About

Lista

Features
Read full description

Lista is a to-do list app for people who want to organize life, not just a flat list — simple lists or larger projects, private or shared. Spaces, lists, and sections give everything a place, and you can filter all of it, a space, or a list down to just what matters. It all stays intuitive, with no setup. Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. STRUCTURE THAT SCALES Group related lists into spaces, so work and home stay separate. Break any list into sections. It's deep enough to hold a whole life, and simple enough to stay out of your way. FOCUS, WITHOUT THE SETUP Apply filters like Starred, Today, or Scheduled at any level — across everything, inside a space, or within a single list. No tags to manage, no searches to save, no setup. See only what matters, nothing else. SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU Share a list with your partner, your family, or anyone close to you, and work on it together. Changes sync to everyone in real time. Assign items to keep things moving. Start sharing with Messages, Mail, or a link. PRIVATE BY DESIGN. NO ACCOUNT. There's no sign-up and no separate account. Lista syncs through your own iCloud, so your data stays yours, invisible to us. Export it anytime. BUILT FOR APPLE Lista is deliberately built exclusively for the Apple ecosystem. That lets it integrate deeply with each platform and feel right at home on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. QUESTIONS, ANSWERED Can I focus on just the tasks that matter, without any setup? Yes. Filter by Today, Starred, or Scheduled across everything, a single space, or just one list. No tags, no saved searches, nothing to configure. Can my partner and I work on the same list at the same time? Yes. Share any list with your partner, family, or the people close to you, and your changes sync to everyone in real time. Assign items so everyone knows what's theirs. Does Lista need an account? No. Lista uses your own iCloud, so there's no separate account to create, and nothing for us to see. Can I type dates in plain language? Yes. As you type an item, Lista spots dates like tomorrow, next Monday, or Aug 15 at 9am and offers to schedule them. Type "Call Alice tomorrow" and you're left with a clean "Call Alice", scheduled for tomorrow. Can I schedule a task and have it repeat? Yes. Give any item a date, and set it to repeat on a schedule or after you complete it. Can Lista remind me about a task? Yes. Set a date and time, and Lista notifies you when it's due, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Can I search across all my spaces and lists? Yes. Find anything across all your spaces, lists, and sections from one place, or search just the view you're in. What happens if my Pro subscription ends? Everything you've made stays, and you can keep viewing and editing all of it. Until you renew, you can't add new spaces, lists, or sections beyond the Free limits. START FREE. UPGRADE ANYTIME. Start free with up to 2 spaces, 5 lists, and 5 sections per list, plus unlimited items, filters everywhere, search in any view or across everything, iCloud sync, and shared lists. Lista Pro keeps all of that and lifts the structure limits — unlimited spaces, lists, and sections — so your system can keep growing as far as you need. One subscription covers your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and Family Sharing extends Pro to up to five family members. Lista Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription.
