I really need to get this sorted by Monday morning because we keep missing orders for the site and its getting chaotic. I'm torn between AnyList or just using a shared Google Keep note but im not sure. AnyList seems great for organized lists but will my boss actually use it? Hes sixty and hates clicking more than two buttons lol. Trello feels like way too much for just ordering drywall and screws. Our budget is basically zero since the boss is cheap.
- simple UI for older guys
- real time syncing so he sees updates instantly
- free version needs to be solid
- mobile friendly since we are always on site in Chicago
Which one is gonna be less of a headache for a non tech guy? AnyList or Keep?

I just saw this. Reminds me of my old foreman in Naperville who basically hated anything with a screen. We switched to Google Keep and Ive been really happy with it since it is free and syncs fast. Quick question tho, does he already have a Gmail setup for work? That makes it way easier since he wont have to make a new account.

Go with Google Keep. Its basically a digital sticky note, which is way more intuitive for a boss who dislikes complex menus. AnyList is decent but the UI feels cluttered for basic construction supplies. Keep handles real-time syncing perfectly on the free tier and requires minimal navigation. Its the most efficient choice for your situation. Btw I use Share-A-Cart for this and it works great whenever I need to send my list to my wife.
