When Moving
A free UK moving checklist app that builds two editable timelines for the home you are leaving and the place you are moving into.
Overview
What it is
When Moving is a checklist app for UK moves. It starts with a short questionnaire, then creates a practical timeline for the home being left and the place being moved into.
Why we built it
Moving home creates a long chain of admin tasks, but most moving tools are either generic checklists, thin content pages, or lead-generation funnels. When Moving exists to give people a useful starting plan they can adapt as the move becomes real.
How it works
The app treats a move as two related checklists. The Moving From side covers leaving tasks such as notice, sale admin, packing, cleaning, handover, and address changes. The Moving To side covers buying, renting, moving in with family, utilities, setup, and first-week settling-in tasks.
Product intent
When Moving is built for people who need a clear plan more than another blank notes app. The useful part is the starting structure: UK-specific templates, timeline sections, progress, and editable tasks that can change as the move changes.
Capabilities
- 01Short setup flow asks where the move starts and where the person is moving next.
- 02Supports selling a home, leaving a rental, moving out from family or friends, buying, renting, or moving in with family.
- 03Generates separate Moving From and Moving To checklists so exit tasks and setup tasks do not blur together.
- 04Timeline sections group tasks by timeframe, with progress shown per checklist and per section.
- 05Tasks can be completed, edited, added, deleted, and broken into nested subtasks.
- 06Scenario guide pages support UK moving searches such as first-time buyer, renter, selling and buying, and moving in with family.
Who it's for
- UK movers who want a practical moving plan without creating an account first.
- Renters, first-time buyers, sellers, and people moving in with family who need scenario-specific prompts.
- People who want a private, device-local checklist they can adapt as moving dates and details change.

- Account model
- Email and password account pages exist, but the checklist flow is designed to work without an account.
