Shared checklists.
No accounts.

Open a link, start a list. Share it with anyone — a partner, a group, a whole trip — and everyone sees the same list update live. No sign-up. No app to install.

Opens instantly. No account, no email.

How it works

01

Start a list

One tap and you're typing. Nothing to set up.

02

Share the link

Send it to anyone. Whoever opens it can add and check things off.

03

Stay in sync

Every change appears for everyone, live. Great for a grocery run one-handed in the store.

What you're actually sharing

A shared grocery list open on a phone, with items grouped under Produce, Dairy & eggs, and Everything else. Avocados and oat milk are checked off and struck through.
Sections keep a long list shoppable. Check something off and it's checked off on everyone's phone.
A Friendsgiving potluck sign-up sheet on a phone. Turkey is claimed by Dana with the note “brining it Wednesday”, green beans is still open with a Sign up button, and each section shows how many slots are filled.
Sign-up sheets show who claimed what, and what's still open. Nobody makes an account to claim a dish.
A cabin trip packing list on a phone, mixing claimable shared gear — cooler, firewood, speaker — with a checklist of things everyone brings.
Mix both in one list: who's bringing the shared stuff, plus what each person packs.

Everything you'd want in a shared checklist

Live for everyone

Real-time sync across every phone and tab with the link open.

No accounts, ever

No sign-up, no passwords to remember. The link is all you need.

Works like an app

Install it to your home screen — it runs full-screen, offline-friendly.

Sections & drag

Group items into sections and reorder with a press and drag.

Dates, typed not picked

Write “friday 6pm” and tap — rows get date chips, and an agenda view groups the week.

Sign-up sheets

Slots people claim by name — potlucks, snack rotas, volunteer shifts.

Add by voice

Tap the mic and say “add milk and eggs” — the assistant does the rest.

Start from a photo

Snap a handwritten list and review the rows it reads — headings become sections.

Optional password

Add a speed bump for new visitors when you want one.

Need a list with a grown-up in charge? pro

Everything above stays free, forever. anonylist pro adds lists you own — for the sheets that need an owner, not a free-for-all.

  • Choose what visitors can change — let them check things off and claim sign-up slots, but not rewrite the list.
  • Add admins by email — co-run it with a spouse or co-leader. Admins don’t pay.
  • An address people remember — claim /l/troop-12 instead of a random link. Permanent, and yours.
Or 99¢ a month. Only the owner needs an account; visitors never do — and pro is what pays to keep anonylist running.

Made for the lists you actually share

Grocery lists with a roommate. Packing lists for a trip. Chores for the house. A shopping list for the weekend, a to-do list for a project, a checklist for an event — anything two or more people need to see at once.

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up — open a link and you have a list.

Is it free?

Yes, completely. No account, no card.

Can other people edit my list?

Anyone with the link can view and edit it, and everyone sees changes live. There is no owner — presence in a list is the permission.

How private is a list?

A list is only reachable by its unguessable link. You can add a password as a speed bump for new visitors, but it isn't encryption — the server can read list contents, so don't store anything sensitive.

Do lists expire?

Lists may be removed after long inactivity. For anything you want to keep, copy the link somewhere safe.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. anonylist runs in any modern mobile browser, and you can install it to your home screen to open full-screen like a native app, offline-friendly — no app store, no download.

Can a list have an owner?

Yes — with anonylist pro, a list can be owned: the owner and their admins choose exactly what visitors can change, and deletes become undoable. Ordinary lists stay ownerless and free.

How many people can share one list?

As many as you want. Everyone who opens the link is in the same list at once, and every change syncs live for all of them.

Can I organize a list into sections?

Yes. Group items into sections and drag to reorder — moving a section brings its items along. Collapsing a section is per-device, so tidying your own view never changes anyone else's.
