Shopping List is a simple, fast way to plan groceries, track what's in your home, and get reminded before you run out. SHOPPING LIST, YOUR WAY • Jot mode — just jot down what to buy, check it off, done. • Budget mode — track prices and quantities as you shop, with a running total. • Plan mode — organize items by category or shelf/aisle, estimate how long they'll last, and move them straight to inventory when you check out. INVENTORY THAT TRACKS ITSELF Every item you buy in Plan mode is added to your inventory with an estimated shelf life. See at a glance what's fresh, what's running low, and what's already gone — sorted by aisle, category, expiry, or last purchase. NEVER RUN OUT Turn on restock reminders and choose how many days ahead you want the heads-up. Low-stock items show up in Alerts, ready to add back to your list with one tap. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Set up your own categories and shelf/aisle order to match how your kitchen or pantry is actually laid out — shopping list and inventory both group the same way. BACK UP YOUR DATA Export your full shopping list, inventory, categories, and settings to a spreadsheet anytime, and restore from it whenever you need to. Available in English and Chinese. Your data stays on your device — no account required.
