Two columns and a line

What can wait,
and what someone
else can do

You already have the list. Somebody gave you one, or wrote you a letter, or said a few things over the phone. This puts the one you have in order, and marks the parts that do not need you.

Someone asked what they could do. This is how you answer without having to explain.

Two columns with a line between them. On the left, four items to be done by you, one of which is held up by something you are waiting on. On the right, two items that someone else could take on, and a third that has moved across from the left-hand column.

Three states, and no others

Can be started now
Nothing you told it about is holding this one up.
Held up by something
It repeats back what you said it is waiting on, and never tells you how to get that.
Someone else could do it
It does not need you to be the one who does it.
Settled
It goes paler than the rest. That is all that happens.

Nothing on this board counts anything. There is no total, no share completed and no item marked late.

You do not have to explain anything. Just paste or type the list you already have.

No account needed. Nothing is kept unless you ask for it.

A row of plain card file dividers with blank tabs, standing upright and evenly spaced.
A plain wooden filing cabinet with several shallow drawers, one drawer slightly open.

The sheet you send

Only the right-hand column, written out so the person receiving it does not have to come back and ask you anything.

Things you could take on

Sheet

  1. 01

    Collect the folder that is ready

    What it is
    Go to the counter and ask for the folder that is being held.
    Take with you
    The reference written at the top of this sheet.
  2. 02

    Post the envelope that is written

    What it is
    Take the sealed envelope and send it by recorded post.
    Take with you
    The envelope, and the receipt afterwards.

That is the whole sheet. There is nothing to sign up for on it, and no mark of ours anywhere on it.

Two shallow stacking paper trays, empty, seen from a three-quarter angle.

Three things happen

You bring the list. It brings the order.

There is no account to make first, and nothing to upload. Photographs of documents, letters and certificates are not accepted here at all — not as a feature we left out, but because they should not be passing through a website.

  1. A single blank sheet of paper lying flat beside an opened plain envelope on a desk.

    01

    Put in the list you already have

    Paste the letter, type out what you were told on the phone, or write it however it comes out. It does not have to be tidy, and it does not have to be in order — that is the part this does.

  2. Two stacks of blank paper on a desk with a single thin line drawn between them.

    02

    Look at the two columns

    The left is what stays with you. The right is what does not need you. Anything held up by something else says what it is held up by, in your own words. Nothing is added that you did not write.

  3. A plain blank card tag with a short length of string, lying flat on a surface.

    03

    Send the right-hand column to whoever asked

    It becomes one sheet with only those items on it, each written out with what it is and what to take along. Print it, or copy it as plain text into a message. There is no sign-up on it and no mark of ours.

Paper, and where it sits

Pictures of paper, and the things that hold it.

That is all any of this is: paper that needs putting in an order. There are no people in any of these, and nothing in them stands in for how anybody is supposed to feel. Nothing here is a picture of a real situation either, and none of it is a picture of a result — anything that stands for a reading of your list is drawn in the page itself, never generated.

Why the free plan is not cut down

The sheet you can send is the one part of this that genuinely takes something off a person. Putting a watermark across it, or holding it behind a payment, would be taking that away at exactly the wrong moment. So the free plan produces both columns and the sheet in full, unmarked, and there is no prompt on either of them asking you to pay for anything.

What is worth paying for is when your sister also needs a copy and you both need to be looking at the same list. That is what the paid plans are.

What each plan includes

Allowances do not carry over between months. There are no top-up packs and no stored balance.

Asked and answered

The questions that matter, answered without hedging.

What do you keep about the person this concerns?

Nothing. There is no field for a name, a date, a relationship or an address anywhere on this site, and none of it is wanted. If you happen to type something of that kind into your list, the server takes it out before anything is written down, rather than after.

You can go through the whole thing once — both columns and the sheet you can send — without making an account at all. If you do make one, everything you have written can be erased in a single action, and erasing means the record is removed, not hidden.

What you write is never used to train a model. Not ours, and not anybody else's.

Will you send me reminders?

No. This never contacts you about anything on your list. There are no notifications, no push messages, no nudges and no emails about what you have or have not done. That is not a setting you have to find and switch off; the ability is not in the software.

The only emails that ever arrive concern the subscription itself: a confirmation when you start one, a receipt for each payment, a notice before a subscription renews, and a confirmation when you end one. Those emails talk about money and dates of billing, and nothing else. They never mention a single item from your list.

What else do I need to do? Is anything missing from my list?

This does not have a list of its own. The official guidance where you are, and whoever is handling arrangements with you, will have the list — this only helps put the one you already have in order.

It will never add an item you did not mention, and it holds no procedures, no required documents and no methods for anywhere in the world. Rules differ a great deal between places and they change, which is exactly why nothing of that kind is stored here.

Is there a time limit on any of this?

This gives no information about time limits, and it will not hurry you. There are no dates in it, nothing counts down, and nothing is marked as late.

Where a limit does apply to something, it is the official guidance where you are that says so, not this. If an item you wrote might have one, that falls under what this cannot know, and it says so on the page rather than guessing.

What about wills, estates, tax, benefits, insurance or debts?

Those are entirely outside what this does. When an item you write touches any of them, it is taken out of both columns and set aside with one line: it needs someone qualified, it is not something to work out from a list, and it is not something this can help with.

No advice is given on any of it, no figures are produced, and no adviser, firm or organisation is recommended or linked to. There is no directory here, no partner, no featured anything.

How accurate is the sorting?

It reads the shape of what you wrote and nothing else: whether you said something is waiting on something, and whether the wording describes an errand that does not need you personally. It is a starting arrangement, not a ruling.

It will get some of them wrong, because only you know your own situation. Every item can be moved across the line by hand, by keyboard or by an explicit button as well as by dragging, and the arrangement you end up with is the one that counts.

It does not decide anything for you, and it must not be relied on as legal, financial, tax or professional advice of any kind.

Can I use it without paying?

Yes, and not in a cut-down way. On the free plan both columns and the sheet you can send are complete: no watermark, no stamp, no mark of ours, and no prompt on either of them asking you to upgrade.

The sheet is the one thing here that genuinely helps somebody, and putting a mark on it or holding it behind a payment is not something we are willing to do. Paying unlocks working on the same list with other people, and keeping things for the long term. That is all it unlocks.

How do I cancel, and what happens to the money?

There is a single button inside your account that ends the subscription. It takes one confirmation and no conversation: nothing appears offering you a discount, asking why, or trying to talk you out of it.

Because this is a digital service supplied immediately, you have a 14-day right to cancel from the day the contract is made, unless you asked for the service to start straight away and acknowledged that doing so ends that right once the service has been fully supplied. Both of those are separate tick boxes at checkout, neither of them ticked for you, and both are repeated back to you in the order email.

The full position, including the statutory cancellation form, is set out on the cancellation and refunds page.

What happens to my allowance if I do not use it?

Each plan comes with a monthly allowance, and it does not carry over into the next month. There are no top-up packs and no stored balance, because an allowance here is not money: it cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to anyone, or refunded as a balance.

If a month's allowance is not enough, the only thing to do is move to a larger plan, and you can move back down again whenever you want.

Who can use it?

Anyone aged 18 or over. Accounts and subscriptions are not available to anyone under 18.

It is written in English, priced in US dollars, and available worldwide. It is operated from the United Kingdom.
