Grocery List

What Grocery List is
Grocery List is an iPhone and iPad app for capturing and organizing shopping lists. Add several items at once by voice, including quantities and brands, or photograph a handwritten list and convert it into typed items. You can also share a recipe from a supported website or app to make a list from its ingredients. Lists support sharing, editable categories, search, and sorting. iCloud syncs them between iPhone and iPad, and you can add or check off items offline for syncing once you reconnect. The app uses your Apple account and does not require a separate sign-up, password, or email. Its maker says list data stays in your personal iCloud account and is not visible to the developer. The free plan costs nothing. Premium costs $12.99, paid once as a one-time purchase and unlocks shared lists and advanced imports. Family Sharing is enabled, and people invited to shared lists do not need Premium. The App Store listing requires iOS 26.0 or later and iPadOS 26.0 or later; Mac compatibility is listed but not verified.
