Bucket lists

A shared bucket list you both add to and check off

Places to eat, things to do, trips to take, recipes to try — keep them in one live list you and your partner build together. Add ideas from your phone, paste links from anywhere on the web, save real spots from Discover with directions, and cross them off as you make the memories.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • "We should go there" ideas vanish in the group chat scroll
  • You and your partner each keep a Notes list that never matches
  • Screenshots of restaurants with no phone number or directions saved
  • No easy way to check things off together as you actually do them
  • Trip plans scattered across texts, tabs, and half-finished docs

What you get

Two people, one live list

Both of you add ideas and check them off from your own phone — updates show up instantly for both. No more mismatched Notes.

No account for your partner

Send one link. They join with just a name — nothing to download, no sign-up. Only the creator needs a free account.

Organized by topic

Group ideas into Places to eat, Things to do, Trips, Recipes, or any topic you choose. Each topic is its own mini-list.

Add from any URL

Paste a link from anywhere on the web — articles, products, travel ideas, inspiration — and save it straight to your Lyst.

Browse Picks explore

See travel ideas, recipes, decor, and inspiration others save from the web — then save your own with Add from URL.

Save real places from Discover

Browse local businesses and places, then save them to your bucket list with the phone number, category, and directions attached.

Directions & tap-to-call built in

Every saved spot keeps its location, so when it's time to go you get one-tap calling and map directions.

Review after you go

Check an item off, then leave a quick review so you remember what you loved and your list gets smarter over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a shared bucket list app?
It's one live checklist two or more people share. Everyone adds ideas — places to eat, things to do, trips to take — and checks them off from their own phone, with everything staying in sync.
Does my partner need to create an account?
No. You send one link and they join with just a name. Only the person who creates the list needs a free ReferLyst account.
Can we save links from the internet?
Yes. Use Add from URL to paste travel blogs, recipes, products, or inspiration straight into your list. Browse Picks explore to see what others save from the web.
Is it free?
Yes. You can create a shared bucket list for free. Upgrade to Pro only if you want multiple lists or extra features.
Can we save real restaurants and places?
Yes. Browse Discover, tap Save to bucket list on any business, and it's added with the phone number, category, and directions so you're ready to go.
Is it good for long-distance couples?
It's one of the best uses. Plan your next visit together by building a shared list of date spots and things to do before you're even in the same city.
Can more than two people use one list?
Yes. Roommates, friend groups, and trip crews all share a single list — everyone joins from one link with just a name.
