long-distance moves add document and delivery-window tasks. Apartments add elevator and loading-zone reminders. Storage, kids, pets, and cleaning add specialized items.

3. Progress is simple and local. Checking a task updates the progress bar and summary. The page stores your generated plan in your browser so it is still there when you come back on the same device.

Assumptions and planning notes

Packing estimates Box counts are planning estimates based on home size, not inventory-level calculations. They are rounded to whole boxes for readability.

Utilities and address updates The checklist includes standard reminders for power, internet, mail forwarding, and account updates. Managed buildings may let you skip some of these items.

Copy and print behavior The copy action exports plain text with section headings and due dates. Print output removes most controls so the checklist is cleaner on paper.

This planner is for general organization only. Confirm mover requirements, lease terms, utility shutoff policies, school transfer rules, and pet or medical needs directly with the relevant providers.
