About PrepMyList

PrepMyList is a free online checklist generator that helps you create, customize, and use practical checklists for real-life tasks. You can start from a template or from a blank checklist, then edit items, add notes, track progress, and export or share your checklist in seconds.

What PrepMyList is (and isn't)

PrepMyList is designed for people who want a checklist they can actually use — not a static list to read. It focuses on fast setup, editable items, and practical outputs like a print-ready PDF or a CSV for spreadsheets.

PrepMyList is not a project management suite and not an account-first app. You can get started immediately without signing up.

How it works

  1. Choose a checklist (or start from blank).
  2. Customize the items: add your own tasks, remove anything you don't need, and add notes.
  3. Use it: check items off as you go and update your checklist when plans change.
  4. Export or share: download a PDF for printing, export CSV for Excel/Google Sheets, or share your checklist when you're done.

Key features

  • No signup required: start using checklists immediately.
  • Templates + "Start from blank": use a ready-made template or build your own from scratch.
  • Edit items and add notes: adapt the checklist to your situation.
  • Progress tracking: check items off as you complete them.
  • Export: generate a print-ready PDF or a CSV for spreadsheets.
  • Sharing: share a checklist via link and QR code for quick access on mobile.
  • Embedding options: embed checklists in different formats depending on context — from a blog-friendly embedded view to a more app-like view.
  • Mobile-first: built to work well on phones when you're on the go.

Checklist types you can create

PrepMyList covers multiple use cases and is expanding into additional checklist categories over time. Current examples include:

  • Road Trip checklists with a setup flow that adapts items to your trip details (e.g., travel length, accommodation, climate, remoteness, and connectivity).
  • Car Maintenance checklists with a setup flow that adapts tasks based on vehicle type and whether you track maintenance by time or mileage.
  • Reference-style templates (for example: holiday lists) that you can use as-is or convert into your own editable checklist.

Why templates matter

Templates are starting points. A good checklist is rarely "one size fits all," so PrepMyList templates are built to be edited. You can use a template as a quick reference, or click Customize to turn it into your own working checklist: add personal items, remove irrelevant entries, add notes, and export the final version.

Embedding: built for real publishing workflows

Some checklists are best used inside an app-like flow. Others work better inside a blog post where the checklist should be left-aligned and feel native to the page. PrepMyList supports multiple embed formats so creators can choose what fits their content and layout.

Privacy and data handling (high-level)

PrepMyList is designed to be lightweight and simple to use. Where possible, it avoids collecting unnecessary personal data and lets users start without an account. If you need formal details, please refer to the site's Privacy/Legal information.
