Turn your recipes into a grocery list you can shop from. Photograph a printed recipe or choose a recipe image, review the ingredients, and add them to MyGroceryList. Import more recipes one at a time to build a combined list with cumulative ingredient totals. START WITH SIRI Say "Hey Siri, scan a recipe in MyGroceryList" to open the recipe scanner. Take a photo, check the recognized text, and add the ingredients to your list. You can also start from the app or Apple's Shortcuts app. ONE INGREDIENT, ONE TOTAL Matching recipe ingredients share a single row. Common equivalents, such as flour and all-purpose flour, are combined. Fractions are preserved, and compatible measurements are added together. Different varieties, such as almond flour and regular flour, stay separate. Weight and volume remain visible as separate amounts when they cannot be combined. COUNTS AND PACKAGE SIZES THAT MAKE SENSE See the actual number of eggs or cans you need. A recipe calling for two 15-ounce cans keeps both the two-can count and the size of each can. Measured ingredients show totals such as 5 1/2 cups directly in the list. ORGANIZE AS YOU ADD Recipe ingredients use matching existing categories and previous ingredient assignments. Supported custom categories, such as Baking, Vegetables, Spices, and Seafood, are used when available. Unmatched ingredients go to Other. Review category assignments before adding. KEEP EVERYDAY SHOPPING SIMPLE - Add groceries by typing, voice, or quick suggestions. - Scan product barcodes to look up available nutrition information from Open Food Facts. - Create and arrange your own categories. - Check off groceries, search your list, and filter by category. - Save lists to history and reuse them later. - Print your grocery list or send it by email. - Sync lists through iCloud across devices signed in to the same Apple ID. Recipe text recognition happens on your device. For best results, photograph the ingredients section of a printed English recipe and review the text before adding. Available for iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later.

Unit Choice is a price comparison app that helps you compare unit prices by simply entering the price and quantity of each item. Even when products have different sizes, amounts, or pack counts, you can quickly check the unit price, cheapest option, average, and median. β€œIs this really a good deal?” β€œShould I buy the larger size or the smaller one?” β€œIs this more expensive than what I bought before?” Unit Choice was made to reduce those small moments of doubt while shopping, so you can choose with confidence. You can save your entries in a list, review them later, and compare the same products again whenever you need. Recommended for anyone who wants to avoid missing price differences, quantity differences, or better deals in everyday shopping.
