Three steps.
- 1Make a circle
Family, flat, trip. A circle is the people a list belongs to, and one circle of your own is free.
- 2Send the link
They open it and they are in. There are no codes to type, and your contacts are not uploaded.
- 3Add and tick
Anyone adds a line, anyone ticks it off. Each line shows who added it and who did it.

What it does for you.
The others hear about it
When someone adds to the list or ticks something off, the rest of the circle is told. A whole shopping list written in one go makes one notification, not one for every line.
You see who did what
Every line carries the name of whoever added it, and of whoever ticked it off.
Or just say it
“Add milk to the family list.” “I bought the eggs.” With Pro, the chat finds the right list and the right line.
More than a list
The same circle shows when everyone is free, and anyone can propose a time for the thing the list is for.
A list inside a line
A line on a shared list opens to a description and to items of its own. “Shopping” can hold milk, bread and eggs, each ticked off in the shop, and the line shows how far along it is: 2 / 5.
Add the items one at a time, or all at once: a list typed with commas, or pasted line by line, becomes an item each. A line holds up to a hundred.
Everyone in the circle reads the description and can change it, and anyone adds, ticks, renames and removes items. Ticking an item tells nobody: the circle hears when the line itself is added or done.
Your tasks and shared lists
Your own tasks are yours: things that need doing but no hour yet, with a description, a checklist or a reminder if you want one. A shared list belongs to a circle, and its lines take a description and items the same way. Both sit on the Tasks tab, so there is one place to look.
What it costs
Shared lists are free. So is one circle of your own and joining any circle you are invited to, which means two people can share a list without either paying. TimeLoop Pro lifts the limit on circles of your own.
Asked before you asked.
How do I share a list?
Make a circle and send its link. Whoever opens the link is in the circle and sees its list. There are no codes to type and your contacts are not uploaded.
Who sees what?
Everyone in the circle sees the circle’s list, with who added each line and who ticked it off. Your own tasks stay yours.
Are the others told when something is done?
Yes. Adding a line or ticking one off tells the rest of the circle, once for a burst of changes. Ticking an item under a line tells nobody.
Can a line have a checklist of its own?
Yes. A line opens to a description and up to a hundred items that anyone in the circle adds and ticks off, and it shows how many are done. A list typed with commas becomes an item each.
How many shared lists are free?
Each circle has a list. One circle of your own is free, and so is every circle you join.
Do iPhone and Android work together?
Yes. A circle does not care which phone each person has.
A shared calendar only works if everyone fills it in. In TimeLoop each person plans their own day, and the circle shows when you are all free.
Read For couplesCouplesYou do not need one calendar that both of you fill in. Each keeps their own, and a circle of two shows when you are both free and holds the list you share.
