Bucket List
Capture life goals and tick them off as you go.
Overview
The Bucket List is a place to write down the experiences you actually want to have before life gets in the way. Travel destinations, skills to learn, books to write, mountains to climb, conversations to have with people while you still can. Each item gets a short description, an optional category, and a status that lets you mark it as planned, in progress, or done. The list grows with you, and ticking items off is satisfying in a way that calendar reminders never quite manage.
Where this differs from a generic to-do list is in tone and timeframe. Bucket-list items are aspirations measured in years, not weeks, and the interface reflects that. There is no overdue red text, no nagging badges, no productivity scoring. The point is to have the list at all, and to revisit it occasionally when you are choosing what to do with a weekend or a sabbatical.
How it works
You add items with a title and an optional description and category. Status changes are a single click, and completed items move to a separate "done" view that doubles as a small museum of things you actually did. Items can be reordered, edited, and deleted at any time.
Everything is stored locally in your browser. There is no account to create, no list to share unless you choose to copy and paste it, and no risk of a startup shutting down and taking your dreams with it.
Examples
- Adding "see the northern lights" with a note about preferred months and tagged under travel.
- Listing "learn conversational Spanish to B1 level" with a target year, status set to in progress.
- Capturing "run a half marathon" with a placeholder race in mind, status planned.
- Marking "publish a short story" as done, with the publication date in the notes.
FAQ
Is there a limit on items?
Practical limits are generous. You will run out of life before you run out of storage.
Can I categorise items?
Yes. A simple category field lets you group travel, career, creative, relationships, and so on.
Can I share my list?
Not directly. You can copy completed or pending items as text into a message, document, or social post.
What happens to completed items?
They are moved to a done view and stay there as a record. You can still edit or remove them.
Should I add wildly unrealistic things?
Yes. The list is for aspirations, not commitments. Unrealistic items often turn out to be the most clarifying about what you actually want.
