ListBud is the fast, friendly way to make lists and get things done — on your own or with anyone. Create a list in seconds, check things off with a tap, and share it when you need a second pair of hands. PRIVATE LISTS — Your everyday lists, always one tap away. Create a list in seconds and add tasks just as fast. Drag to reorder, swipe to rename, recolor, or delete. Keep them on your device, or sign in to back up and sync across devices — your choice, toggle it anytime. SHARED LISTS — Groceries, chores, trip planning — do it together. Share a list with family or friends using their short ListBud ID. Everyone sees changes as they happen, and you can see exactly who's on each list. PUBLIC LISTS — Some lists are for everyone. Publish a list and share it with a simple link. Anyone can open it right in their browser — no app needed. MORE THAN CHECKBOXES — Every list can mix and match: tasks you tap to complete, notes for the details, places and addresses next to the plan, and reminders that repeat daily, weekly, or yearly with per-device control. MAKE IT YOURS — Color-code lists and tasks, learn the ropes with the in-app quick guide, and sign in with Apple or Google — or skip sign-in entirely and keep everything local.
