Help and questions

Short answers to what people ask most. Didn't find yours? Write to us.

Getting started

Do I need an account?

No. Without an account, Listl keeps everything on your iPhone. If you want your lists on all your Apple devices, choose iCloud – you don't need an account with us for that.

To sync through Listl's server and to share lists yourself, you sign in with your LaCodea ID, the account for all apps by LaCodea. If someone invites you, you can join as a guest without an account.

Which devices does Listl run on?

On iPhone with iOS 26 or later and on Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later. The watch gets your lists from your iPhone.

Which languages does Listl speak?

English and German. Quick entry understands both – including Austrian and Swiss words like “Paradeiser” or “Rüebli”.

Does Listl work offline?

Yes. You can add and check off everything without a connection – in the supermarket basement, too. Listl syncs as soon as you're online again.

Households and sharing

What's the difference between a household and a shared list?

A household shares all of its lists – for the family or the flat. A shared list shares exactly one list, for example with a friend. Without Pro, you can have one household and one shared list of your own; joining others is always free.

How do I invite someone?

Open the household or list and invite – Listl creates a link and a QR code. An invitation is valid for seven days and can be used once. Anyone without an account joins as a guest.

What can guests do?

Guests take part where they're invited, with the role the invitation gives them. They can't create households or shared lists of their own, and their own lists stay on their iPhone. If a guest later signs in with a LaCodea ID, everything stays.

What is “Anything else?”

When you go shopping, let the others know with one tap. They get a notification and can add something right from it – it lands on your list while you shop.

How many people fit into a household?

Five without Pro, 100 with the Pro of whoever created it, 500 with Listl Max. If a subscription ends, everyone who's in stays in.

Privacy and your data

Who can read my lists?

Only you and the people you share with. Lists in iCloud and on Listl's server are end-to-end encrypted on your device. The server only sees who belongs to a household and when something changes – no names, items or prices. Details are in the privacy policy.

Where is my data stored?

You choose under Settings › Data and Sync: only on this device, in your iCloud or on Listl's server in Frankfurt am Main. Households, shared lists and guests always go through the server.

What if I lose my iPhone?

Your keys are in your iCloud Keychain: sign in on your new iPhone with the same Apple Account, and Listl opens your lists again. Without the iCloud Keychain, you need your recovery key – keep it in a safe place. If your lists lived only on the lost device, only a backup brings them back.

Does Listl use AI?

Only on your iPhone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the language model on the device helps read receipts and ingredients from websites – nothing leaves your device. More in AI in Listl.

How do I delete my data?

Under Settings › Privacy › Delete All Data, Listl deletes your data on the server, in iCloud and on this iPhone. Disconnecting Listl from your LaCodea ID or deleting your LaCodea ID also deletes everything on Listl's server. Backups stay where you put them.

Shopping and receipts

How does Listl learn my way through the store?

While you shop, Listl notes the order in which you check things off – for each store and branch. After a few trips, the list follows your way. You can also drag the order yourself.

How do I add receipts?

In the Purchases tab, scan paper receipts or choose photos and PDFs – or share an e-receipt to Listl. When you're done shopping, “Finish with Receipt” asks for it right away. Everything is read on your iPhone.

Which receipts can Listl read?

Paper receipts and e-receipts as photos or PDFs. Listl also reads the QR code some registers print and imports e-receipts from REWE and order lists from Amazon and Migros in one go. If a price is wrong, you can correct it.

Listl Pro and Listl Max

What does Listl cost?

Listl is free. Listl Pro costs €2.99 a month or €19.99 a year, Listl Max €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year (prices in Germany). Compare Free, Pro and Max.

Can I try Pro first?

Yes – if you subscribe to Listl Pro for the first time, the first week is free. Cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, and you pay nothing. Listl Max has no free week.

Does my family get Pro too?

Yes. With Apple's Family Sharing, up to five family members get Listl Pro too. Listl Max applies to your Apple Account only.

How do I cancel?

In your Apple Account settings – on iPhone under Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period; the subscription stays active until then.

What happens when my subscription ends?

Nothing is lost. Your lists, households and shared lists stay. The free limits apply again: above them, you can't create anything new in that area. Colors, app icon and the font for numbers go back to the default – and come back with a new subscription.

I bought Pro, but Listl doesn't show it.

Open Listl Pro in the settings and tap “Restore Purchases”. Make sure you're signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with.
