Less planning, more doing.

List-it is a minimalist app for to-dos and shopping lists: create, prioritise and tick off tasks easily, without overhead or friction.

With groups, you share lists with the people around you, for example to plan a holiday or a kitchen renovation together.

A shopping list

you share with others,

even without signal.

The challenge

List-it has to work fully offline, even when several people use the same list. A shared shopping list has to keep working without a connection and sync as soon as it can again.

The tricky cases are in the details: what happens when two people tick off the same item at the same time, both without signal, in two different shops? Situations like that decide whether a shared list can be trusted in practice.

The approach

We built a sync that lets offline and online work together across multiple accounts, and added new features, such as groups for planning things together.

List-it’s principles stayed intact: drag-and-drop for priorities, a free basic version so the app is accessible to everyone, and user data that stays private and is never sold.

The result

An app that focuses on doing rather than planning, and so gives back calm and focus.

The sync is the quiet work behind it. A shared list keeps working without signal and catches up as soon as there is a connection, even when two people tick off the same item at the same time in two different shops. It is exactly those cases that decide whether a shared list can be trusted in practice.

The principles stayed intact: drag-and-drop for priorities, a free basic version so the app stays accessible to everyone, and user data that stays private. What started as a client project, we now develop further together with the founders.

Your to-do list, turned into peace of mind.

The best to-do list is the one you think about least. Everything we added to List-it had to survive that rule.

2022

In a world where to-do lists pile up and daily clarity gets rarer, we built a minimal, intuitive app that genuinely helps: create, prioritise and tick off tasks easily — without overhead or friction. By redesigning the core of productivity, we delivered a solution focused on doing instead of planning, bringing calm and focus back into users' lives. 

We combined user-friendly design with smart technical choices: drag-and-drop prioritising, a shopping list that is easy to share, offline capability, and a free basic tier so it is accessible to everyone. Security and privacy came first — user data stays private and is never sold to third parties. That supports the mission of putting approachable productivity first and giving people more peace of mind.
