MyListResortMaple alternative: how MyListResort compares
Maple set out to help families stay organized and connected, and to move the conversation about the mental load of running a household forward. Thousands of families made it part of their shared day to day. Its own announcement now says it will sunset on December 31, 2026, so this page answers the practical question that leaves: where do your family’s lists live next? Everything below about Maple comes from its own shutdown announcement, and is dated.

Shelf-life windows come from the USDA FoodKeeper, published by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (public domain). These are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations or guarantees: actual condition depends on storage and handling, and harmful bacteria may not have obvious signs. Follow package and official guidance; when in doubt, throw it out.

What MyListResort does
Once-opened freshness
Mark an item opened and the app shows an estimated quality window, using its built-in shelf-life guidance for hundreds of products. Scan a product barcode to add it without typing. No fridge inventory to maintain. Freshness is opt-in, per item, and it pings your phone as the estimate approaches.
These dates are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations; storage and handling vary, so follow package and official guidance and discard food when in doubt.
A calendar the whole house can read
Appointments, deadlines and events in Agenda, 30 days or Family views. The Family grid runs days across and hours down, with each event in the colour of the person it belongs to and an avatar row that narrows the grid to whoever you tap. Anyone on the list can answer, and say who is covering the pickup, so the school run is not settled in a group chat.
Shared and real-time
Share a list with your household and changes normally sync across connected devices in near real time. Network or service interruptions can delay updates. Owners, members and view-only roles are enforced by the server, not just hidden in the app.
Lists for everything
Groceries, chores with an allowance tally, home and car maintenance on a repeating interval, packing, projects on a board. One app instead of one per job.
