How Listy Works

Listy is the SMS grocery list that lets your family text items directly to your shared list. No apps for them to download, no accounts to create. If they can text, they can use Listy.

Set up takes less than 5 minutes.

Start Texting!

When people text Listy, the items they send will show on your grocery list.

Simple text examples:

"milk" → adds 1 milk to your list
"2x bread" → adds 2 bread to your list
"5x apples" → adds 5 apples to your list
"peaches (not sure if we're out)" → adds peaches with a note
"4x eggs (organic)" → adds 4 eggs with a note

That's it!

You now have a shared grocery list that anyone can text items to.

No more forgotten items. No more "did you add it to the list?" No more group chat chaos. Just text Listy, and it's on the list.
