What is missing from Listy that is preventing you from using it everyday?

I'm looking for unconventional ways to improve the product and make it more appealing for those still in doubt. Looking forward to hear your suggestions!

Can I share my lists with other people? Can I share them publicly?

@steveb Actually we are right now building a new feature to share lists publicly! We will ship it in a few weeks! Collaboration will take a bit more time, but we are working on the foundational aspects of it!

@basiclines So excited to see you here! I know you already have an Export feature but 'd LOVE to have an import feature. Even if it's just a CSV or bulleted list or something that Listy can detect and match up to what's already in your database.


As you know, I'm already one of your paying customers but TBH, I haven't moved over from Apple notes because it would be a hassle for me to look up and upload each book, movie, restaurant, on my existing lists etc one by one. It's so time consuming that the pain outweighs the benefits for me to make the migration 😅


And +1 on @steveb 's request on being able to make a list public and choose specific lists to share and collaborate with others (even with our friends and family not on iOS 😅)

@ph_leeanntrang we do support some CSV files from Goodreds, IMDb and other sources but we will investigate how to import content from Apple Notes! Just out of curiosity do you have separated notes for different things like movies, books, etc? Maybe we can do something with the Shortcuts app

@basiclines yes I have separate apple notes for the different lists!

I use Listy for Books, Movies and Series. Sometimes for Recipes. So far so good, but for TV series it lacks the episode and season for control of which ones we have seen and even the sinopse of each episode. As an exemple, the TV series Mercato (Law & Disorder) from Jérémie Marcus (2024) Shogun from Justin Marks (2024) or Paradise from Dan Fogelman (2025) just appear as one episode. There is no information about watching times, individual sinopses, seen or not. Even a date, the one we have seen or a personal comment would be great.

@vkthor Agree, we still lack proper support for TV Shows! What will be the very single most important thing for you to have about TV Shows?

@basiclines Hi Ismael!

For me, the very single most important thing to have about TV Shows, is season and episode control.

I think it is a must have to have «The Great Serie to Watch» splited.

Season 1, 2, 3... and ep.1, 2, 3... for each season.

Basically, what I've said. A `to see/seen` switch because sometimes I have to choose from a list and I really can't remember if I've seen it or not. Sometimes the episode sinopse helps.

This is the most important thing to add to TV Series.


And if you want/can improve a little more

- a personal note for each TV Show. Maybe I need to write down something like


```

SkyShowTime S1 thru S3 and S6

Disney + S4 ep 1 thru 7

- lacks S5 and S4 ep 8 thru 10


Note: This is a great serie. I can watch it again and again for sure

```


I do not think making Listy green or yellow with fancy fonts and other bells and whistles would improve it.

For me, a light/dark/black theme and the already present ability to change the list name are good enough.

But (@HassanSajjad) track completed lists (and, why not, completed items) over time would be great.

Maybe I have free time to watch a new episode and opening Listy and filter TV Shows > to see > `a list of TV Shows not watched or incomplete` > choose `That Great Serie` and then have a list of episodes I have not watched to choose from.

I like the minimal design, but sometimes it feels too bare. A bit more customization like themes or icons might make it feel more personal.
