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

About

Shoppe Plan

Features
Read full description

Shoppe Plan turns grocery runs and errand trips into a smooth, stress-free experience. Whether you shop at a single store each week or juggle multiple lists across different retailers, Shoppe Plan keeps everything organised and your spending under control. Create as many colour-coded shopping lists as you need, assign a store name, and set an optional budget. As you add items — with quantity, unit, and price per unit — the list calculates running totals in real time. A clear progress bar shows exactly how many items you have checked off, and a budget bar turns red the moment your estimate exceeds your limit, so there are no surprises at the checkout. Sort items by name, by category, or by aisle order to match the layout of your favourite store. The built-in Catalog remembers every item you have ever added, complete with typical price and usage frequency, so re-adding staples takes a single tap. A mini price-trend sparkline in the Catalog lets you spot whether a product is getting more or less expensive over time. Finished shopping? Share the full list — grouped by category, with quantities and totals — via Messages, Mail, or any app on your iPhone, so the whole household stays in the loop. Key features: - Multiple colour-tagged lists with optional store name and budget - Real-time estimated total, checked total, and remaining total - Over-budget alert with visual indicator - Sort by custom order, category, aisle, or name - Persistent Catalog with usage count and price history sparkline - Quick-add bar for fast item entry during a shop - One-tap share of a formatted list via the iOS share sheet - Clean, distraction-free design built for iOS 17
