Rowan Shopping List
Make sustainable purchases.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Rowan helps you to plan your shopping, discover lower-impact alternatives, make your favorite recipes more sustainable, and tell which products are actually environmentally-friendly. Shop in your local store, or online with Instacart, and track your progress over time.
Lists
When you're planning your weekly groceries:
- Create a shopping list and add your items (just you, or with a partner).
- Rowan analyzes the list and gives you a sustainability report with an Eco Score and estimated CO₂.
- Tap on any item to get product-specific impacts and actions.
- Make key sustainable swaps to see your impact drop.
Guides
When you need more guidance on a specific product:
- Enter the product into Guides, or select "Generate guide" under a list item.
- Rowan generates a localized sustainable purchasing guide with typical CO₂, Eco Score, impacts, actions, and certifications to look for.
- Your guide also includes brands with reported sustainability concerns, and brands with sustainable options.
- All brand-related information comes with sources, so you can dig deeper and ensure you're making the right choice.
Recipes
When you want to make your favourite recipes more sustainable:
- Import any recipe from a URL, or a photo of a cookbook, screenshot, or handwritten note.
- Rowan analyzes it and gives you an Eco Score, estimated CO₂, and key impact ingredients.
- Choose a "Better" or "Best" alternative with suggested sustainable swaps, or stick with the original.
- Add the ingredients straight to a shopping list, then cook step-by-step in Cook Mode.
Shop with Instacart
When you want to shop online (US & Canada only):
- Create and analyze your list as normal in Rowan to make swaps and reduce your impact.
- Tap the "Shop with Instacart" button and your list items will be matched to real products available for purchase and delivery.
- Make any further changes you like before adding products to your cart and ordering on Instacart.
- We earn a small affiliate fee every time you click through from Rowan to Instacart and complete an order. You pay the same.
Products:
When you want to check a specific product before you buy:
- Scan any barcode (or search by name) to instantly see its Eco Score (A–F) and estimated CO₂.
- Rowan breaks down the impacts behind the score — ingredients, packaging, sourcing, and manufacturing.
- See lower-impact alternatives so you can swap on the spot, right there in the aisle.
- Everything you scan is saved, so you can revisit past products and track what you choose.
Progress
When you want to track your environmental progress:
- Check off items as purchased in your shopping lists.
- You'll see your recent sustainable swaps and the difference they made.
Rowan will tell you how much CO₂ you've avoided, your average Eco Score, and your total CO₂ footprint.
- Look at just your own progress, or the total progress of your household (based on shared lists).
