How we picked: we searched the UK App Store for moving planners and kept apps that deal with a move in the UK, then read each developer’s own description for what the app plans, which UK organisations it covers and how it handles your data. The languages come from each app’s App Store listing.
Change of address checklist: who to tell when you move in the UK
Settly builds a plan the moment you give it your move date and situation, sorted into high, medium and low priority, and for each organisation it gives the steps rather than just a reminder: HMRC, DVLA, Royal Mail mail redirection, your bank, your GP, the electoral roll and more. It sends a daily nudge with the day’s top tasks and countdown alerts in the final week. Moving Home Checklist from reallymoving has a separate change of address checklist grouped by organisation type, designed for a move within England and Wales.
Moving house checklist for buyers and renters
reallymoving’s Moving House Checklist adapts to whether you are a first-time buyer, buying and selling, or renting, and adds a property viewing checklist. My Own Keys is built for buyers: import listings from Rightmove or Zoopla, compare them, then follow tasks by stage from viewing and offers to completion, track deposits, solicitor fees and removals, and invite a partner to plan together. It also has a stamp duty calculator.
Box inventory and labels
Mudora numbers each box, lists what is inside, tags it by room and prints labels as a PDF. After the move, type an item and it tells you which box it is in. Its timeline runs week by week from eight weeks out to the days after moving day.
Privacy
Settly has no backend and no accounts: dates, addresses and checklist progress stay on your device. Its Ask AI feature copies your question and opens it in your own ChatGPT or Claude app. Mudora also works with no account and no cloud, offline on your device.
