The classic potluck
20 friends, one dinner. List starters, mains, desserts, drinks with target counts. Each person picks what they bring; the host sees the menu balance at a glance.

YouTim Service
Who brings what,
without juggling chats
Potluck, BBQ, camping, moving day: list what's needed, set target quantities, and let everyone sign up for what they'll bring.
One shared list. Everyone sees who's bringing what.
List the items, set targets where it matters, and let participants commit. No more "did anyone bring napkins?" 20 minutes before the party.
- 🛒
Items with targets
Set a target quantity (e.g. 4 baguettes) or leave it open. Progress bars show what's still needed.
- 🤝
Fractional sign-ups
Two people can split a target. Each commits to their share, no spreadsheet needed.
- 🏷️
Tags & filters
Group items by tag (starters, drinks, gear…) and filter the list in one tap.
- 🔒
Exclusivity option
Some items need exactly one person (the cake, the speaker). Mark it exclusive and the list enforces it.
- 🕶️
Anonymity option
Hide names between participants while admins still see who's bringing what.
- 💬
Tied to chat & budget
Coordinate in the same group: chat, expenses, gallery, itinerary — all next to the list.

What YouTim Bring List actually does
A birthday party
Cake (exclusive — one cake!), decorations, paper plates, music gear. Tag-filter the list to see only the decor items, then the food.
Camping or hiking weekend
Tents, stove, headlamps, group food. Use the open-list option so anyone can add the thing they remembered last minute.
A moving day
Boxes, tape, dolly, snacks for the helpers. Target counts make sure you have enough hands and supplies on the actual day.
A family holiday meal
Christmas, Thanksgiving, big Sunday lunch: spread the load across the family. Anonymity hides who's bringing what when surprises matter.
A sports club outing
Match-day snacks, water bottles, first-aid kit. Tag by role so coaches and players each see what's relevant to them.

Frequently asked questions
Is YouTim Bring List free?
Yes, fully free, no in-app purchase, no ads.
What does the Bring List service do?
It lists what's needed for a group event and lets each member sign up for what they'll bring. Quantities and tags keep the list organised.
Can two people share one item?
Yes, items support fractional quantities. Five people can each commit to bringing two bottles of wine until the target of ten is reached.
How is this different from a Google Doc or WhatsApp message?
The list is tied to the group's YouTim: members already invited, real-time updates, exclusivity prevents duplicate commitments.
Can participants add their own items?
Yes, an option lets non-admin participants propose new items and manage tags.
Is the list private?
Yes, only group members see it. An anonymity option hides participants' names from each other.
A group bring list, built into the group itself
Organizing who brings what is the unsung admin task behind every group event. People fall back on long chat threads, half-tracked Google Docs, or signup forms that nobody refreshes. YouTim Bring List makes this part of the group's shared space: participants are already in, the list updates live, and the host doesn't chase replies.
For potlucks and shared meals
The classic case: a dinner where everyone brings a dish. Set categories as tags (starters, mains, desserts, drinks), put target counts where balance matters (one dessert per 3 guests), and the list balances itself as members sign up.
For outdoor events, camping and trips
A weekend camp or hike has different load: gear, food, group equipment. Fractional quantities let two people share a stove or three split the group meal, while exclusivity protects items that should be brought by exactly one person (the tent, the first-aid kit).
For moves, parties and one-off projects
Anything that brings a group together to collectively contribute stuff: birthdays, baby showers, moving day, school events. Tags keep the list scannable, push notifications keep stragglers from forgetting.
Combined with other group services
The list is fully part of the group: tied to the chat for coordination, the calendar for the event date, the budget to split costs, and the gallery for after-event photos.
GDPR & EU hosting
No advertising, no AI on your data. Your lists stay private to the group, hosted in Europe.
