About Sofa 3.3
The lists that people create in Sofa are highly personal and are often painstakingly curated over time. A lot of time, effort, and care go into the creation and curation of people’s reading lists, watch lists, playing lists, and more. The benefit of Sofa is being able to manage all of this in one place so you can be more intentional with your downtime.
With this release, people can make their lists even more personal and fun.
Requirements
- An iPhone or iPad running at least iOS 15+
- An Apple Silicon Mac running 12.3+

⭐ What’s New with Lists
Make your lists even more personal and fun by adding a cover image, large title, and description, along with more layout options.
Cover Images
Add a large cover image to each of your lists. You can search from Sofa's movie, tv show, and video game data sources, Unsplash, or add an image via a URL.
Large Titles and Descriptions
Display a large title for your lists and give it a description. Descriptions support markdown syntax for a little extra flair. Perfect for adding bold, italic, and links.
Layout Options
Two new "cozy" grid and list layout options. These "cozy" options are great for lists where you want a little more information density.
Custom Settings Per List
All list settings are now saved per list and synced with iCloud. This means you can choose different sorting and layout options for each list and have them synced across all your devices.
New Edit List View
To easily understand and customize all these settings, there is a new view dedicated to controlling all the details. Tap the ••• button in the top right of each list, then "Edit List Details".

✏️ Edit Custom Items
Custom Items are a great way to add content to your lists even if one of Sofa's data sources can't find it. Previously, custom items would use a random image from Unsplash. They still do this by default, but now you can change the title and cover image for custom items in your lists. This should make custom items feel more at home in Sofa.
