About

Sidecart

Features
Read full description

Stop texting your grocery list back and forth. Sidecart gives you and your partner one shared grocery list that updates live as you both shop. Add milk at home and it appears on their phone in the aisle. No more duplicate buys, no more "did you get the eggs?" texts. WHY COUPLES AND HOUSEHOLDS LOVE IT • One live list — invite anyone with a simple 6-character code. Every edit syncs in real time. • Import from WhatsApp or any chat — paste a list someone sent you, or share it straight to Sidecart from the share sheet, and it becomes checkable items in one tap. • It learns your store — after a few trips, Sidecart quietly reorders your list to match the path you actually walk, so you breeze through the aisles in order. Each store learns its own route. • Tap or swipe as you shop — tick items off, and undo if you slip. • Works offline — add and check off items with no signal; everything syncs when you're back. BUILT FOR iPHONE • Home Screen widget with your list's progress and next items. • Live Activity in the Dynamic Island while you shop. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Add milk to my list." • Share Extension for lists sent in WhatsApp, Messages, Notes or Mail. • At home on iOS 26 with Liquid Glass, and works on iOS 18 and later. Pasted lists are parsed on your iPhone. FAST, NOT FUSSY No ads, no clutter, and no account required to start. We never sell your list to brands. It's built to feel faster than a paper list — because if it isn't, you'll go back to paper. FREE AND PRO Sidecart is free for one list of your own, and joining lists that others share with you is always free. Sidecart Pro (from $0.99/month, auto-renewing) unlocks unlimited lists. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed or cancelled in your Apple Account settings.

Share a list and never forget the milk again.
