Sorted List

Read full description

Sorted List is a simple, focused list app that keeps your grocery runs fast and stress-free. MULTIPLE LISTS Create as many lists as you need - one for the supermarket, one for the hardware store, one for every occasion. CATEGORIES Organise items within each list using custom categories. Drag and drop the categories into whatever order makes sense for the way you walk through the store. CHECK ITEMS OFF AS YOU SHOP Swipe an item to the right to mark it as checked, or tap the checkmark button. A quick UNDO snackbar appears so you can reverse an accidental check in seconds. REVIEW WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY PICKED UP A dedicated Checked Items view shows everything you have already put in your trolley. You can uncheck individual items to move them back to your active list, or delete all checked items in one tap to reset the list for next time. QUANTITIES Add an optional quantity to any item so you always know exactly how many you need. FULLY OFFLINE - NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED All your data is stored locally on your device. No sign-up, no cloud sync, no subscription. Your lists are always available, even without internet access. SIMPLE AND FAST SortedList is intentionally lightweight. No ads, no tracking, no bloat. Just a clean interface that gets out of your way while you shop.
