I built a super simple collaborative to-do app (no signup, just share a link)

I’ve been building a small side project called **Lystta**. It is a fast, no-friction way to create and share to-do lists with anyone.

The idea came from a simple frustration: most to-do apps feel like an overkill when you just want to quickly make a list and share it with someone.

Key idea

No accounts, no installs, no permissions. Just open and start collaborating.

What it does

  • Create a list instantly (no signup, no forms)
  • Optional password protection for private lists
  • Works on mobile + desktop (browser-based)
  • Share it via link or QR code
  • Anyone with the link can:
  • Add/edit tasks
  • Assign labels
  • Set due dates
  • Mark things as done

Why I built it

I kept running into situations where I needed:

  • Something faster than Notion / Trello
  • More collaborative than Notes
  • Less friction than apps that require everyone to sign up

So I built the simplest version of that.

Other use cases I had in mind

These are some other the use cases I can see the app helping in with:

  • Planning trips with friends
  • Sharing chores with a partner
  • Group projects / small teams
  • Personal daily planning

Would really appreciate feedback on:

  • First impression / UX
  • Anything confusing or missing
  • Real use cases you’d want this for
  • Whether “no signup” is actually valuable or not

Happy to answer any questions or share more details
