PearList keeps your household's shared lists in sync across everyone's phones, with no account, no server and no company in the middle. Make a grocery list, a to-do list or a chore board. Anyone in your household can add items, check them off, rename them, assign them and delete them, and every change syncs directly between your phones. Assign an item to a person and any list doubles as a shared chore board. There is no sign-up and no login. You join a household by scanning a QR code or tapping an invite link. From then on everyone sees and edits the same lists. Because PearList is peer-to-peer, your lists live only on your devices.
