ListShuffler turns your endless lists into a single pick — never argue about what to do next again. **THE PROBLEM** "What's for dinner?" Twenty minutes pass. Same question every Friday. Restaurants to try, movies to watch, chores to split — decisions pile up and no one picks. **WHY A COIN FLIP ISN'T ENOUGH** A coin handles two options. A random number generator forgets your list the moment you close it. You re-type the same names week after week, and weighing favorites is impossible. **THE SOLUTION** ListShuffler remembers your lists. Make a category for anything — restaurants, names, tasks, dares — and tap shuffle to get one pick. Weight items so favorites come up more, save templates for recurring decisions, and share lists over iCloud so friends and family pick together. Everything syncs across iPhone and iPad. Simple. Fair. Decision made.

About

Burn through your day. BurnTheList is a daily task list with one job: get you to finish things. Add a task, tap it, watch it burn. Start in seconds — no account, no login, no setup. Type your first task and go. Build a streak — a streak ring tracks your daily burn, and a 7-day strip shows how the week went. Three ways to add tasks — type them manually, describe your week in plain English and let the AI planner draft it, or sync a published Google Sheet and let the app pull your list every day. Recurring tasks — repeat anything daily, on chosen weekdays, or every N days. Home screen widget — see today's tasks and check them off without opening the app. Five themes — Cyberpunk, Vaporwave, Terminal, Blood Red, and Minimal. Your tasks and completion history stay on your device.
