"Toothpaste? Nearly out." A gentle daily nudge, so you never run out — and never over-buy. Restock is a consumables cycle manager. Instead of tracking inventory levels, it tracks purchase cycles: set the item, get notified when it's due, tap to record, and the next cycle starts automatically. ■ For everyone who... ・Only notices they're out when it's too late ・Buys a spare only to find three unopened at home ・Watches prices creep up without realizing ・Has no idea how much they spend on household basics each month ■ Three things Restock does differently 1. One tap from the notification One bundled push each morning: "3 items to buy today." Tap "Bought" right on the notification — no need to open the app. 2. Per-item price tracking Every purchase saves the unit price, so you can see "toothpaste is ¥50 more than last year." A price-increase ranking surfaces items worth reconsidering — data no standard budget app can produce. 3. ~270 built-in presets 22 categories covering toothpaste, detergent, trash bags, pet food, and more — each with a default replenishment cycle. Five taps in onboarding leaves you with 15 items already set up. ■ Features ・Today's list, plus home and lock screen widgets ・One-tap purchase logging with a 4-second undo bar ・Detailed entry for quantity, store, or "price unknown" ・Cycle auto-adjusts from real purchase intervals ・Stats: by category / annual cost ranking / price-increase ranking ・Shopping list grouped by store ・Store alerts: save a store's location and get a list of what to buy there when you're nearby ・iCloud sync across devices ・Dark mode ・Works fully offline ■ Simple monetization Ads, or a one-time ¥480 ad-removal purchase. No subscriptions. Never run out. Never over-buy. Notice the price hikes. --------------------------------- Sage Apps Series A collection of iOS utility apps designed for simplicity and ease of use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HomeStock Tracker at none against Restock's 1. HomeStock Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown). Restock's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
