I've started compiling a list of all the different character sheets that are out there. It's not complete yet, but it's a good start.
It divides the character sheets into three styles: Original ones with their own layout, Classic with a retro D&D 3e / Pathfinder 1e style layout, and Variant based on the official Paizo character sheet.
It notes whether the character sheet is fillable, what format it uses, and whether it's actually ready. I've also tried to include a discussion link where possible.
If you spot an error or would like to suggest an addition, either comment directly on the spreadsheet directly, post below, or PM me.

Please keep this thread polite, positive and on topic.
Here's one I've made. It doesn't include spells at this time as I think Paizo actually did a pretty good job with their spell sheet and would recommend using that instead.
Is this an appropriate place to post our own custom sheets?
Feel free. I'd suggest also having a dedicated thread for your own sheets.
You're using an old version of mine! Thank you, either way.
Here is the newer one.
Note that I'm still tinkering a lot with it. And I'm always looking for any and all feedback!
EDIT: Also, it's missing the name? "Knight of Whispers' Character Sheet" would be just fine.
I recommend you each pick a name and start a dedicated thread for discussion.
Also, if any are officially abandoned or discontinued, it would be good to know.
Here's the link to my dedicated thread for mine.

Updated.
Here is the link to the word file of my modmod version of BlueJay64's retro character sheet. I would have prefered seeing him make the alterations himself, since I don't have access to the same tools, but here is what I changed:
- The right collumn of the second page has a space for focus spells/powers and more space (ten lines) for 1st to 4th-level spells. My experience is that by the time a character gets higher than 4th-level spells, he's going to have separate sheets for them, or be using some other clever system like spell cards. A low-level character needs space for ten cantrips and often more than five low-level spells as he expands his spellbook.
- On the left collumn of the first page I added two extra weapon slots and blocked out the word "miscellaneous" leaving a blank space to write in a power or whatever the character needs. I also left some blank space at the end of the skills list, for additional lore skills or other information.
- Lastly, I replaced the Pathfinder logo with a box where players can insert an image for their character portrait. I've always enjoyed having my character portrait on the front page of the character sheet, and I think it helps other players identify who the character is.
I really prefer the retro PF1 look of this sheet.
Added Wheldrake's entry to the Classic section.
I recommend creating a thread for it.

I would, but it's really BlueJay64's sheet, just with a few minor tweaks. I suspect he will get round to tweaking his own sheet, then my modmod will become superfluous.
FWIW we used this sheet in a game last Friday, and the 2 players, both veteran DD3.5 and PF1 players, really prefered it to the standard PF2 sheet they saw in the CRB.

Happy to see a thread like this! [Even if only to steal ideas/inspiration from seeing how others work on their sheets.]
For my sheet, I'm currently estimating an initial release this weekend (maybe saving Companion Creatures & Formula tabs for later update depending on how much time I get to work on it, been busy recently). I'll make a thread and post new links here once I've got it in a presentable state. Note that my new sheet will be a different link from the Playtest one.
Also, if I could make a suggestion? The current sheet is extremely wide to the point it doesn't even fit on my screen, and it would be easier to read/use if it was narrower. I'd personally resize many of the columns to be just enough for the text they contain (Design, Fillable, & Status all have consistent entry lengths and unused space), make the Name column have text wrapping so it can be less wide while still displaying all info with no cut-off, and either replacing the URLs with text that just says "Link" while being clickable with a hyperlink or making the columns have text wrapping set to "clip" instead of the default "overflow" and making the columns shorter that way.
EDIT: Also, once my GM Sheet is finished (probably not for a while), mind if I get that linked into the "Notes" area?

Somebody else had the same idea, and has been compiling a list of resources here:
Resources Guide on r/Pathfinder2e.
I'll incorporate those into this list either tonight, or soon.

Good point. I've made some of these changes, and I'll do more later.

One of my players has actually updated your playtest sheet to the game's final version if you're interested.
I've incorporated entries from that Reddit link.
thank you for compiling these all together ! It's been nice to see the different takes on the sheets.
I made this one during the playtest. I haven't had a chance to figure out what's changed with final release and update it. I imagine it isn't a whole lot (likely the TEML numbers are the biggest change).
Its based on my Pathfinder sheet which was itself based on my 3.5 sheet which was itself a modification on a 3.5 sheet I found years and years and years ago that didn't do everything, rather it did just enough that anything else I needed for this specific character was something I could add myself. No giant tables of precalculated data full of macro-drive dropdowns, just simple cell reference calculations that would accept whatever you wanted to set things to. Meant that it wasn't immediately out of date when new material got published.

Here's a link to my Forum Post and a link to my character sheet.
GM Sheet will probably take longer to get up (more work + getting even busier irl starting in September), but I'll post a link to that as well once I get it up so that can be added into my entry.

I've added a couple of extra links to this.
Thanks once again. Such a nice list to have around!
Thank you for this list sadie!
If you see one I've missed, let me know. I don't know everything.
And, y'know, post if you see a thing you really like, even if it's already on the list.
My GM Sheet is taking longer than expected, so I'm putting out a Standalone Party Tracker in the meantime. If possible, it'd be great to have this tossed into the "Notes" area next to my sheet or something as it is meant to integrate with the Character Sheet (at least until my full GM Sheet replaces it).
I added entries for TOS 2nd PRO and Pathfinder 2e Autosheet. Are there any more I should add?
I added Beadle & Grimm's Complete Character Chronicles to the list.
Added Charon Onozuka's GM sheet.
I may add a separate tab for GM tools, if more of them turn up?
Added the Wanderer's Guide. It's still in alpha, but looks very promising as website/app approach.
There is now a beta up and running for the web-based version of Pathbuilder:

I think a number of people still remember it from its much more "meh" alpha state, but looking at it this week, it really has come a long ways and is really cool! Looking forward to it continuing to develop.
Agreed, WG is looking pretty solid. It's kinda nice to have some decent options to look at.
Minor update: TOS 2nd Core Edition is free.
If you have any other updates, please post them here.
I've added johnnyjester's updated version of the PF2 AutoSheet, and mrPaljas's A5 character sheet.

Hey I saw that you added mine as well which is awesome! But it's not completely correct. The format is actually a PDF which you can't fill in. I'm maybe going to add the form fields to the pdf, but that's something for later.
The link for dyslexic character sheets seems to lead to one particular sample instead of the whole site. Probably worth changing it to this.

Oops. Fixed.

I got the link for my own website wrong.
