Frequently Asked Questions

What is Intellist?โ–ผ
Intellist is a free iPhone app for making lists and managing home inventory. It combines flexible checklists (shopping lists, to-do lists) with detailed inventory tracking for your pantry, storage boxes, freezer, garage, and more. It also supports NFC tags โ€” tap your phone on a tag to instantly see what's inside any container.
Do I need NFC tags to use Intellist?โ–ผ
No. NFC tags are completely optional. Everything in Intellist works without them. You can search for items, browse by room, and manage all your lists directly in the app. NFC tags just add a faster, more physical way to access a specific container's contents.
Is Intellist free?โ–ผ
Intellist is free to download and the core app works without a subscription โ€” you get up to 3 lists, unlimited items per list, and NFC tag scanning. A Pro subscription unlocks unlimited lists, smart automations, and group sharing, starting at $4.99/month for individuals or $9.99/month for families (annual plans available). Every Pro subscription includes a free 2-week trial.
What NFC tags work with Intellist?โ–ผ
Intellist works with any standard NFC tag. We recommend NTAG215 or NTAG216 tags, which cost about $0.15โ€“$0.50 each. You can find them on Amazon and other retailers. Just stick them on your boxes, bins, shelves, or containers.
What iPhones support NFC with Intellist?โ–ผ
iPhone 7 and later can read NFC tags. iPhone XS and later can both read and write NFC tags, which is needed to set up tags with Intellist.
Can I share lists with my family?โ–ผ
Yes. Intellist includes family sharing so household members can all see where things are stored and what needs restocking. Everyone stays on the same page.
How is Intellist different from Sortly?โ–ผ
Sortly is designed for businesses and starts at $49/month. It uses QR codes and barcodes. Intellist is free to download, designed for home use, and uses NFC tags for instant tap-to-view access. Premium plans start at $4.99/month โ€” a fraction of Sortly's $49/month. If you're organizing your home rather than managing commercial inventory, Intellist is the better fit. See the full comparison โ†’
How do the smart automations work?โ–ผ
You can set up automations so that when an item's quantity drops below a threshold in your inventory, it gets automatically added to a shopping list. For example, when you're down to your last carton of eggs, Intellist can add eggs to your shopping list automatically.
When does Intellist launch?โ–ผ
Intellist launches on March 31, 2026. You can pre-order it now on the App Store and it will automatically download on launch day.
Why not just take a photo of what's in a box?โ–ผ
Photos go stale the moment you add or remove something. Intellist keeps a live, searchable inventory you can update in seconds, search across every container at once, and share with your family. With NFC tags, checking a box's contents is faster than finding the right photo in your camera roll.
