Pacelli
A peaceful, organised home
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Pacelli is a household management app for families, couples and roommates — a peaceful home, organised with love.
Everything your household shares, in one private place:
• Tasks — assign chores, set due dates and priorities, break work into subtasks
• Checklists — groceries and shopping lists everyone can tick off
• Weekly plans — sketch out your days and meals together, then finalise them
• Household manual — keep how-tos, schedules and notes where everyone finds them
• Search — find anything across your household instantly
• Household sharing — invite members by email, everyone stays in sync
Private by design:
• Your household content is end-to-end encrypted on your device — we can't read it
• A clear in-app view of exactly what is and isn't encrypted
• Your data is yours — export a full backup of your household as a JSON file at any time
• "Burn all data" deletes everything, including your account, in one flow
• No ads, no tracking, no subscriptions. Free.
Use it instantly as a guest — no account needed. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email whenever you want to keep your data across devices. Available in English, Spanish and Italian.
more A more honest privacy screen.
• The Privacy & encryption screen now says exactly what the encryption protects against, and what it does not. In particular it no longer says that nobody operating the servers can read your content or photos: with the current key design the developer could, and we say so while we replace it.
• It also explains what happens when you connect an AI assistant.
Nothing else changes.
1.11.3 Oct 4
Housekeeping for households.
• When the last person in a household deletes their account, any AI assistant that was connected to it is disconnected and the household's data goes with them, instead of being left behind.
• The "Who can erase shared data" screen now says exactly what the setting does and does not cover.
• Product details with unusual nutrition numbers can no longer close the app.
1.11.2 Sep 23
Shopping lists you can cost before you go.
• Long item names now wrap onto as many lines as they need instead of being cut off.
• Items with a shelf price show it under the name, with the line total when you buy more than one.
• A total at the foot of the list adds up every priced item, and once you start ticking things off it splits into what is in the trolley and what is still to get. Items without a price are left out and counted, so you know what the total covers.
1.11.1 Sep 23
Shopping lists that know what they are.
• Tap the picture on a shopping-list item to see it large enough to match against the shelf, with the price when it was added, ingredients (allergens in capitals), storage and nutrition. It all lives on the item, so it reads fine with one bar of signal in the aisle.
• Lists built by your assistant from the Dunnes Stores catalogue now arrive with a picture of the exact product on every row.
1.11.0 Sep 22
Two different things stop being one button.
• "Burn all data" has become "Delete data", with the two things it used to do kept apart. Burning the household's shared content — tasks, checklists, plans, photos, the manual — is now separate from deleting your own account.
• The person who created the household chooses who can erase what everyone shares: only them, only people they name, anyone in the household, or nobody. Households that already exist start at "only the creator", which is a change from anyone being able to.
• Deleting your own account is always available to everyone and is never affected by that setting.
• Long task titles now wrap instead of being cut off when you open a task.
1.10.0 Aug 26
Photos that keep up, and a tidier way to leave.
• A photo now appears the moment it arrives. If someone else in the household adds one while you are looking at a task, it turns up on its own — no going back and in again — and the "arriving" label on your own photo clears itself as soon as the upload finishes.
• Deleting your account no longer removes anybody else. It takes your account, your data and your place in the household, and leaves everyone else's household exactly as it was.
• The code you use to connect an AI assistant now disappears from your clipboard when it expires, instead of sitting there afterwards.
1.9.0 Aug 24
Photos, on anything.
• Add a photo to a task, a subtask or a shopping item. Take one or pick one — it appears straight away, and everyone in the household sees it.
• A shopping item shows its picture in the list, so whoever does the shop gets the right brand without opening anything.
• All your photos in one place — Search now has a Photos view. Every picture with what it belongs to underneath.
• Find a photo by typing. Your phone reads the words in a picture, so a boiler serial number or the name on a coffee bag becomes something you can search for. That happens on your phone; no photo is sent anywhere to be looked at.
