No account, no tracking
Shopping list without sign-up – just start
No registration, no password, no "please confirm your email". With MerkIchMir you get the app, type your first shopping list and head out. You only need an account once you want to share a list with others.
How to start
- Get MerkIchMir from the App Store.
- Open the app, tap new list, give it a name – "Tesco", "Weekend".
- Type points in, or add a photo of the right brand.
- Done. No sign-in screen, no confirmation email.
What happens with your data – in short
- Private lists stay on the device. Without an account no list leaves your iPhone.
- No tracking. The app contains no analytics, crash or advertising SDK – verifiable in the privacy policy.
- No ads, no passing on. Nobody but you cares about your shopping.
- Login without a password. If you do create an account, a one-time link comes by email – nothing to remember, nothing that can be stolen.
When an account is worth it
As soon as you want to share a list with a partner, family or flat share, you need an account – only then does the list have to come together somewhere. A shared list lives in the cloud and is there on every device where you sign in with your email; private lists stay local. Email and list texts then sit on a server in Germany; only photos on shared lists additionally end up with a cloud provider in the USA. All spelled out in the privacy policy. How sharing works is on Share a shopping list.
