## What is Grocy Mobile?

This app is a companion for the Grocy application (https://grocy.info/). Grocy provides a self-hosted solution to pantry management and shopping lists.
The app allows you to access the server with a mobile-optimized interface on your iOS/iPadOS device and also login via Home Assistant Ingress. 
You need to host Grocy yourself, otherwise a reliable data storage is not possible (demo servers may get wiped sometimes).
There are no rented servers available in-app, you have to setup the server yourself.
This allows for a free distribution of this app, since the app has no infrastructure on its own.

Features:
 - native design, fully optimized for Liquid Glass
 - localization in many languages
 - full stock management, shopping lists, chores and master data management
 - a convenient Quick Scan mode, allowing for fast interactions
 - 100% free and open source

### 3/5 — Quick Scan No Workie

*2026-04-28*

Love the app. But Updated to current version yesterday. Quick Scan feature is reading the product, but won’t let you save the changes.(the button never turns blue) Did the same ‘Consume’ activity from PC browser after that and that worked ok.  Cleared cache and logged out/in and still no joy.

### 5/5 — Huge improvements

*2026-04-18*

Really want to give a shoutout to de dev for all the latest updates. The app was already usable for me, but with some bugs here and there. The latest fixes address everything from issues to enhancements, to include an enhancement I request. Thank you for all the work you’ve put into this app.

### 5/5 — It’s coming along

*2026-03-28*

Good work! Great app to use!

### 4/5 — Love it but can't scan barcodes with phone

*2026-03-12*

Installed Grocy in Unraid and installed Bar Code Buddy and even though it does scan the bar code it shows the wrong number so I have to enter it manually. If I use the web apps on my IPhone Safari and Chrome won't use the camera. Such an amazing project but because of these issues I can only rate it a 4.

### 1/5 — It works pretty good

*2026-01-24*

Edit: 1 Star, two phones with iOS 18, 1 grandfathered in on old app, other phone can’t download, requirement of iOS 26 is absurd

. It works pretty good
Does have a bugs. Putting in the exp date does a minus one on whatever you select and the 1st of the month will result in rolling back to the 31st.

Also the master data for products does not allow changing sort so it defaults to time of entry

Also due soon doesn’t work despite working in browser

### 5/5 — Cool Home Serve App

*2025-04-04*

It works, it connects to my Grocy instance, keeping my data local. Looking forward to Recipe integration and support for newer versions of the server. Let us pay you for the privilege!

### 2/5 — Needs some updates

*2025-02-16*

The app gives an error when using the latest version of the server(even the demo environment gives the error). There is no option in app to track chores.

### 1/5 — Where Are Chores

*2025-01-17*

So, I wanted a solution for chores for my kids, but I guess iOS has none…

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-07*

Works great with my self hosted grocy service. Thanks.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.3.1 — 2026-04-10

Hello again, this is just a small update for Grocy Mobile which fixes some bugs reported by users. If you find more, feel free to create an issue on Github.

Changes:
- Stock Entries: Use quick consume amount for consuming/opening
- Stock journal: Show correct quantity unit
- Stock: Show correct opened amount for aggregated products
- Stock: Show child products when searching
- Stock: Prevent double meta-products
- Consume product: Allow consuming child products
- Small logo/icon changes

### 3.2.2 — 2026-02-20

This is another small maintenance update for Grocy Mobile.

Besides some small fixes, it contains one really nice feature: scanning of due dates. Leveraging the Vision framework, it is possible to detect text wich represent dates. This text is then entered as due date, making tedious scrolling in the calendar a thing of the past.

The recipe functionality is not quite ready yet, but big steps have been made.

Changes:
- Date scanner to easily scan due dates
- fix date problems with stock entries
- try to improve reliability with initialization of SwiftData containers

### 3.2.1 — 2026-01-23

This is a small bugfix update for Grocy Mobile.

It contains no new features, but should fix multiple small issues and crashes.

Changes:
- Small graphic fixes and changes (Sidebar, Text field, Server Selection)
- Fix crashes for specific system time formats
- Show non-provided dates for stock as never overdue
- Show stock elements with no own stock but accumulated stock
- Allow unsafe connections for ts.net (Tailscale) domains, since these are local

### 3.2.0 — 2026-01-19

Happy new year! This is the first update for Grocy Mobile in 2026. It brings support for tasks, so that you can track your new year's resolutions. It also brings multiple small improvements and bug fixes, which should make the app more stable and usable.

For users on iPhone who just use a specific featureset of the app, it is now possible to hide tabs. Just head to the App settings.

As an experiment, a first Apple Intelligence feature is added. It uses the Foundation Model integrated on modern devices, to guess product category, location and quantity unit using the product name. When your device supports this, just press the button in the product form. It can be disabled of course.

The recipe support is WIP, but not ready yet.

Changes:
- Tasks
- Hide Tabs on iPhone
- Made WebSocket for Home Assistant more stable
- Try to fix SwiftData problems
- Multiple Design fixes

### 3.1.0 — 2025-12-19

Were you naughty or nice this year? Did you do your chores properly?
Answering this will be no problem with the new feature for Grocy Mobile: Chores!

This aims to support most features of chores supported by the server, but in the mobile-friendly design you all know and love from the rest of the App.
Add Chores in Master Data, track them in overview with a swipe and look at the log for a history. If you scan a Grocy Code for Chores in Quick Scan, it should also work.

Since this is the first element in the TabBar brings the number over 5 tabs on iPhone, so Master Data will be hidden behind more. If you don't use a feature, you can disable it server-wide. It should also disappear in the app now. (Please don't do so, all features are great.)

There are some small changes concerning the stock journal, it is now also filtered by date and can be sorted.

Have fun with the app, season's greetings and a happy new year.

Changes:
- Chores
- Stock journal sorting
