Things List is a place to keep track of what you collect — books, wine, vinyl, art, or anything else. There are no preset categories. You build the lists, and you decide what fields each one needs. Add things with a photo, a few words, or a tap in the share sheet, straight from Safari, Photos, or any other app. Scan a page and the text goes straight into a note. Each list can hold its own fields — text, checkboxes, ratings, dates — along with tags, notes, a location, and photos. Sort a list by whichever field matters to you. Print any list as a sheet of cards, sized to cut out and keep. Two widgets let you add a thing from your Home Screen, or see a random one from your collection. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, nothing is sent to us. Export your data as CSV and images any time, and sync it over your own iCloud if you want to. Things List is quiet and plain by design — no clutter, no noise, just your things.
