Shopping List

Most households already share a shopping list in some form: a note on the fridge, a thread in the group chat, a list on one person's phone. The trouble starts when the person in the store and the people at home are looking at different versions. A shared list in Sepiko is one list that everyone sees change.

Before you start

Everyone you share with needs Sepiko and an iPhone signed in to iCloud. There is no account to create. Your Apple ID is all there is, and the list lives in your own iCloud.

Share in three steps

1
Open the list and tap People
It sits at the top of every list.
2
Send an invite
Invite by link, email or phone
3
They tap Accept
The list is theirs too. No sign-up for them.

Choose who can edit

Each person gets one of two roles. You can change it at any time.

Can Edit
Add, tick off and rename items, the same as you.
Can View
Sees every change, but can't make any.

What everyone sees

When someone adds or ticks off an item, the change lands on every device in seconds. If you're offline, changes sync when you're back online.

People
The People button opens the list of everyone who has joined.
On the free plan
You can share 1 list with 1 other person. Premium removes the limit on shared lists and people, and works with Apple Family Sharing.

Leaving or stopping a share

Anyone can leave a shared list, and the owner can stop sharing at any time. The list stays in the owner's iCloud.

One list. Everyone in sync.
