A list everyone can add to — collaborate in real time, no account needed

Shared lists your whole group can build together

Planning something with other people? Make a collaborative list that everyone can add to, check off, and vote on from one shared link. Perfect for trips, projects, events, and any "let's do this together" plan — without wrangling a group chat.

The problem

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

  • Group planning turns into an endless, unscrollable chat thread
  • Only one person can edit the shared doc, so it goes stale
  • People you invite don't want to make yet another account

What you get

Everyone edits

Anyone with the link can add, edit, and check off items — it's truly shared.

No sign-up to join

The people you share with don't need an account to contribute.

Contributors are free

Items added by people you invite don't count against your plan — only what you add does.

Built-in polls

Turn decisions into votes so the group picks together, right in the list.

Organized sections

Group items by topic so a big collaborative plan stays readable.

Frequently asked questions

Can multiple people edit the same list?
Yes. Anyone with the link can add, edit, and check off items — it's a true collaborative list, not read-only.
Do people need an account to add to it?
No. The people you share with can contribute without signing up, so nobody has to create another account.
Do contributors count against my plan limit?
No. Items added by people you invite are free for you — only items you add yourself count toward your plan.
Can we vote on decisions?
Yes. Add items as poll options and everyone votes, so the group decides together inside the list.
