Build List

What it is

A lightweight checklist app that runs in your browser. Make a list for each project, add tasks, tick them off and watch the progress bar fill up. No account, no cloud.

Features

• Multiple projects, each with its own tasks.
• Add tasks (press Enter to keep adding), tick done, remove.
• Progress bar and done/total count per list.
• Your lists stay in your browser.
• Backup file and restore (restore merges tasks into lists with the same name).

What you need

• Python 3 (any current version). It's only used as a tiny local web server; no extra packages.
• A modern browser: Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
• Tested on Linux. Windows and macOS start scripts are included.

How to install

1. Download the zip below, check its SHA-256 and unzip it.
2. Open the build-list-1.0.0 folder.
3. Windows: double-click run.bat. Mac/Linux: run ./run.sh in a terminal in that folder.
4. Open http://127.0.0.1:8102 in your browser. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop it.

Where your data is stored

Saved in your browser's local storage for http://127.0.0.1:8102 on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded. If you clear browser data, switch browsers or change the port, the app starts empty.

Outside sites it contacts

• None. Build List makes no internet requests.

Good to know

• Not encrypted. Lists are stored as plain text in the browser.
• Make backups with ⬇ Backup (a readable, unencrypted file). Clearing browser data without one deletes your lists.
• No sync or sharing.
