Plan meals in ChatGPT, then shop and share the list in Grocer. Grocer is a free grocery list for iPhone: make a list, keep it organized, and share it with the people you shop with. PLAN IN CHATGPT, SHOP IN GROCER Add the Grocer plugin in ChatGPT and connect your Grocer account. Ask for a recipe or a week of dinners, and ChatGPT can add the groceries to your Grocer list, with quantities. Open Grocer at the store and the list is ready to shop. ChatGPT does the planning; Grocer itself has no AI features. A ChatGPT account and a signed-in Grocer account are needed for the connection. ADD GROCERIES YOUR WAY Type an item, paste a written list, or dictate what you need. Share text from Notes, Messages, or another app to Grocer, and each line goes straight onto your list. SHOP FROM A CLEAR LIST Items are grouped by category so you can work through the store. Check off groceries as you shop, see what is left, and move items into custom categories when you want to organize things your way. KEEP ONE LIST TOGETHER Share a list with family, roommates, or a shopping partner. With an account and an internet connection, changes stay in sync across devices so everyone can work from the same list. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Light, Dark, or System appearance. Put checkboxes on either side, show or hide item suggestions, and keep separate lists for different shopping trips. Your own lists work without signing in. Sign-in is optional for account-backed sync, sharing, and the ChatGPT connection. Grocer is free to use, with no purchase required and no ads in this version. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI. Grocer is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI. Terms of Use: https://usegrocer.com/terms/
