Utorbu

We love grocery shopping. Not the "grab milk and run" kind ā the real thing. Wandering between market stalls, picking up avocados just because they look perfect, debating whether we need another cheese (we do). But our shopping list always lived in Notes. Plain text. No soul. My wife deserved better. So I built Utorbu ā a shopping list that feels as good as the trip itself. Warm colors, playful wallpapers, and an AI that actually knows what to suggest based on your diet and taste. What makes it different: - Beautiful, not boring. Pick a wallpaper that matches your vibe. - AI recommendations ā tell it your diet, and it fills your list with ideas you'll actually want to cook. - Share with your partner. One list, two phones, no "did you get the eggs?" texts. - Works offline. Syncs when you're back online. Built with love in Kyiv, Ukraine ā the land of the brave and independent.
