Find anything you own in seconds. Itemlist remembers where everything is, so you don't have to. Give every item a place once, then find it again the moment you need it. SEARCH THAT ACTUALLY FINDS THINGS Type whatever you remember: a name, a brand, a detail. Search matches across every field. Or scan a barcode to search your inventory. ORGANIZED LIKE REAL STORAGE Locations hold rooms, rooms hold containers, and containers nest inside other containers, as deep as your shelves actually go. The box inside the crate inside the closet is one search away. EVERY PLACE YOU KEEP THINGS Create a separate location for each place: your house, office, vacation home, storage unit. Each one keeps its own rooms, containers, and inventory, all in one app. SHARED WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD OR TEAM Every location is shared separately: your family sees the house, your coworkers see the office, and nobody sees what isn't theirs. You control who can view and who can edit, and the location owner's PRO covers everyone in it. LENT IT OUT? MOVED IT "JUST FOR NOW"? With PRO, mark an item as lent and see who has it, or mark it as displaced and Itemlist remembers where it really is until it goes back. STOP RE-BUYING WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN A quick search tells you whether you already have one before you buy another. READY FOR THE BAD DAY TOO Photos, serial numbers, purchase prices, and condition on every item, with CSV export ready for an insurance claim, your business records, or your accountant. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES iPhone and iPad. Works offline and syncs across your devices. FREE TO START Up to 100 items and 20 containers free. PRO adds unlimited items and containers, location sharing, lending, and displaced tracking.

About

Better Writer

Features
Read full description

Better Writer is a daily reading and writing habit app built around one simple idea: the best way to remember what you read is to write about it later. Every day, you read a short curated text, a few minutes, chosen for you based on your interests. Two days later, the app asks you to write about it from memory. Not a summary. Not a quiz. Just your own thoughts, in your own words, about what stuck. That two-day gap is the whole point. There's a concept in cognitive science called the spacing effect. When you revisit an idea after a delay, your brain has to work harder to reconstruct it. That effort — that productive struggle — transforms passive consumption into genuine understanding. You don't just remember the idea better. You make it yours. HOW IT WORKS - Day 1: Read a short, AI-curated passage. A few minutes. No scrolling, no choosing. - Day 3: Write about it from memory. A personalized prompt connects the reading to your own life. - Repeat: Cycles overlap, so you're always reading something new and writing about something past. That's the whole app. Show up, and ideas compound. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT No blank page. The writing prompt is personal — it's never "summarize this." It invites you to connect the reading to your own perspective, your own experience. No generic content. Readings are sourced from real articles and matched to your interests. The more you use the app, the better it gets at knowing what you want to think about. No account required. No email, no password, no name. Your account is completely anonymous. No ads, no analytics. No friction. One task per day. When you're done, you're done. WHAT YOU GET - Daily curated readings that grow with your habit (Week 1 starts short; each week goes a little longer) - Personalized writing prompts that connect your reading to your life - Streak tracking and progress stats (words read, words written, activity calendar) - A log of every reading and writing you've completed - Bonus modes: read or write freely on-demand once your daily cycle is complete - Daily reminders — gentle, not nagging FOR PEOPLE WHO - Read a lot but feel like they retain little - Want to write regularly but freeze at a blank page - Are looking for a low-effort, high-return daily habit - Value ideas and want a practice that takes ideas seriously This isn't about producing polished essays. It's about thinking on paper. The only metric that matters is whether you showed up. Read. Remember. Write.
