About this tool
Create a personalised moving checklist organised by countdown phase. Track tasks, add custom items, and export your plan.
Moving Checklist Builder lays out 56 relocation tasks across seven countdown phases, 8+ weeks, 6 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, moving day and after moving day, and tracks completion against your actual move date with a days-remaining counter. You record the move type, home size and whether pets or children are involved, tick tasks off, attach a note to any of them, and see per-phase progress as charts. The finished plan exports as a CSV with phase, task, status and notes columns.
Open Moving Checklist Builder on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Under "Move Setup", set your "Move Date", "Move Type" (Local, Interstate or International), "Home Size" and the "Has Pets" / "Has Children" checkboxes.
Work through the seven phase tabs from "8+ Weeks Before" to "After Moving Day", ticking tasks off or typing your own into "Add a custom task".
Watch the "Days Until Move" and completion charts update, then click "Copy Summary" or "CSV" to download moving-checklist.csv.
Entering the move date turns the phases into a live countdown, and the days-remaining card switches to a warning tone once you are inside 14 days.
Quote figures, access codes and crew arrival times sit on the task they belong to and carry through into the CSV rather than living in a separate scratchpad.
Bar and pie charts break completion down phase by phase, so an untouched moving-day block is obvious even when the overall percentage looks healthy.
56, made up of eight tasks in each of the seven phases. They run from creating a moving binder and getting written quotes at 8+ weeks through to changing locks and testing smoke alarms after the move.
The earliest phase here is 8+ weeks out, which is when quotes, budgeting, decluttering and giving your landlord notice belong. Check your own lease notice period first, as it may be longer than eight weeks and sets the real starting point.
No. They are recorded in the plan alongside the move type and home size and appear in the exported summary and CSV. The relevant tasks, such as arranging pet boarding for moving day and transferring school records, are already in the 6-week and 2-week phases for everyone.
Yes, as a CSV with four columns, Phase, Task, Status (Done or Pending) and Notes, covering every task in every phase. There is also a copyable text summary carrying the move date, move type, home size, total and completed task counts, completion percentage and a per-phase done-out-of-total line. Export before you close the tab, since the plan is not saved between visits.
