Psst is a real-time shared to-do app for two people or twenty. It gives you one shared list where someone adds milk, someone else grabs it, and everyone sees it happen live. Lists can be about anything — groceries, a move, or a Q3 launch — and adding an item is as simple as typing or talking, because Psst sorts out the dates and reminders for you. The app runs on iOS and Android, works offline, and starts on a free plan that needs no card. Psst is designed both for households and small groups who share everyday errands, and for teams that want to assign items, chat next to the tasks, and feel the small joy of a finished list.
Most shared planning breaks down in the same way: the shopping run lives in someone's head, the move lives in a group text, and the launch plan lives in a tool nobody opened. Psst's premise is that a list should keep up with the people on it rather than the other way around. Instead of collecting emails, chasing accounts, or standing up a workspace before you can start, Psst lets anyone join a list from a single link in seconds, on either an iPhone or an Android phone. On top of the shared list itself, Psst also tackles a quieter problem: remembering what things cost, so you can see whether a price has actually changed since last time.
How it works is deliberately three steps. First, make a list — add items by typing or talking, and Psst sorts out dates and reminders from what you say. Second, send one link: there are no emails to collect and no accounts to chase, so anyone with the link can join the list in seconds on iOS or Android. Third, check things off together, with everyone seeing progress live. Quick-add is built to understand plain language: type 'milk tomorrow 6pm' and Psst returns a structured item — Milk, Tomorrow, 18:00, with a reminder affordance — rather than a raw block of text.
Real time is the core of the experience: the whole list is live. A shared activity feed shows what changed and when — for example, that Yara checked off 'Reserve the cabin', that Marc added three items to Groceries twelve seconds ago, or that Tess joined a Q3 Launch list a minute ago. Because everyone sees the same state at the same moment, the classic 'did you already get it?' text becomes unnecessary. Assigning items is part of the same flow, along with roles, comments and an activity feed that keeps the record of who did what.
List chat keeps decisions next to the tasks they affect. Instead of splitting a conversation into a separate messaging thread, you can ask 'who's on dessert?' inside the list, see someone answer 'on it - assigned myself', and end up with the item 'Bring dessert · assigned to Yara'. The Today view then filters all of that noise down to one place: every item due today, pulled from every list you're on, laid out across morning, afternoon and anytime. A calendar view is available as the lists grow.
Psst is built to be yours anywhere. It works in airplane mode and syncs when you land, merging changes so nobody's edits are lost. There are five themes and four accents for personalizing the app, home-screen widgets let you glance at today and your lists without opening the app, and recent work has added Arabic and right-to-left polish across every screen. Your lists sync through your account, you can export them at any time, and deleting a list actually deletes it.
The broader approach behind Psst is restraint about the things it claims to know. Psst is a shared shopping list whose useful part is that it remembers what you paid. Photograph a receipt and the lines come back structured, each one showing a crop of the row it came from, along with what that item cost last time and where. The careful part is comparison: two prices in different units are never compared with each other, and comparison is done on unit price rather than the line total, so buying 2kg instead of 1kg is not treated as a price rise. Most of the work, in the product's own words, went into not saying something when it isn't sure.
The benefits follow from that: less coordination overhead, fewer missed items, and a single place where a household or a team can see what is done and what is left. Sharing is optional rather than required, so the same app works as a personal to-do list for people who only occasionally share a list. And because reminders, recurring items, a calendar view and collaboration roles arrive without standing up a workspace first, Psst can replace a dedicated task app without the setup cost — you can start with one list and scale to the whole team.
Concrete uses described for Psst include the grocery run, where one person adds milk and another checks it off as they pass the aisle; a household move, where items, reminders and assignments live on one list; and a Q3 launch, where a team joins by link, assigns items, and chats next to the tasks. The Today view is designed for the morning, afternoon and anytime sweep of everything due across all your lists. Integrations extend the same workflow: Google Calendar and Outlook sync due dates both ways, Slack turns messages into tasks and nudges you on what's due, and Zapier connects Psst to thousands of other apps.
Psst is aimed at both households and teams. The Free plan covers shared lists with live sync, roles, comments and an activity feed, list chat, the Today view, natural-language quick-add, and iOS, Android and offline use. Pro is $35.99 per year (about $2.99 a month, or $4.99 month to month) and adds unlimited lists, reminders and nudges, recurring items, a calendar view, themes and accent colors, and advanced collaboration roles. Family is $49.99 a year for up to six members, each keeping their own lists under one bill. Team is $79 per user per year and adds an admin console, member roles, SSO and SCIM provisioning, joining by company domain with approval, central billing and invoicing, and priority support. Every new account gets 7 days of Pro free with no card. A founding offer lets the first 150 people claim Individual Pro for life at $99 one-time or Household Family for life at $149 one-time.
In short, Psst treats a shared list as a living thing: real-time, chattable, assignable, and available offline, joined by a single link rather than an account dance. Add the Today view, calendar, reminders and recurring items, plus a shopping-list memory for what things cost, and you get one place that keeps up with your people — whether that is two people splitting groceries or twenty people shipping a launch.
