LISZ is the working desk for the person who runs someone else's life: estate managers, executive and personal assistants, chiefs of staff, family-office hands. Your principal says six things in one breath. LISZ catches all six, works out what each one is - a task, a trip, a property job, a person to call, a receipt - and files it in the right world. You review before anything lands. Then it hands the work back when it matters. NEW IN 2.0 A redesigned LISZ: three tabs - Today, Work and Clients - and one round capture button beside them. Your data is unchanged, and everything from 1.1.1 is still reachable. ONE WORLD PER PRINCIPAL Every principal, family or property is its own world. Switch from the top left and the whole app follows: tasks, travel, residences, staff, vendors, documents, spend. Choose All clients for everything at once. TODAY Next shows what is coming, with the open time. Needs you shows up to five items, with an Act now band on top for anything safety-related. Below: captures to review, handed-off work that came back or went quiet, and clients who need attention. By day shows your week; on iPad a days column sits beside the briefing. CAPTURE FIRST, SORT LATER The round capture button opens the Capture hub. Brain dump comes first: one thought per line, typed or dictated, then Done and review what LISZ sorted before anything lands. Beside it: Magic paste, Voice task, Snap receipt, Scan document, Record meeting. Hold it for Photo, Voice or Record meeting. Four ways to report an issue: a line that starts with a work word such as fix or repair, guided steps, one sheet, or a photo first. WORK Handoffs, Waiting and Trips under one tab, with Open board for everything in flight. When a handoff goes quiet, Nudge drafts the chase; you send it, log the reply and confirm. CLIENTS One card per client, with a health ring, what needs you, what is waiting and what is next. Clients who need attention come first. A client opens as a dossier; Open workspace is one tap away. PROPERTIES AND TRIPS A property opens as a brief: Upkeep, Open issues, The house runs on, Standing rhythm. Report an issue from it, or share a Turnover brief as a PDF. On a travel day a trip opens as routing, with Route, House, Keys, Files and Itinerary. EVERYTHING ONE SEARCH AWAY Search opens the command sheet: results, actions such as New handoff and Log an expense, and a Go to list. THE WORK YOU ACTUALLY RUN Properties with vendors, systems and records. People with the role each plays for each principal, linked to your contacts. Receipts and expenses with budgets that warn you early. YOUR CALENDAR, NOT A COPY OF IT LISZ reads the calendars you point it at to find free windows, and writes back only the events you confirm, only to the calendar you chose. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No login. No servers of ours. Your principals' data lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, encrypted by Apple, invisible to us. No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Discretion is the job; LISZ is built the same way. ALSO FOR YOUR OWN LIFE Running only your own life? My Life is a world like any other, and a switch in Settings speaks Projects, Locations and Gigs instead. PRICING - Free: everything in My Life, with one property and one active trip. - LISZ Personal: My Life without limits. $4.99 a month or $49 a year. - LISZ Pro: add your principals and clients, without limits. $69 a month or $699 a year. Nothing is ever locked away: if a subscription ends, everything you entered stays visible, editable and exportable. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LISZ at 5.0 against Mind Mapping's 4.4. LISZ also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Mind Mapping's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mind Mapping sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per month and LISZ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LISZ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mind Mapping has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Mind Mapping ships an update every 4 weeks, LISZ weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