• The readable copy of every photo stays on your own phone, in a Pacelli folder you can open in the Files app. What is stored for the household is encrypted, like everything else. Location data is removed before a photo is saved.
• Your data export now includes your photos.
1.8.0 Aug 23
Connect an AI to your household.
• Connect an AI — pair a tool like Claude with your household from Settings. It joins as its own member, so what it changes is recorded as its work and never as yours, and you can disconnect it in one swipe.
• Item quantities are now encrypted on your device before they are stored, like everything else you type. Quantities already saved are upgraded quietly as they are opened.
• Fixed: pressing return in the Qty field did nothing, and the item you had typed was lost.
• Deleting a checklist item is easier to find.
1.7.0 Aug 22
Reusable shopping lists.
• Templates — build a list once, save it as a template, and anyone in your household can turn it into a fresh list whenever they need it. Handy for the weekly shop.
Save one from any checklist: open it, tap "Save as template", give it a name. Your templates then appear at the top of the Checklists tab.
1.6.0 Aug 19
Pacelli can now lock itself.
• Face ID — turn on "Require Face ID" in Settings › Privacy and Pacelli locks whenever you switch away from it. Your data was always encrypted; this stops someone holding your unlocked phone from reading it.
• Checklist items can be edited — change an item's name or quantity in place, instead of deleting it and starting again.
• "Send feedback" has moved to its own Help section in Settings, so you can actually find it.
1.5.0 Aug 14
Notifications from the other person.
When someone else in your household adds a task, your phone now tells you — and
it tells you what the task was, not just that something happened.
That last part is the interesting bit. Pacelli encrypts your tasks so that only
your household can read them, which normally means a notification can't say
anything useful. Here the task's name arrives still encrypted and is unlocked
on your own phone, a moment before it appears. Nobody in between — not us, not
Apple — can read it.
It's off by default. Turn it on in Settings, under Reminders.
1.4.0 Aug 13
Fixes feedback.
If you sent us a message through Send feedback before now, it never reached us
in a readable form — it was encrypted with a key that only ever existed on your
own phone, so nobody could open it, us included. That's fixed. Feedback is now
encrypted so that only we can read it, and you can add an email address if
you'd like a reply.
Sorry to anyone who wrote and heard nothing back. We weren't ignoring you.
1.3.1 Aug 12
Task reminders.
Give a task a due date and Pacelli reminds you on the day, at a time you choose — with the task's own name, so you know what it's about at a glance. Set one default time for everything in Settings, or give a single task its own. There's an optional nudge the day before too.
Reminders are created on your phone and never leave it.
1.3.0 Aug 11
Join a household with a code
Sharing a household no longer depends on email. Anyone already in your household can create a short join code under Household → Join code, and whoever types it joins straight away — whatever they signed in with. Codes last 7 days, and you can generate a new one or turn the code off at any time.
This matters if you sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email address: nobody can send an invitation to an address they can't see. Now they don't have to.
Also in this update
• Email invitations now work reliably. If you were invited to a household but ended up in an empty one of your own, this release fixes it and you'll join properly.
• "I have a join code" now appears on the welcome screen, so you can join a household straight away without creating an account first.
• If we can't get you into the household you were invited to, Pacelli now tells you instead of quietly starting a new one.
• Spanish and Italian throughout the new screens.
1.2.0 Aug 10
• Export your data — save a backup of everything in your household as a JSON file, from Settings → Your data.
• Rename your household — any member can change the household name in Settings → Members & invites.
• New look for themes — colour schemes now have friendly names: Pacelli, Lavender and Ocean. Your saved choice is unchanged.
1.1.0 Aug 5
A more honest privacy screen.
• The Privacy & encryption screen now says exactly what the encryption protects against, and what it does not. In particular it no longer says that nobody operating the servers can read your content or photos: with the current key design the developer could, and we say so while we replace it.
• It also explains what happens when you connect an AI assistant.
