Local-first utility software · Free local Android mode · Optional paid sync

Lists that stay useful after the novelty wears off.

Local List Assist is built for people who want grocery trips, household tasks, travel prep, and recurring checklists to feel fast, private, and organized. The Android app works free in local mode and offers optional paid sync for backup, multi-device access, and shared spaces. The Home Assistant version stays local-only.

Why this exists

Utility software, not engagement bait.

Most list apps either drown simple tasks in collaboration clutter or hide basic features behind subscription pressure. Local List Assist takes the opposite approach: fast entry, strong defaults, local-first behavior, and paid sync only for the people who actually need it.

Grocery flow

Category-aware when it matters

Use grocery-style categories for aisle flow, then switch to flat lists when you just need to get things out of your head.

Private by default

Local-first storage

The Android app is useful in free local mode first. If you want multi-device access or shared spaces, optional paid sync is available.

Two product paths

Standalone or Home Assistant

Use the Android app on its own, or install the free Home Assistant version if you already live inside HA and want to stay fully local.

Products

Pick the version that matches your setup.

The Android app is for everyone. The Home Assistant integration is for people who already run HA and want the same product philosophy inside their local smart home environment.
