Write a recipe once. Tap it, and every ingredient lands on one shopping list — added up, sorted by aisle, and ready to check off in the store. AMOUNTS THAT ACTUALLY ADD UP Three recipes that each need garlic give you one line: 7 cloves. Tally knows that 1 lb and 8 oz make 1½ lb, that 3 teaspoons is a tablespoon, and that half a can is still a can you have to buy. Amounts that measure different things stay separate instead of being guessed at, and a long-press shows exactly which recipes a total came from. SHOP FASTER • Your list is sorted by aisle — produce first, frozen last • Check something off and it leaves the list, with undo one tap away • Mark staples like salt and olive oil, and they stay off your list • Scale any recipe from half to triple before adding it • Type "2 lbs chicken thighs" straight onto the list and it files itself under Meat GET RECIPES IN WITHOUT RETYPING • Paste ingredients from anywhere — a website, Notes, a text • Import from a link on most recipe sites • Scan a friend's recipe QR code with your iPhone • Open shared recipe files WORKS WITH ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES • Mirror your list to Apple Reminders in its own list, so you can check things off from your Apple Watch or share the list with someone • Sync recipes and lists across iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud • Ask Siri to add an item or tell you what's left • Find any recipe from Spotlight UNLIMITED, AND YOURS No recipe limit and no account. Your recipes live on your devices and, if you turn on sync, in your own private iCloud — nowhere else.
