A shared shopping list for couples and families
Updated
Keep a single list for the house and share it with a link. Whoever is at home adds items, whoever is in the shop ticks them, and you both see the same list straight away. Tickalot asks for no account, so a partner or a teenager joins with one tap.
A week for two
Anna runs the house, and Ben shops on his way home from work.
- Anna builds the list from her usual items, then deletes what the fridge still holds.
- She shares it in WhatsApp. Ben taps the link once, and the list stays on his phone.
- Later she adds potatoes. While his app is open, Ben's phone says "You are asked to buy 50 potatoes".
- Ben ticks items in the shop. Anna sees every tick, so she knows the milk is sorted.
- Ben finds 1 pack of croissants out of 2. He marks 1 as taken. Both phones show "1 of 2" in amber, and Anna knows to pick up the other one.
Ask for the exact product
- A photo tap the emoji of an item and photograph the right box. The other phone shows that picture.
- A note type "croissants 2 packs of 3". The app takes 2 as the amount and keeps "of 3" as the note.
- Brands "Tim Tams" gets a biscuit emoji and lands under Snacks.
Speak instead of typing
Say "milk, eggs organic and bread" into the microphone. You get three items, and "organic" becomes the note on the eggs. Tickalot understands English and Russian.
Three people or more
Send each person the same link. Each of them opens the same list and sees every tick. The link alone opens the list, so keep it inside your family chat.
Lists clean up after themselves
3 hours after the last tick, the list moves to the archive at the bottom of the home screen. A list left unchanged for 2 weeks moves there as well. Open the archive to reuse an old list.
