The home list,in everyone's pocket
You add bread on the way home and everyone sees it at once. The list sorts itself by shop, and at the till your loyalty card is one tap away.

Shared list
One list, on everyone's phone
Two of you or five of you. What you add, they see at once. What you tick off disappears for everyone. The history keeps who added what and when, so “I already got that” is over.
Sorted by shop
In the shop, only what you came for
Put a shop on an item and the list groups itself. Over fifty chains are built in, and the corner shop on your street you simply type in.

Wallet
The card you always hunt for at the till
Scan your loyalty cards once and stop digging through your wallet. The barcode fills the screen and the screen stays awake. Cards are personal: nobody else on your list can see them.
Ask first
Standing at the shelf, not sure
Send it as a question instead of an item. Whoever is home gets a notification. Yes puts it on the list, no keeps it off, and nobody has to make a phone call.
There is a bit more
More than one list
Home, work, friends. Different people on each one, and your wallet stays yours alone.
Works without signal
The list opens instantly and keeps working at the back of the shop. Changes go out when you are back.
In your own language
Everyone on a list reads it in their own language. It is still the same list.
A nudge when you are near
Turn it on and vink tells you when you pass a shop you have something to buy at.
How to start
Three steps, two minutes
Make your list
An email address, a password, a name for the list. That is all it takes.
Invite someone
Send them the link. One tap and you are both on the same list.
Start typing
Add the first item. Everything after that takes care of itself.
We do not sell your data, because that is not our business
No analytics, no tracking cookies, no system watching who buys what. Your account and your lists are hosted in the European Union, in our infrastructure provider's Frankfurt region.
Location is off until you turn it on, and even then your exact position never leaves your phone. You can download everything as a single file and delete your account for good from inside the app.

Things people ask before they try it
Is vink free?
Yes. vink is free, for every list and every person on it. There is no subscription and nothing to unlock.
Which shops does it know?
Over fifty chains in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Turkey — Albert Heijn, Jumbo, PLUS, Lidl, ALDI, Etos, Kruidvat, Holland & Barrett, REWE, Edeka, dm, Migros, BİM, A101 and more. Any other shop can be typed in by hand.
Can I keep my Albert Heijn Bonuskaart or other loyalty cards in it?
Yes. Scan the barcode once or type the number; at the till the card fills the screen at full brightness. Cards are private to you — nobody else on the list can see them.
How do two or more people share one list?
One person makes the list and sends an invite link. Whoever opens it is on the same list; what one adds, everyone sees instantly. A list can have as many people as you like, and you can have several lists.
Does it work without signal in the shop?
Yes. The list opens instantly from the phone's own copy and keeps working at the back of the shop. Changes are sent as soon as there is signal again.
Where is my data stored, and is it sold?
In the European Union, with a provider in the Frankfurt region. Nothing is sold or shared with advertisers, there is no tracking across other apps, and you can export or delete everything from inside the app.
Is there an iPhone or Android app?
Yes for iPhone: vink is on the App Store. On Android and on a computer, vink runs as a web app that you can add to the home screen like a normal app.
Worth a try this week?
Get it from the App Store on iPhone, or open it in your browser on any phone. Same list either way.
