WE’LL GET IT SORTED

A little help.

Getting started, keeping things safe, and making Lissle yours.

Get Lissle on iPhone or the web

Download Lissle free from the App Store for iPhone, or use the website in Chrome, Edge or Safari. Sign in with the same Lissle account to access your saved lists and cards. Background store reminders need the iPhone app.

Start with a list

Open Lissle and choose “Start your first list”. Add one item, or separate a few with commas. Tick them off as you go. Tap a heart to save something you buy often; it will be waiting in Favourites.

Add shopping items by voice

Tap the microphone on a supported device, allow access and say one shopping item at a time. Pause briefly after each item so Lissle can add it automatically. Tap Stop when you have finished and check your list for anything that was misheard. You can also say “comma” or “next item” to separate items. If voice input is unavailable, you can always type.

Keep your things across devices

A guest profile is tied to this browser or installation. In You, create a free account before removing the app or clearing browser data. Your existing guest lists and cards stay with that account. Signing in to a different account shows that account’s data.

Share a list

Everyone creating or joining a shared list needs a free account. If you started as a guest, creating your account keeps your saved items. In Lists, choose Family or Party and create a list. Share its private invitation code with someone you trust. They enter it in the matching tab. Everyone who joins can add, tick and remove shared items. Keep the code private. Leaving a list keeps it available to the other people.

Plan Christmas gifts

Open Seasonal plans in You at any time of year. From September to December, Christmas also appears on Today. Create a plan and add children, your partner, other adults or pets. Children, Adults and Pets have separate sections. Keep Stocking and Under the tree gifts together for each recipient. Prices and budgets are optional. Choose pounds or US dollars when creating a plan. Everyone sharing that plan sees the same currency, and saved plans keep their original currency. Estimated cost covers all priced gifts; spent counts gifts marked Bought or Wrapped. Missing prices are flagged, so you can see when totals are incomplete.

Plans are private until you choose to invite a partner. You both need a free account to share a plan; guests can keep their own private plan. Family shopping list members do not automatically see them. Keep the partner code private; an invited partner can see and update children’s and pets’ lists. Adult and partner names, gifts, budgets and costs stay private to the plan owner and do not appear in the partner’s totals. Open or create your own plan to keep your private gifts when you have joined someone else’s plan. The owner can remove the partner at any time. Saved years remain available, and you can carry unbought gift ideas into next year without changing the original plan.

Report or block

On a Family or Party list, tap the flag beside an item, choose a reason and send your report. Report a list name from Invite & manage. Reported items are hidden from your view while Lissle reviews the concern. You can also contact hello@lissle.com.

To block a person, open Invite & manage and choose Block beside their member label, or choose Block this member from an item’s report screen. Confirming leaves every list you share with them and prevents either account joining a list containing the other. Other members keep their access. In You → Blocked people you can unblock someone; this does not automatically rejoin a list.

Cards at the checkout

Add cards with your camera, an image, or a number. Open a saved card to show its code. Tap Open larger code for a full-screen view; long barcodes turn sideways to use more of a portrait screen. Keep the screen bright and let the cashier scan it. If scanning fails, show the original image when available or ask them to enter the number. Some retailers require their own app or a physical card; acceptance is up to the retailer.

Store reminders

In You, turn on Store reminders. On iPhone, allow notifications and set Location to Always when iOS asks. You may need to open iPhone Settings → Apps → Lissle → Location to change this after the first prompt. Lissle prepares up to 20 nearby shops when opened or brought back into view.

iOS controls when a store boundary is detected. Detection can be delayed, and force-quitting the app, turning off location, or changing system settings can stop reminders. Open Lissle again after travelling to prepare shops in the new area. Store information comes from OpenStreetMap and may be incomplete. These reminders are a convenience, not a guarantee.

On the website, nearby shops can only be checked while Lissle is open. Background store reminders need the iPhone app.

Occasion reminders

Add an occasion in Dates, then enable Occasion reminders in You. The iPhone app prepares reminders at 9am, a week before, the day before, and on the day. It schedules the next 48 reminders; opening Lissle keeps them up to date. Mark a date sorted to stop its current reminders. Annual dates return next year.

Web reminders use a daily check and require browser notification permission. On iPhone, add the website to your Home Screen first. Device settings, Focus and network availability can affect delivery.

Use your shopping list without a connection

Update to Lissle 1.0.3 or later from the App Store. While you have Wi-Fi or mobile data, open each shopping list you want to use and let it finish loading. This saves it on that iPhone, ready for places with no signal.

You can then reopen your saved lists, add items and tick things off offline. Your changes stay on the phone, including after closing and reopening Lissle. When you reconnect, they sync with your account and shared lists. Other people will see those changes after you are back online, and their changes arrive then too.

You still need a connection to sign in, start a guest profile, create or join a shared list, report or block someone, or find new nearby shops. Keep the app installed and stay signed in until your changes have synced. On the website, offline access depends on what your browser has saved; use the latest iPhone app for these offline list improvements.

Invite a friend

In You, open Send to a friend to share or copy the App Store download link. You can also copy your personal web invitation. One credit is counted when a new friend joins through that web invitation and verifies an account within 30 days of creating it. App Store downloads, link taps and repeated shares do not count. Your private numbered badge shows your invitation total. There are no prizes or payments.

Remove your data

In You, choose Delete my account or Delete guest data. Registered users confirm their password. Your private lists, cards, occasions and account are deleted; shared items remain for others. If you cannot access your account, contact us from its email address so we can help verify ownership.
