About

Longlist

Features
Read full description

Longlist is the list of things you still want to do with your life. And the first one that also tells you how far along you are. Most bucket list apps are a pretty notepad: one line, one checkbox, done. But "see the northern lights", "travel to 30 countries" and "put 50,000 aside" are not checkboxes. They have progress, a price and a next step. THREE QUESTIONS, ON EVERY ENTRY How far along am I? What will it still cost me? What is the next step? The next step sits in the list itself, not buried in a submenu — so you see it the moment you open the app. SIX KINDS OF LIFE GOALS • Save an amount — enter a target and a date, and Longlist works out the monthly rate and whether you are on track. • Travel somewhere — place, season window, estimated cost and days. Tick it off and the country fills in on your world map. • Own something — pulled in from any shop through the share sheet, with image, title and price. The price becomes a savings goal. • Reach a position — course, exam, application, interview: a chain of stages with their own deadlines. • Do something — a skydive, a marathon, giving a speech. With prerequisites and the window of opportunity. • Collect something — 30 countries, all 50 states, 100 books. Counted properly, x of n. If none of them fit, build your own type — and share it as a template. YOUR WORLD MAP Every place you reach fills in a country, with a percentage. The map lives inside the app: it works on a plane exactly as it does at home. NO ACCOUNT. OFFLINE. FOR GOOD. Longlist works fully without signing up. Your goals live on your device, not on a server. You only need an account if you want to sync between two devices or share a list with someone. EXPORT IS FREE A bucket list is meant to last decades. So you can take it out again at any time — as JSON, CSV or PDF, without Pro and without an account. A backup behind a paywall would not be a backup. WHAT LONGLIST DOES NOT DO No daily streaks: life goals take years, not runs. No ads, no data selling. No public feed, no real-name requirement. And no "you haven't been here in a while" messages. LONGLIST PRO Free for good: unlimited goals, all six types, the world map, widget, search, sorting, one photo per goal, share import and the full export. Pro adds: build and share your own goal types, unlimited photos and completion stories, unlimited shared lists, location reminders and travel mode, savings commitments, year in review and insights. Pricing: monthly, yearly with two weeks free to try, or a one-time purchase with no subscription at all. The price in your currency is shown on the purchase screen and before you confirm. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase; you can manage and cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
