How do you keep track of your shopping list? Notepad? iMessage history with your family? What if crazy Uncle Jack already picked up all the drinks for the party tonight and you didn't see the message in the group chat? Lists don't have to be hard, confusing, or time-consuming. They can be simple and beautiful - and just work. It shouldn't matter if you're just keeping track of your own to-dos, or planning a getaway using a shared list with your family and friends. OurList is the easiest way to create and manage lists between as many people as you like. Add or finish todo's in a shared list, and everyone else will see the updates in real-time. ------ Ever go to the grocery store with your family? Mom probably has the list, and she's trying to delegate tasks to everyone. Billy forgot the ketchup and dad got distracted in the beer aisle. Everybody regroups to an angry mom and an empty cart. If everyone had OurList, you can all see the same list no matter where you are in the store! Once dad tracks down the quinoa, he can cross it off the list, and mom will see the update immediately over in aisle 4. ------ OurList is great for your own lists too! Keep shared lists separate from your personal lists to safely keep track of birthday gift ideas for your loved ones. A new idea cross your mind? Simple gestures make adding items to OurList a breeze. The less time you spend in the app, the better! ------ Planning a vacation with your friends? Everyone needs different things from the store, and the group chat is moving at a thousand miles an hour. Hopefully one of you is keeping track! In a google doc maybe? Bleh. Nobody wants to deal with that. Get everyone working on the same list to add new items and ideas as you think of them. Make sure everyone gets what they want and nothing is left behind. ------ Sharing lists is as easy as sending your family and friends a link. No codes or confirmations or 2 factor authentications. You're not trying to defend the missile silos, just trying to share your grocery list. OurList has a simple, fast sign-up process, which keeps all your lists synced and backed up to your personal account. That way, if anything ever happens to your phone (your little brother decides to bowl with it at the grocery store), your lists will always be accessible. --- OurList is a simple, no-frills list app with easy sharing and even easier list management. Don't get bogged down with notes, messages, or clunky apps. Use OurList to tackle your own tasks or conquer the grocery store together. Lists just got a whole lot better. --- Terms of use for OurList is defined by Apple's standard End User License Agreement, which can be found here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Your iPhone knows what you're doing on stage. And it can trigger everything. Orchestr iPhone is both a complete stage monitor and an autonomous mini-booth. Free for the essentials. Formidable in Pro. FREE — THE PERFORMER'S DEVICE Connect your iPhone to Orchestr Mac or iPad on the same network. Instantly, with no setup: · Real-time display of current cue and next cue · Timer and countdown visible on stage · Play / Pause the show from iPhone · Remote cue advancement Your iPhone becomes the booth's extension — in the wings, in your pocket, in your line of sight. PRO — THE SOLO PERFORMER'S BOOTH An interface built for iPhone. Not a timeline — steps. Each step contains cues. Steps form routines. Build your show the way you work on stage: sequence by sequence, gesture by gesture. PRO CUES Marc Antoine Magic Props — Bulb E, Pro Light Connected, Neuro Light, standalone modules and all upcoming products in the range. One place to control all your connected props, without juggling multiple apps. Virtuoz — Trigger your Virtuoz effects directly from a routine. Synchronized with the rest of your show. NFC — Approach an NFC card: a routine fires. Or music plays. Or both. Program each card's action directly in the app. The card becomes an invisible trigger — a prop, an object, a sleeve — that fires your show without anyone understanding how. Video — Launch videos from your library. Full screen, discreet, integrated in your routine. Connected Bulbs — Control your connected bulbs: color, intensity, transitions. In the routine, at the right moment. Bridge to Orchestr — From an iPhone routine, trigger a cue on Orchestr Mac or iPad running at the booth. iPhone becomes the bridge between your gesture on stage and all the technical infrastructure behind it. A BLE remote in your pocket, a Mac at the booth, iPhone making the link — the audience sees nothing. OSC — Send OSC messages to any compatible software. QLab, MadMapper, TouchDesigner — trigger anything from a routine. THE LIGHT THAT TRAVELS With Marc Antoine Magic's Pro Light Connected — catch light at your fingertips. Send it into a Bulb E. Into connected bulbs across the room. The light seems to move through space, from one source to another, under the control of your hands. Also control your iPhone's torch — pulses, choreographed flickers, visual effects. An extra prop you already have in your pocket. SHARE YOUR ROUTINES Save your routines. Share them via AirDrop or email. Another performer imports in one tap — the routine is in their app, ready to run. Build a community of setups. Exchange configurations. Adapt others' work to your act. BUILT FOR Magicians — native Marc Antoine Magic props, invisible NFC, Virtuoz, Blackout mode. Solo performers — autonomous booth without Mac, without technician, without compromise. Connected artists — the bridge between physical props and software infrastructure. BLACKOUT MODE Turn off the screen. The show keeps running. Routines play, BLE triggers work, props respond. No stray light. The audience sees nothing. One-time purchase. 12 months of updates included. Bug fixes free for life. The basic mode is free and works without purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Orchestr at none against OurList's shown. Orchestr also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). OurList's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
