Why we made this
Most moving checklists online are SEO-bait — fifteen scrolls of ads to find a list you can't actually print. We wanted something you could pull up, print once, and use. So we made it. It lives in a single 3-page PDF.
The catch (there isn't really one): generic checklists are a great starting point but they miss what's specific to your move. If you want a checklist that knows about your third-floor walkup, your two cats, and the fact that you're moving the week your in-laws visit — that's what Dovetail does.

Frequently asked questions
Is the moving checklist PDF really free?
Yes. No email, no signup, no upsell. Click the button and the PDF downloads. We built Dovetail to be useful first; the checklist is part of that.
What's in the PDF?
A week-by-week checklist starting 8 weeks before move day and running through the week after: deciding and inventorying, booking and notifying, packing in waves, moving day itself, and settling in.
Will it work for any kind of move?
It works for most moves — local, long-distance, apartments, houses. It's intentionally generic. For a checklist that adapts to your specific apartment, timeline, and constraints, use the Dovetail wizard.
