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
