Just Shopping is a simple way to keep track of the things you want to buy. Save an item by link or by name, tag it into lists, and mark it purchased once it's yours. What Just Shopping is NOT - Bloated with features - Full of ads on every page We aren't in the business of ads or selling user data. We just like tracking our shopping list. Join us. SAVE ITEMS YOUR WAY - Add Items: Paste a link to the item or just type in what you want to buy. - Save from Anywhere: Share a link from Safari or any other app straight into Just Shopping. No connection? It gets added the next time you open the app. - Paste & Create: Copied a link? Save it in one tap. - Link Information: Add a link and we pull in the title and image for you. Keep it as is or edit it yourself. Links save right away, even when a site is slow, and the details fill in after. - Check Link Again: Grab a fresh title and image any time you edit an item. STAY ORGANIZED - Tags: Group items into tags to keep everything in the right list. - Tag Progress: See how far along you are in buying everything in a tag. TRACK WHAT YOU BUY - Mark as Purchased: Record an item and the date you bought it. - Custom Purchase Date: Pick the actual day you bought something to track how long you've owned it. - Activity Log: See everything you've done in a chronological list, filtered by device. SYNCED WITH iCLOUD - iCloud Sync: We don't own your data, you do. That's why we use iCloud. - iPhone, iPad and Mac: Since everything lives in your iCloud, Just Shopping works seamlessly across all your devices. CUSTOMIZATIONS - Display View: View items as Cards or a List, and set your default in Settings. - Default Open Tab: Choose where the app opens. - Dark Mode: Follows your device settings so light and dark both look great.
