Grocery List - Josh Approved
No paywall. No ads.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Open source, pay what you want. Built by one person, with no ads, no tracking, and no accounts — not even to share a list. The whole app is free, always.
A grocery list a household can share, so two people shop off one list that updates on both phones. Share with a link or a QR code — no account, ever. It's free to use. No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts.
What it does:
- Keep a shopping list that sorts itself into aisles as you type
- Share a list with a tap — send a link or show a QR code, the other person taps once, and you're both on the same list
- Edits and check-offs show up on both phones, usually within seconds
- Get suggestions from the items you've bought before, as you type
- "Finish shop" clears what you checked off and keeps the list for next time
- Reorder the aisles to match the store you actually shop at
Your data stays with you. When you share, changes pass between your phones end-to-end encrypted, through free public infrastructure we don't run and can't read.
No accounts, no sign-up — sharing is a link or a QR code.

What it doesn't do:
No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts — not even to share a list. No subscriptions. The whole app is the whole app, free.
