What it is

List Buddy combines shared shopping lists, meal planning and event planning in an app for Android, iOS and web. Users can add list items by typing, voice, pasting or AI Smart Add, then share lists with real-time syncing. AI Smart Add can turn a description, such as preparing tacos for six, into a shopping list. The meal planner lays out the week's meals and can extract ingredients from a recipe URL into a list. Event tools include RSVP tracking, to-do checklists and themed shopping lists. Lists work offline: changes are stored locally and sync when the device reconnects. The free plan includes unlimited lists, up to two people per list, seven meals and five events per month, 15 AI Smart Adds and five photo uploads monthly. Premium adds unlimited meals, events, AI Smart Adds, photos and videos, plus Alexa and Siri hands-free control and web access. Premium Monthly costs $3.99 a month; Premium Annual costs $29.99 a year. The maker lists English, Spanish, French and Arabic and says personal information is encrypted, shared data is limited to invited people, and data is never sold.
