Getting Started: Setting Up Your Family

One family member (usually the primary shopper) downloads Family List and creates the family account. This person becomes the family organizer.

You get a 60-day free trial to try all premium features! After the trial, it's only $6.99 per year to keep the family sharing active.

- Download the Family List app on their iPhone
- Open the app and select "Join Family"
- Scan the family QR code displayed by the organizer
- That's it! Everyone is now connected
3 Start Shopping Smarter
Once everyone is connected, the magic begins. Every family member can add items, see real-time updates, mark purchases, and view who added what.
How Family List Works in Daily Life
Morning: Building the List
Mom notices you're running low on milk and adds it to the "Weekly Grocery" list. Dad is making breakfast and realizes you need eggs - he adds those too. Your teenager wants snacks for school and adds granola bars. All these items appear on the shared list instantly.
Afternoon: Shopping Trip
Dad stops by the grocery store on his way home from work. He opens Family List and sees all 15 items that have been added throughout the day, organized by store category. He grabs everything in the produce section, then moves to dairy, marking each item as purchased.
Evening: Purchase History
Later, Mom opens the app and sees that Dad already bought the milk and eggs. She can see they're in the "Purchased" tab and knows she doesn't need to buy them again.
Smart Features That Save Time
Category Organization
Items are automatically organized by store category, so you can shop more efficiently. Instead of zigzagging through the store, tackle all produce items at once, then dairy, and so on.
Quantity & Notes
Need more than one of something? Add quantity notes like "2 gallons of milk" or specify preferences like "organic milk" and "the blue box pasta" so family members buy exactly what you need.
Real-World Benefits
Save Money
Stop buying duplicate items. No more forgotten items forcing extra trips to the store.
Save Time
Shop efficiently with organized lists. No more wandering the store trying to remember what you needed.
Reduce Waste
Add items as soon as you run low. Less likely to run out or forget essentials.
