## What is Grocery List?

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, and 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
- Clear what you crossed off whenever you like, with undo, and the list keeps its shape 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 and no sign-up. Sharing is a link or a QR code.
Open source: https://github.com/Josh-Approved/grocery-list

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.

Josh Approved is supported by the people who use it. No ads, no subscriptions, no data harvest. What keeps this sustainable is whether it's worth a few dollars to you. If it is, please consider donating: https://buymeacoffee.com/jtysonwilliams

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-19

Add items with your voice on iPhone: ask Siri to add to Grocery List and the item lands on your list, no typing
A share button now sits in the list header, so sharing a list is one tap
Clearing what you crossed off is calmer: clear from the Checked heading whenever you like, or take the gentle prompt to tidy away last shop's leftovers, always with undo
No accounts, no ads, no tracking, as always

### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-06

Adding an item from your usuals, recent items, or the starter catalog now clears the search box, so you can quickly add the next item or leave the screen without a half-typed word being added by mistake
No accounts, no ads, no tracking, as always

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-03

Kits: save reusable item bundles as a second tab, so a weekly shop or a recipe drops onto your list in one tap

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-29

Shared lists stay in sync more reliably — edits and check-offs hold up when phones reconnect, return from the background, or open at different times
Crossed-off items stay crossed off
A live sync indicator on shared lists shows when you're connected, with a tap to re-sync
Also new since your last update: a full Add Items screen — your usuals, recent items, and a starter catalog in one place
Swipe to delete, and suggestions that learn what you add
Name your own aisles, and edit items in place
Choose your language in Settings — Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese
Light and dark themes
No accounts, no ads, no tracking — as always

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-25

You can now leave a tip to support Josh Approved, if you'd like. Everything in Grocery List stays free — no ads, no tracking, no accounts. Tips are always optional and they're the only thing keeping the lights on.

Also in this update: choose your language, and switch between light, dark, or system appearance in Settings.
