A shared grocery list for families
Running a house is mostly remembering things on behalf of other people. This moves some of that off your head and onto the phone.
The list lives with everyone
Anyone in the family can add to the list from their own phone, and it updates on everyone else’s straight away. Items sort themselves into departments — dairy, produce, bakery — so everything from one part of the store sits together.
On every phone in the family
Parents on iPhone, teenagers on Android, a grandparent in a browser: it is the same list on all of them, and the invite is a link anyone can tap. Apple Reminders and Notes cannot cross that line — they share only between Apple Accounts — which is usually the reason a family goes looking for something else. More on iPhone and Android together.
It speaks up at the right moment
Pin the shops you use. When someone arrives with items unchecked, they get told, and so does the rest of the household — which is the moment to add the thing you thought of at breakfast.
Chores, calendar, and what it all cost
Chores can rotate on a schedule and be claimed with a tap. The calendar holds the things everyone needs to know about, and it can be subscribed to from Google, Apple or Outlook so it appears alongside your existing one. More on chores and groceries in one app.
Scan a receipt after a shop and it records what things actually cost, so the household can see where the money went without anyone keeping a spreadsheet.
