Real Life, Real XP. XPList is the experience tracker you've been waiting for. Add anything worth doing - hike a volcano, eat at that restaurant, learn to sail, visit your grandmother more. Assign it XP based on how much it matters to you. Check it off when you live it. This isn't a to-do app. There are no due dates, no overdue guilt, no streaks to maintain. XPList is a list of experiences you actually want to have - and a record of the ones you've already lived. Inspired by Die with Zero: a life well-lived is measured in experiences, not possessions. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build your personal experience list — travel, food, adventure, culture, anything • Assign 1–100 XP to reflect how meaningful each experience is to you • Mark experiences complete, add a date, photos, a star rating, and a note • Auto-fill details from Wikipedia or any URL with one tap • Organize experiences into Collections — Road Trip, Bucket List, Date Nights • Share any experience via link — opens in the app for others to add to their own list • Connect with friends and see what they're adding and completing • Get notified when a friend does something cool THE ANTI-INSTAGRAM No follower counts. No likes. No public leaderboards. Discovery happens through people you actually know — your friends' lists, not an algorithmic feed of strangers performing their best life. PREMIUM Free: up to 25 experiences and 3 collections. Premium: unlimited everything with a 1-week free trial. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
