## What is Cartful?

Cartful is the grocery list your whole household can actually keep up with.

One shared list. Everyone in the house adds to it, and changes show up on every phone the moment they happen, so whoever is at the store has the current list.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO PASSWORDS
Create a household and share the 6-character join code. Anyone with the code is in.

BUILT FOR THE AISLE
Big tap targets, items grouped by aisle, and a progress bar for what is left. Tap to check something off, or tap Not here when the shelf is empty. Swiping works too.

PLAN, THEN SHOP
Pick what you need this trip, marking each item Needed, Maybe or Not now. Then switch to Shop and check things off. Items you pass on stay in your catalog for next time.

HANDS FULL? SAY IT
Tap the mic: "we need eggs", "got the milk", "skip the bread".

A LIST PER STORE
Tag each item with where you buy it. Start a trip for one store and you get exactly that store's list.

WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL
Check things off in the freezer aisle or the basement store. It all catches up when you are back online.

REMEMBERS WHAT YOU BUY
Your catalog builds itself as you shop. Type a few letters and next week's item is already there.

PHOTOS
Attach a photo so whoever is shopping grabs the right brand.

PASTE A LIST YOU ALREADY HAVE
Paste from Notes or a text. Each line becomes an item, filed into the right category.

SEE HOW THE TRIP WENT
Finish a trip for a summary of what you got, what was out of stock, and what you didn't get.

LIGHT OR DARK
Follows your phone by default, or pin it. Text scales with your system setting.

FREE
No ads, no tracking, no subscription.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3.11 — 2026-10-15

- See what changed while you were away. When someone else adds things or finishes a trip while Cartful is closed, the home screen shows a short summary you can read or dismiss.
- Add a photo while adding an item from the home screen.
- Pick the app's color: green, blue, purple, teal or berry.
- The home screen catches up after a dropped connection.
- Finishing a trip sends offline check-offs first.
- Trips ended by someone else now say so, with who did it and a way back.
- Clearing an item's note now sticks.
- Enter in the "We need..." box adds what you typed.
- Tapping a store offline says why it can't open.
- Store cards count only Needed items, so they match the trip's progress bar.
- Catalog photos open when tapped.
- Editing an item shows its stores ticked.
- Adding a store no longer zooms the app in on iOS.
- Store names show in full at large text sizes.

### 2.3.9 — 2026-09-20

Fixed launch issue with iOS 27

### 2.3.8 — 2026-09-17

Minor UI fix

### 2.3.7 — 2026-09-07

- Tap an item in Plan to put it on the trip, tap again to take it off. Hold it to edit.
- Undo a mis-tap. Checking off, Not here and dropping an item all offer Undo.
- "Not here" is a button next to the checkbox. It reads "Put back" once tapped.
- One search on every list finds what is there, pulls in what is not, or adds it new.
- After your first store, paste in the things you usually buy.
- A store card shows a progress bar while you shop, and its counts stay right when the shop is out of something.
- Plan and Shop are easier to tell apart. The one you are in is filled in.

### 2.3.4 — 2026-09-04

- Ticking an item off sticks. A second tap, a housemate's change or a reconnect can no longer bring a checked item back.
- Your stores are there the moment the app opens, instead of flashing "Add your first store" while it waits on the network.
- The aisle you're in stays named at the top of the list as you scroll, and hands over to the next aisle when you reach it.
- Checking something off fades it out instead of blinking it away.
- Store cards on the home screen keep a uniform height, show more of what you need at each store, and adding a store no longer leaves a mostly empty row behind.
