Let family add to a list, no account needed

Your spouse, kids or roommates can add to your lists by text message, by a private link, or by email, without signing up for anything.

Included on every plan

Anyone can add to one of your lists, even if they’ve never heard of Trillitask. There are three ways, and you can use all of them on the same list.

WayGood forWhat they do
By textA spouse or teen who lives on their phoneText a code word and the item, like “HONEY fix the gate”
By linkAnyone, on any deviceOpen a private link, type the item, tap Add
By emailForwarding things, older relativesSend an email to a mailbox you connect for the list

Set it up

Open Lists, pick the list, and click the share icon in the list’s header. The panel Let family add to this list has a section for each way.

What you see when someone adds something

  • A notification: “Sam added to Groceries”, with the item. It also reaches your phone if notifications are on.
  • The item on the list with Added by Sam.

Items people add stay on the list. They don’t jump onto your Today page unless you send them there with ←.

Let family text items to a list

Pick a code word for a list, add your family’s phone numbers, and they text “HONEY buy milk” to add it.

Share a private link to add to a list

Make a link anyone can open to add items to your list. No account, no app, no phone number needed.

Let family email items to a list

Connect a mailbox and point it at a list. Every email sent to that address becomes an item.
