List 2 Cart — Menu to Market, Automatically. Tired of forgetting ingredients, buying duplicates, or juggling handwritten lists? This all-in-one grocery and meal planning app turns chaos into a clean, effortless workflow — from recipe to cart. Scan Any Recipe Instantly Point your camera at a printed or handwritten recipe card and watch it come to life. Our dual-engine OCR (Apple Vision + Tesseract) reads ingredients with precision — even messy handwriting, fractions, and abbreviations. No manual typing required. Smart Pantry Tracking Know exactly what you have at home. The app intelligently matches recipe ingredients against your pantry using fuzzy matching — accounting for brands, modifiers like "unsalted" or "organic," and other alternate forms. Only what you actually need makes it to your shopping list. One-Tap Shopping Lists Generate shopping lists automatically from your recipes and meal plans. Units are converted from recipe measurements to store-friendly quantities (cups of corn becomes a can, tablespoons of ketchup becomes a bottle). Transfer Directly to Your Store Connected to 12+ major grocers including Kroger, Walmart, Amazon/Whole Foods, Safeway, Aldi, Giant Eagle, Meijer, H-E-B, Publix, and Instacart. Sign in once, then send your entire shopping list straight to your online cart — no re-entering items one by one. Meal Planning Made Easy Plan your week with a built-in meal planner. Assign recipes to days, mark meals as prepared, and auto-generate consolidated shopping lists for the whole week. Nutrition at Your Fingertips Many ingredients are backed by the USDA FoodData Central database with local-first search. See calorie counts, macros, and nutrition details without ever leaving the app. Build Your Pantry in Minutes A guided wizard walks you through stocking your digital pantry by category — dairy, proteins, spices, and more — complete with nutrition data pre-loaded. Beautiful, Themeable Design A modern translucent Liquid Glass UI with four themes (System, Light, Dark, and Tan) that feels right at home on iOS. Also includes: recipe cookbooks, recipe randomizer, data export/backup, shopping history, and a guided onboarding experience. Your recipes. Your pantry. Your list. Your cart. One app.
