Psst is a real-time shared to-do and shopping list app built for two people or twenty. You make a list — groceries, the move, the Q3 launch — and send one link so anyone can join it in seconds on iOS or Android, then everyone checks things off together and sees progress live. The shared list is the backbone, but the capability Psst singles out as the genuinely useful part is memory for prices: photograph a receipt and the lines come back structured, each one showing a crop of the row it came from, what that item cost last time, and where. Lists are free to start, with no card needed.
The everyday problem Psst addresses is the gap between a list one person keeps and the reality of several people acting on it. Someone adds milk, someone else grabs it, and both should see it happen — which is why Psst is real time rather than something you refresh. A harder problem sits on the price side. Knowing whether something actually got more expensive usually depends on remembering what you paid, and the naive comparison is often wrong: totals move when quantities change, and two prices quoted in different units cannot be lined up at all. Psst's stated approach is to remember what you paid and then be careful about what it claims.
Receipt capture is where that care shows. You photograph a receipt and the lines come back structured, each item showing a crop of the row it came from, along with what that item cost last time and where it was bought. The product description is explicit that most of the work went into not saying so when it isn't sure. Two prices in different units are never compared, and comparison is on unit price rather than the line total, so buying 2kg instead of 1kg is not reported as a price rise. In practice that means the price history stays useful instead of becoming a stream of false alarms.
Getting a list going takes three steps as Psst describes them. First, make a list for whatever the occasion is — groceries, a move, a launch — adding items by typing or talking, with Psst sorting out dates and reminders from what you wrote. Second, send one link: there are no emails to collect and no accounts to chase, and anyone with the link joins the list in seconds on iOS or Android. Third, check things off together, with everyone seeing progress live, items assignable, and chat sitting right next to the tasks.
Quick-add is built around typing the way you would say it. Entering "milk tomorrow 6pm" produces an item called Milk with tomorrow's date, an 18:00 time and a reminder attached, so dates and reminders come out of plain language rather than a form. List chat keeps decisions next to the work: Psst's own example has someone asking who's on dessert, a reply taking it on, and the item "Bring dessert" assigned to that person. Coordination and the task list live in the same place instead of being split across messages somewhere else.
Real time is the connective tissue. A live feed shows activity as it happens — Yara checked off "Reserve the cabin" now, Marc added 3 items to Groceries, Tess joined Q3 Launch a minute ago — and a recent update made sync faster and more reliable on shared lists, with fewer hiccups when several people edit at once. The Today view gathers every item due today from every list you're on into a single place, organized into morning, afternoon and anytime, so the day's commitments don't require opening list after list.
Psst is designed to be usable wherever you are. It works in airplane mode: add and check off items anywhere, and everything syncs the moment you're back online, merging changes without losing anyone's edits. Five themes and four accents let you adjust how it looks. It also lives where people already work through integrations connected from settings → integrations: Google Calendar and Outlook both sync due dates two ways, Slack turns messages into tasks and nudges you on what's due, and Zapier wires Psst into thousands of other apps. Recent changelog entries added home-screen widgets for glancing at today and your lists without opening the app, plus Arabic and right-to-left polish across text, menus and layout.
The practical benefit is a list that stays accurate while several people act on it, and reminders that keep it moving. Psst says it is serious enough to replace a task app: assign items, set recurring tasks and reminders, keep a calendar view, and watch activity land in real time — without standing up a workspace first, starting with one list and scaling to the whole team. Your lists are yours: they sync through your account, you can export them anytime, and deleting a list actually deletes it. Plenty of people also use Psst alone as a personal to-do app and share only the occasional list, since sharing is optional rather than required.
The use cases Psst names are ordinary and specific. A household shares one grocery list so whoever is at the store checks things off while everyone else sees it happen, then photographs the receipt so prices are remembered for next time. A family of up to six keeps separate lists on one bill and shares lists across the household in a tap. A team runs something like a Q3 launch, joining by link or by company domain and following progress in the activity feed. A move holds everything from reserving the cabin to packing. And an individual keeps a personal list with dates, reminders and a Today view across every list.
Pricing moves from free to a whole organisation. The free plan covers shared lists with live sync, roles, comments and an activity feed, list chat, the Today view, quick-add with natural language, and iOS, Android and offline use. Pro is $35.99 a year ($2.99 a month equivalent) or $4.99 month to month, adding unlimited lists, reminders and nudges, recurring items, a calendar view, themes and accent colors, and advanced collaboration roles. Family is $49.99 a year ($4.17 a month equivalent) or $5.99 month to month for up to six people, each keeping their own lists on one household bill. Team is $79 per user a year ($6.58 per user a month) or $7.99 per user month to month, adding an admin console and member roles, SSO and SCIM provisioning, joining by company domain with approval, central billing and invoicing, and priority support. Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro free, no card, then drops to the free plan. A founding offer lets the first 150 people pay once and keep Psst for life — $99 for Founding Individual Pro or $149 for Founding Household, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Psst's core value proposition is a shared list that keeps up with the people on it, combined with a price memory that stays honest about what it knows. One link replaces the email collection and account chasing, live sync replaces the "did you see my message" loop, and careful receipt-based price tracking tells you what something cost last time and where — while staying quiet when a comparison isn't safe to make.
