About NellyList: Shared Life Lists
THE LIST YOU FINISH TOGETHER We should see all 63 national parks. Watch every Best Picture winner. Read 100 books this year. You've said it — and right now the count lives in a Note on one phone, a spreadsheet nobody opens, or someone's head. NellyList is the life-list app for the two of you: pick the pursuit, put both your names on it, and watch the count grow. NOW ON IPAD Every list, with room to breathe: your lists in a sidebar, the details right beside them. Make a list live and it stays in step across iPhone and iPad — check something off on one, see it on the other. PICK A PURSUIT AND FINISH IT All 63 national parks. 100 books this year. Every Best Picture winner. Countries visited, state parks, the breweries, the 40 restaurants you keep meaning to try. Import a ready-made list from the free List Library in one tap, or build your own. The activity feed shows who updated the list, so the count stays straight without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet — and the leaderboard makes finishing the fun part. WHY NOT JUST A NOTE OR A PLAIN CHECKLIST A plain checklist forgets that two of you are doing this. NellyList keeps one count you can both see, on iPhone or iPad, shows who updated the list, and makes the finish worth celebrating — so nobody has to ask "wait, did we already do that one?" RANK IT AND SETTLE IT Ranked and comparison lists for the arguments worth having: the pizza places, the Bond films, the beaches. And when nobody can decide what's for dinner, spin the wheel. RUN THE WEEK TOO Live Lists are real-time to-do lists that stay in sync across your iPhones and iPads. Errands, the trip packing, the weekend, the school stuff, the chores nobody remembers. Someone adds an item from the aisle and it's on everyone else's screen straight away — no one has to agree to a "system" first. CREATE WITH NELLY Describe what you need in plain English — "packing list for three days in Lisbon with a toddler" — and Nelly builds the whole list in seconds. SPLIT A LIST INTO GROUPS One "Summer Vacation" packing list, a group for each person. Or a trip list split day by day. Each group is its own card: collapse it out of the way, tap its name to rename it, long-press to drag it into order, and spin the wheel on just that group. Checked-off items stay in their group, so everyone can see what's theirs — and when you share the list, the groups come with it. ALSO INSIDE * A free List Library of ready-made pursuits and checklists you can import in one tap * Labels to keep your own lists sorted on the My Lists screen * Reminders and recurring items for the things that come round again * Add items with Siri * Ordinary private lists too — not every list needs to be Live * Local-first: your lists live on your device and keep working with no signal WHO IT'S FOR Couples and pairs already mid-pursuit: the two of you with a parks map you're slowly filling in, a watchlist you're working through, a bucket list you've never actually written down. Families welcome too — the weekend, the trip, the packing, split by person. MADE FOR HOUSEHOLDS, NOT OFFICES No streaks. No guilt. No productivity scoring, no sprint boards, no work project management. NellyList is for personal life — the things you actually want to finish, with the people you want to finish them with. For everything you've ever said "we should do that" about: make the list, do it together, finish it.

What’s new
Version 1.7.1 · Updated October 22, 2026
Opening a list straight from a link, a reminder or a refresh no longer shows "We couldn't find that list" while your lists load. On Live Lists, item names now line up neatly with the add row above them. Nelly now walks you through the welcome screens, hopping from one to the next as each scene comes to life. And she's found her sense of humour. On iPad, the welcome screens now fit beautifully in landscape, and the banner on a list slides out of the way as you scroll. A fresh new app icon. Plus small fixes and reliability improvements.
