One Live List. Always Up to Date. Paper lists become outdated the moment a recipe, quantity, note, or instruction changes. Team List gives teams one shared workspace where the latest information stays clear, organized, and available to everyone who needs it. Update a recipe, preparation note, quantity, photo, or task once, and the latest version appears across the shared list in real time. There is no need to reprint a recipe, rewrite a paper list, or spend time explaining which copy is current. Team List is designed for kitchens, retail teams, events, cleaning crews, offices, workshops, small businesses, and households that need a practical way to coordinate everyday work. Keep Recipes and Notes Current Attach recipes, photos, notes, and checkable preparation steps directly to an item. When a recipe or instruction changes, an Editor can update it immediately. Everyone with access to the shared list can see the latest version without waiting for a new printed copy. This helps reduce: - Outdated recipes and instructions - Repeated printing and paper waste - Confusion between old and new versions - Missed preparation steps - Time spent explaining changes to every team member Clear Roles for Every Team The List Creator can manage access and switch other people between Editor and Member at any time. - Creator: Manages the shared list, subscription, and member roles - Editor: Can update list content, recipes, notes, quantities, sections, and order information - Member: Uses operational controls without restructuring the list Roles are simple to understand and can be adjusted whenever responsibilities change. Build and Organize Lists Faster - Add multiple items at once - Scan visible text from a photo and review it before saving - Choose whether scanned imports include all detected text or exclude numbers - Organize work using pages, sections, colors, and Needed status - Add notes, recipes, photos, and preparation steps to individual items - Search large lists quickly - Keep completed and outstanding work easy to understand - Receive optional reminders for announcements on your selected Team List page Create Clear Order Lists Turn items marked Needed into a structured Order List with quantities and units. Organize purchasing by section, update quantities as requirements change, mark pickup progress, and copy pickup-ready order text for one section or the entire order. Example: Produce Cos lettuce — 1 head Cucumber — 2 kg Protein Chicken thigh — 18 kg Eggs — 179 pcs Instead of rewriting an order or asking what changed, the latest quantities and pickup status stay together in one place. Share One Workspace Create a list and invite other people using its List ID. Everyone joins the same organized workspace and sees information according to their assigned role. Team List can help: - Kitchens manage preparation, recipes, ingredients, and ordering - Retail teams coordinate restocking and pickup - Event teams organize supplies and setup tasks - Cleaning crews maintain clear task instructions - Offices and workshops manage shared operational lists - Families coordinate shopping and household tasks Team List Pro Team List Pro is an auto-renewable subscription for List Creators.

PDF Chef helps you read, edit, merge, split, compress and sign PDFs on your device. Organize pages, add text and images, place a handwritten signature, add watermarks or page numbers, and protect PDFs with a password. Convert supported images and documents, and extract text. Results depend on the source file and the selected tool. Normal PDF processing runs on your device. Your documents are not uploaded to a PDF Chef server for processing. Offline tools remain available after their assets have loaded. PDF Chef does not require an account. Review your result before sharing or exporting it. On iOS, the first five successful jobs in each rolling seven-day allowance period are complete jobs that you can save, share and export. The period starts with the first successful job. After five jobs, processing and preview remain available, but saving, sharing and exporting require Pro until the allowance resets. Pro Monthly renews automatically until canceled. Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Both options support Apple Family Sharing. Prices and purchase details appear in the app before you buy. Restore purchases from Settings.
