The potluck list that organizes itself.

Write what’s needed — one turkey, two pies, three salads — and share the link. Guests claim a dish with their name; once a dish has enough, it closes. Everyone sees what’s still missing, and nobody brings the fourth pasta salad.

Why a spreadsheet loses

A shared sheet lets anyone type anything, overwrite anyone, and is miserable on a phone — which is where every guest will open it. A list with quantities that close is a different thing: it can’t be double-claimed and it reads on any screen.

Bring lists, not just food

Same idea for a team (bats, water, snacks), a class (water bottle, shoes) or a block party (tables, a grill, ice). Attach the list to an event, a program or a community.

Included

• Quantities per dish, closed when covered.
• Courses: appetizer, main, side, dessert, drink, supplies.
• Guests can add their own dish.
• A standalone Thanksgiving list that needs no account at all.

How it works

1. List the dishesWith a number against each — or start from a template.
2. Share the linkIn the invitation, or on its own.
3. Guests claimA tap and a name. The dish closes when covered.

Questions

Can guests sign up for a dish without an account?

Yes. Open the link, tap the dish, type a name.

Can two people bring the same dish?

Only as many as you asked for. “2 pies” closes after the second claim.

Can I use it without making an invitation?

Yes — the Thanksgiving potluck list is a standalone tool with no account.
