ListShare the link once. It unfurls into a live card.

One list, dressed for the occasion

Lay a list out as a board of section tiles, a two-column sheet or a classic checklist, in any of 15 looks and any colour. The page ticks off the same way whichever you pick. Here is the same potluck four more ways.

  • The same List link in the Light look, Board layout, in Rose. One tile per section, dishes as chips.

  • The same List link in the Dark look, Sheet layout, in Emerald. Two columns and a progress ring, after dark.

How List works

A tidy, sectioned checklist in the group chat in under a minute.

1
Write the list

Type one item per row and press Enter for the next. Add a Section for “Food” or “Gear”, a Note like “Cell service dies past the ranger station”, or paste a list from anywhere and it becomes rows. Templates cover a grocery run, packing and party prep.

2
Pick how it looks

Choose a Checklist, a Sheet with a progress ring, or a Board with one tile per section. Add a colour and one of 15 looks; the card in the chat and the page match.

3
Share it and tick together

Paste the link in any chat. Anyone can tick items, add their own, reorder and delete, and every change is saved for everyone. Share it again and the new card shows how many are done.

Who uses shared checklist links

Anywhere a group needs to split a list and see what is left.

Travel & trips
Group packing list

Sections for the kitchen, gear and “before we leave”. Each person ticks what they have packed, so the cabin does not end up with three coffee grinders and no filters.

Household
Shared grocery list

Housemates add to Produce, Dairy and Pantry all week. Whoever reaches the store first sees exactly what is still unticked.

Potlucks & parties
Who is bringing what

Switch to the Board layout: one tile per course or per person, with the dishes as chips underneath. The card shows every tile at a glance in the chat.

Moving
Moving-day checklist

Week before, Packing, Moving day, each section with its own count. A divider keeps the “after we move” jobs out of the way until they matter.

Sports & clubs
Gear for game day

The captain posts the kit list before the tournament. Players tick off the cones, the pump and the first-aid kit as they pack them.

Family
Holiday prep

The menu, the shopping and the house jobs in one list in the family chat. Need a name and a date on each job? That is what a Task link is for.

More than a to-do list, still one tap to tick

🗂️
Sections that count themselves

A heading owns the rows under it and shows its own “2 of 3”, so the group sees that Gear is done and Food is not without scrolling.

📝
Notes and dividers

Drop in a note for the gate code or the store hours, and a divider to split today from later. They never count toward progress.

🧩
Board for who is bringing what

The Board layout gives each section a tile with its items as chips, on the card and on the page. It is the fastest way to read a potluck in a chat.

👆
Anyone can pitch in

Everyone with the link can tick, add, drag to reorder and delete rows. Two people ticking different items at once both land.

📋
Paste it, or start from a template

Paste lines from Notes or a message and each becomes a row; # starts a section and > a note. Or start from Grocery run, Packing list, Party prep, Moving day or Weekend trip.

📊
A card that shows progress

The chat card shows how many items are done and draws your sections. Every re-share posts a fresh card with the latest count.

Know if the checklist is getting used.

Every List organizer gets Link Insights, so you can see opens, shares and updates to the list without asking the group. How Link Insights works →

Updates, not just glances

Insights count each time someone adds or checks off an item, separately from how often the list was simply opened.

Spot the quiet stretch

The timeline makes it obvious when the packing list stopped moving three days before the trip, which is exactly when to post it again.

Shared onward

A share is counted every time a chat app loads the list preview, so you can see when someone passed the link to a second group.

Frequently asked questions

Do people need an account to use a List link?
No. Anyone with the link can open the list, tick items and add their own. There is no sign-up, no app and no email to confirm.
Can I split the list into sections?
Yes. Add a Section row (or start a row with #) and the items under it belong to that section. Each section shows its own count, like “2 of 3”, and the card draws them too.
Can people add, reorder and delete items?
Yes. Anyone with the link can add items, tick and untick them, drag rows into a new order and delete rows. Changes are saved for everyone; reopening the page shows the latest list.
What is the Board layout for?
Board gives every section its own tile, with the items as chips underneath. Make a section per person or per course and it reads as who is bringing what, on the card and on the page.
Can I paste a list I already have?
Yes. Paste several lines and each becomes a row. Lines starting with # become sections, > becomes a note, --- a divider and - [x] an item that is already ticked.
Does the chat card update when someone ticks an item?
The page does; chat apps keep the card they first showed. Share the link again and the new card shows how many items are done.
What is the difference between List and Task?
List is for things to tick off: groceries, packing, what the party still needs. Task is for who does what, by when, with owners, due dates, status and repeating chores. If a job needs a name and a deadline, use a Task.
Is List free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no credit card, no subscription.
