Out of Milk

What Out of Milk is

Out of Milk is a shopping list app for creating and organizing grocery lists, keeping track of pantry items, and coordinating shopping with others. Lists can be shared by inviting people through email, with invited users able to view and edit them in real time. Lists sync across devices when users are signed in with the same account. Add items manually, scan their barcodes, or speak to add them; then organize them by category and keep details such as price, quantity, notes, and coupons. A pantry feature tracks what is at home and what is running low. The app also supports to-do lists with timely alerts. Its Cart feature records items already purchased and items still to pick up, and lets users put items back on a list for next time. The site offers ready-made grocery list templates for different occasions. Users can access and manage lists on a computer by signing in at outofmilk.com. The listed platforms are Android, iOS, and web, and the Free plan costs nothing. InMarket says it uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards, while noting that no security system is impenetrable and information security is not guaranteed. Its privacy policy says it collects shopping lists, device identifiers, and precise geolocation, and may share personal information with third-party partners for purposes including targeted advertising.
