sLists.

Plain lists. With deadlines.

A list is a list. Items you can check off, deadlines that nudge you, and auto-reset for the lists you redo every week. No projects, no inboxes, no AI. Add Sync when you need it.

What it is, in three words

What’s inside

Six features. All of them.

There is no long tail. These six are the whole app. If you need a seventh, it probably belongs in a different app — and if that app doesn’t exist, maybe we’ll make it.

Lists

Add, check, done.

Tap to add. Tap to check. Swipe to delete. Nothing else to learn.

Deadlines

Items that don’t forget.

Give an item a due date and sLists will nudge you the day it matters. No streaks, no guilt.

Sync

Across your devices.

Optional Sync subscription keeps lists in step on every phone you sign into. Off by default.

Auto-reset

Reset themselves automatically.

Mark a list daily, weekly, or monthly. Items un-check on schedule.

Sharing

Send a list anywhere.

Hand off a list as text or a CSV file. Messages, Mail, anything.

Yours

Tune the look to suit you.

Pick an icon, an accent colour, a font size. Then forget settings exist.

Every list app we tried wanted to become a project manager. sLists doesn’t. It wants to be the place your grocery list lives, with a deadline when it actually has one.

§ 01What it is

sLists is a single-purpose app for writing down lists. Groceries, packing, a book stack, Sunday chores. You add items, check them off, set a deadline if it matters, and reset the whole list when the week starts again. That’s the app.

§ 02What it does

Every list is an object. Make as many as you want. Long-press to rename, swipe to delete, tap an item for a due date, auto-reset the list on a schedule. The grid above is every feature.

Software for lists should be as simple as the paper it replaced.

§ 03What it won’t do

No projects, no inboxes, no subtasks, no priorities, no calendar view, no AI suggesting your shopping list, no “weekly review” nag. If you want those, use a task manager — there are excellent ones. This is not one.

And no live collaboration. Sharing goes through the system share sheet — text or a CSV file. If you need a list that updates on someone else’s phone live, look elsewhere.

§ 04Who it’s for

People who keep lists. People who keep grocery lists. People who want a deadline that quietly arrives without a project plan attached. People who close overcomplicated list apps in frustration within the first week.

App Privacy

Local first. Sync when you ask.

Signed out, sLists never touches the network. Sign in with Apple or Google to turn on Sync, and your lists travel between your devices through your Sapplify Account. Nothing else gets uploaded. Nothing gets sold.
