Bucket lists & planning

One live bucket list you both add to and check off

One live bucket list you both add to and check off

Stop losing "we should go there" ideas in the group chat. Keep one shared bucket list of places to eat, things to do, trips to take, and recipes to try — both of you add ideas and cross them off from your own phone. No second account needed.

The problem

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

  • "We should go there" ideas disappear in the group chat scroll
  • You each keep a separate Notes list that never matches
  • Screenshots of restaurants with no phone number or address saved
  • No easy way to check things off together as you do them
