Create free, shareable lists that sync instantly across all devices. No account needed.
You create a list. You get a URL. Anyone who opens that URL is editing the same list — adding items, checking things off, dragging to reorder. Changes sync across all devices in real time. No accounts for anyone, not even the person who created it.
There are no tags, no folders, no due dates, no permission levels. The link is the sharing mechanism, and simplicity is the point. If you need Gantt charts, this is the wrong tool. If you need "did everyone pack their passport," this is the right one.
Most shared-list tools — Google Keep, Microsoft To Do, Todoist, Trello — want everyone who touches the list to install an app and create an account first. Online List Maker doesn't. There's no signup, no app, no ads, and no paywall: you create a list, you get a link, and anyone who opens that link can add items and check things off in real time. That's the whole product, and it's free forever.
If you've been searching for a free shared shopping list, a collaborative to-do list with no sign-up, a real-time checklist you can share with a link, or a Google Keep alternative that doesn't make the other person register, this is it.
1. Create a list — Type a name (or don't) and hit "Create List." You'll get a unique URL for your list in under a second.
2. Add your items — Type items and add them to the list. Drag to reorder, tap to edit, check off when done. Checked items move to the bottom automatically.
3. Share the link — Copy the URL and send it to anyone. They don't need an account or an app — just open the link and start collaborating. Changes sync instantly across every device.
Create as many lists as you need, forever free.
Anyone with the URL can view and edit the list.
Changes appear instantly across all browsers.
Grocery lists that both partners edit throughout the week. Potluck coordination where twelve people sign up for dishes. Moving checklists split between "done" and "landlord expects." Group trip packing where someone needs to bring the first aid kit and everyone else needs to know it's covered. The pattern is always: multiple people, one list, nobody wants to install an app.
