The shopping list, the trip and the boiler manual, shared with the people you live with.

Every home runs on a pile of small notes: what to buy, when the boiler was last serviced, the booking reference for August. Jotura keeps them in one folder you share with a partner or family. You can both edit the same list from your phones, and changes made at the same moment merge.

How it goes in practice.

  1. Make a home folder

    Create a folder for the house with a shopping list, trip plans, warranty notes and the bin days.

  2. Share it

    Share the folder with your partner as an editor. Share a single trip note with a parent as a viewer, so they can follow the plan without changing it.

  3. Use it in the shop

    Tick items off the list on your phone. Your partner sees the ticks after their phone next syncs.

  4. Plan the trip

    Keep the bookings, the packing list and the day-by-day plan in one note, with a date like @due(2026-07-30) on anything that has a deadline.

What helps along the way.

  • Shares are end-to-end encrypted to the people you invite. Each person on a share needs Jotura Sync.
  • Sharing one folder leaves the rest of your notes private.
  • Drop a warranty PDF into the folder and Jotura makes a searchable copy, so search finds it by what it says.
  • With Jotura Sync, version history brings back the list someone cleared by mistake.
