Independent software built under Boston304 LLC

Practical tools, built to be used.

Braatz Innovations experiments with focused, real-world software ideas: small tools that do one job well. It’s the home of LastList™, a smart shopping planner designed to turn messy notes into clear, ready-to-shop plans.

Built iteratively in the open. Designed and developed by Joshua Braatz.
LastList™

Smart shopping planner for real-life lists

Start with a messy list of items, and end with a clean, organized plan — grouped by store, zone, or trip, whether you’re shopping locally, online, or both.

List intake

Turn messy inputs into usable lists

Paste or type whatever you have: notes, texts, partial ideas. LastList parses and normalizes items into a universal category system that can support groceries, hardware runs, online orders, and everything in between.

Built to handle “real user” list chaos.
Planning

Plan by store, route, or mode

Choose local or online planning flows. See items grouped in a way that matches how you actually shop — by store, by area, or by the trip you’re about to take.

Supports both single-store runs and multi-stop trips.
Next up

UPC-level picks & real products

The roadmap includes integrating with official retailer APIs to map items to real products and prices, giving you trip totals and direct links when you’re ready to check out.

Exploring API partnerships and affiliate options.

About

A small studio for focused tools

Braatz Innovations is a small, independent effort to build tools that feel deliberate, fast, and genuinely useful — not another noisy dashboard that gets abandoned after two logins.

The goal is simple: ship practical utilities that slot into real life without demanding a new way of working. Many projects start as experiments and gradually grow into stable products.

LastList is the current flagship, with additional planning tools and everyday automations on the whiteboard for future development.

Roadmap

What’s next for Braatz Innovations

LastList roadmap

Deeper planning tools

Short-term, the focus is on refining the planning flows, polishing the in-store vs online modes, and wiring in smart defaults for common list types.

Goal: make LastList feel effortless on repeat trips.
APIs & data

Official integrations where it matters

Over time, the intent is to rely on official APIs and affiliate programs — not scraping — to match items to real products and surface accurate pricing and availability.

Built to be partner-friendly from day one.
Beyond lists

Other smart, small tools

As LastList stabilizes, additional projects will explore planning, organization, and everyday decision-support tools that can live under the Braatz Innovations umbrella.

Deliberately slow, quality-first releases.
