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.

Your tour lives in Master Tour. Your mom does not have a Master Tour login. TourSync fixes that. Share a link and the people who care about you can see exactly where the bus is headed, without the nightly "where are you now?" text. You pick what each person gets: everything for your partner, or just city and venue. Underneath the sharing is the boring magic. Connect Master Tour once and your dates flow into Apple Calendar and Google Calendar all day, every day. Load-in, soundcheck, doors, set time, hotel, bus call. Production moves the schedule at 11pm? Your calendar already knows. Nobody re-types a day sheet. Nobody screenshots one either. Then there is Buddy, a tour assistant that has actually read your schedule, which puts it ahead of at least one person on every crew. Ask what time load-in is. Ask for coffee near tonight's venue, food that is still open after load-out, or the drive time to the next city. It answers from your real dates, not vibes. Who it is for: Tour managers done maintaining the same schedule in four places. Crew who want the day sheet in the calendar they already check forty times a day. Musicians who would like their calendar to be right for once. Families who just want to know where their loved ones are. Plans: Comp keeps one tour synced with a personal share link. VIP adds Google Calendar sync, custom share links with per-person visibility, detailed calendar modes, and the invoice generator. All Access covers unlimited tours, ten share links, and priority support. One requirement, stated plainly: TourSync reads your schedule from Master Tour by Eventric, so you need a Master Tour account with a tour on it. That is the point. Your TM keeps working exactly how they already work. Everyone else finally gets to see it. TourSync fixes that.
