Getting Started

Your dashboard
See all your lists at a glance. Use the search bar or Cmd+K to find anything fast. Pin your favorites for quick access.

Creating Lists
Start from scratch
Tap "New" in the navigation. Give your list a title, pick a voting mode, and choose who can see it. That's it — you're live.
Use a template
Start from a pre-built template for common scenarios — restaurant picks, trip planning, team decisions, gift registries, and more.
Visibility
Private lists are for you and invited collaborators. Unlisted lists are accessible to anyone with the link. Public lists appear on the Explore page.
Unlisted is the default — perfect for sharing with friends via link
Categories & tags
Add a category and tags to organize your list. Public lists require a category so they're discoverable on the Explore page.
Voting Modes
Upvote
The simplest mode. Everyone upvotes their favorites. Items sort by total votes — the best ideas rise to the top.
Great for: restaurant picks, movie night, brainstorming
Up / Downvote
Like upvote, but participants can also downvote. Items rank by net score (upvotes minus downvotes) so controversial picks surface honestly.
Great for: opinionated groups, product feature prioritization
Ranked
Drag items into your personal ranking. The system aggregates everyone's rankings to find the group consensus order.
Great for: final decisions, top-N picks, awards
Checklist
Not a vote — a shared to-do list. Check items off as you complete them. A progress bar shows how much is done.
Great for: event planning, packing lists, project tasks
Wishlist / Claim
Each item can be claimed by one person. Perfect for gift registries, potluck signups, and volunteer coordination. Enable "secret claims" to hide who claimed what from the list owner.
Enable secret claims for surprise gifts — the owner won't see who got what
Date Poll
Find the best date for your group. Items are dates — participants vote Yes, Maybe, or No on each one. A calendar picker lets you select multiple dates at once by tapping or dragging. The date with the most Yes votes gets a "Best" crown.
Great for: scheduling meetups, events, dinners, trips
Set a time slot duration (30min, 1hr, etc.) for timed polls, or leave it as all-day
Connect your Google Calendar to see free/busy overlays on each date
Adding Items
Add one by one
Tap "Add an item" at the bottom of your list. Give it a title and optionally a description, images, and links.
Bulk paste
Paste multiple lines and they'll each become a separate item. A preview lets you confirm before adding them all at once.
Paste a list from Notes, a message, or a spreadsheet
Images & links
Attach up to 5 images and 10 links per item. Links automatically fetch a preview with title, description, and thumbnail.
Location
Add a location to items — great for restaurant lists, travel plans, and event venues. Locations display with a map pin.
Allow anonymous items
When enabled, anyone with the link can add items without an account. They enter a name and start contributing.
Decisions & Analytics
Making a decision
When the vote is clear, mark the winning item(s). A decision banner appears at the top of the list showing the result and your optional note.
Compare items
Select 2+ items to compare side-by-side. See vote counts, descriptions, and get AI-powered recommendations to help decide.
Analytics dashboard
Track total votes, participation, and trends over time. See vote distribution bars and a 14-day activity timeline.
Activity feed
A timeline of everything that happened — items added, votes cast, comments posted, members joined. Expandable at the bottom of every list.
Advanced Features
Blind voting
Hide all vote counts until the deadline passes or you manually reveal. Prevents groupthink — everyone votes independently.
Vote limits
Limit how many votes each person gets. Forces participants to choose their true favorites instead of upvoting everything.
Voting deadlines
Set a deadline and a countdown timer appears on the list. Voting automatically closes when time's up. Blind voting results reveal automatically.
Recurring lists
Automatically create a fresh copy of your list on a weekly or monthly schedule. Perfect for recurring team decisions.
Email to list
Forward emails to your list's unique address and they become items automatically. Great for collecting suggestions on the go.
Scheduled publish
Set a future date and your list automatically goes public. Useful for announcements, reveals, and timed launches.
Calendar integration
Connect your Google Calendar to date polls and instantly see which dates you're free or busy. A colored border and badge appear on each date card — green for free, red for busy, amber for partial conflicts.
Only you see your calendar data — it's private
Disconnect anytime from the date poll header
