Lister is a list app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. The basics are included from the start: create, edit, reorder, flag, pin, archive and complete lists, kept in sync through iCloud.

More tools can be added: repeating routines, dates and reminders, quick capture, projects shown as calendar, timeline or board, Focus Mode, search, history and restore, secure lists, themes, export and print, and shared lists with member access. Smart Assist turns a photo into a list; recognition runs on device and credits are only used when a result is produced.

Why no subscription? Only partly. The core is free, but extra packs cost money: Everyday Lists, Project Planner and Find & Protect at $1.49 each, Complete Tools $2.99, Smart Assist Pack $1.49, and a 30-Day Project Pass $0.99. The listing does not state whether these are one-time payments. Lister Premium is a subscription ($0.99/month, $5.99/year).
