About

List Total

Features
Read full description

A running total for every list you keep. List Total turns any Apple Reminders list into a live running total. Add a price and a quantity to your items and List Total adds them up as you go, so you always know what the trip will cost before you reach the register. Planning a new garden, a birthday party, a class party, a hardware-store run, or the weekly groceries? Keep the list you already have in Reminders and let List Total do the math on top. How it works - Add cost and quantity to any item, and List Total multiplies and totals them for you. - A big total sits up top, with hairline line items below and a progress bar for what is still to buy. - Tap a ring to check an item off. The row strikes through, fades, and the total rolls. - Watch what is left to buy update live as you shop. - Paste a product link to add an item: List Total fills in the name, and the price when the store lists one clear price, and keeps the link so you can open the page again. Built on Apple Reminders - No sign-up, ever. No account to create. - No servers of ours. Your lists never leave Reminders, and product links are read straight from the store. - Backed by Apple Reminders and synced through iCloud, the way your Reminders already sync across your devices. List Total just does the math. Your lists stay yours.
