Everyday organization
Tasks, groceries, recipes, and the week's meals in one place.
Your day at a glance
Tasks that need attention and today's meals, together. Home shows what is overdue, what is due today and what's for dinner.
Subtasks and due dates
Break big jobs into steps and repeat routine ones. Tasks take due dates, daily, weekly or monthly repeats, and notes.
Groceries with amounts
Quantities, units and store sections on every item.
Plan the week's meals
Pick a recipe or jot down a meal for any day.
Save your recipes
Keep ingredients and servings with each recipe.
Shop from your meal plan
Generate a grocery list from the week's recipes. Amounts are combined across meals, and you choose which ingredients to add.
Back up and restore
Export to a file you choose. Restore previews it first.
Built for daily convenience: A home-screen widget shows a pinned list, and Dark, Light, or System appearance can be chosen in Settings.
Privacy & companion options
Your data stays under your control.
Your data
- Lists you make without an account are stored only on your phone. EchoList has no ads, no analytics library, and no access to your location or contacts.
- Export a backup to a file you choose. Keep your exports safe: uninstalling or clearing app storage removes unexported data, and EchoList cannot recover local data from its server.
- Signing in to EchoList Family (invitation-only preview) never uploads your phone's lists by itself. You can choose to copy them, and the originals stay on your phone.
EchoList Family (invitation-only preview)
Optional EchoList Family is currently an invitation-only preview for sharing and cross-device access. EchoList Family (invitation-only) requires an invited account and active access.
Signing in does not automatically upload local data. You can explicitly copy standard and grocery lists to EchoList Family (invitation-only preview) while keeping local originals. Local recipes and meal plans are not included in that copy.
EchoList for Windows
EchoList for Windows is a hosted EchoList Family (invitation-only) companion with a pinned-list view and view-only meals. It does not provide local Android synchronization or recipe editing.
The 64-bit Windows companion requires an invited EchoList Family (invitation-only) account and a network connection; the self-contained build needs no separate .NET install.
