FAQs

Q: Does the checklist depend on which city I am moving to?
A: No. Everyone starts with the same list of 10 general tasks. It does not know your city, country or how long you are staying. You can add your own tasks and remove the ones you do not need.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: Is the order a required order?
A: No. The groups are only a way to organize the tasks. Do them in whatever order suits your move.
