About

Tillsa

Features
Read full description

Tillsa is short for "tillsammans" — Swedish for together. Because a shopping list is only worth having if it's the same list for everyone who might end up in the shop. ONE LIST FOR EVERYONE YOU LIVE WITH Share a list and edit it together. Tick something off in the store and it disappears from everyone's list within seconds — so nobody buys milk twice, and nobody comes home without the eggs. TYPE "MILK" AND IT LANDS UNDER FOOD Items sort themselves into themes. Themes belong to the list, not the app, so the renovation list gets Hardware and Paint while the party list gets Food and Decorations. Rename them, recolour them, or take one of the suggestions. ONE LINK, ANY DEVICE Family on iPhone and iPad join through iCloud. Anyone else can open the same link in a browser and read the list — and edit it with a free Tillsa account. SYNCS THROUGH YOUR ICLOUD Every list lives in your own iCloud and syncs between your Apple devices there. Only a list you share with someone outside iCloud moves to our servers; the rest never touch them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no account needed. Your lists are yours. WORKS OFFLINE Every change is saved on your device first and synced when you're back online. No spinners in the store basement. DONE ISN'T GONE Ticked items move to the list's archive — or stay struck through on the list, if you'd rather see what you've already got. Nothing is deleted on a timer. Restore any time. ALSO • Quantities and notes on any item • Export any list as Markdown or plain text • A read-only copy of every list in Files › iCloud Drive › Tillsa • English and Swedish • Sign in with Apple, Google or email when you do want an account — and delete it from Settings whenever you like Tillsa is free, with no limits on lists or items. Sharing within iCloud is free. Sharing with people outside iCloud needs a free Tillsa account. Stop texting each other the list. Download Tillsa, share a list, and never buy milk twice again.
