pon is the smart shopping list that learns as you shop and makes everyday grocery runs easy — entirely on your device. What pon offers at a glance: - pon remembers products, package sizes, stores and prices — and fills everything in for you - Automatic smart sorting: your items in the order of your supermarket - Push reminder when you approach a store with open items on your list (geofence) - Dictate instead of typing: just say what you need — speech recognition runs entirely on device - Automatic pantry overview: pon learns what you have at home and when it's running low - Reminders before fresh food expires — use it up instead of throwing it away - Hints when a purchase is due again — learned from your buying rhythm - Manage and edit shopping lists together - Automatic notification to list members when you go shopping - Sync across as many devices as you like — iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - Loyalty cards always at hand — pon reminds you at checkout - Barcode scanner, prices & offers, custom items with photos - Widget and Live Activity for the current shopping trip - Extensive product database in 12 languages - Works offline - No external tracking, no ads, no subscription — completely free Imagine you're on your way home and get a push notification the very moment you pass your supermarket: you're out of milk. Your partner put it on your shared list — pon reminds you automatically at just the right time. pon learns with every purchase: which products you buy, in which package size, at which store and at what price. Next time, everything is already filled in. From your buying rhythm, pon even recognizes when something is due again, what's running low and what you should use up soon — and suggests it at the right time. All of this happens exclusively on your device. Fill your list without typing: just dictate — "2 packs of milk, 10 eggs and coffee" — and pon recognizes products, amounts and attributes. Works with Siri too. Nothing leaves your iPhone. Your lists sort themselves in the order you checked things off during your last trips — after a short while everything is pre-sorted just like the aisles in your supermarket. Maintaining categories is a thing of the past! Share your shopping list with family, friends or colleagues and keep track together. Whoever goes shopping can notify the others automatically — no more "honey, do we need anything?" calls. Pick your products from an extensive database or create your own — with attributes like "organic" or "lactose-free", photos, prices and offer prices. The built-in barcode scanner saves you from creating new products by hand: scan, pick the amount, done. With the Apple Watch app your shopping list is always on your wrist, leaving a hand free while you shop — right on your watch face if you like. We don't use external tracking or analytics tools. Everything pon learns about your shopping stays on your device and is none of our business — promise. Got ideas, suggestions or wishes to make pon even better? Let us know — we love feedback. pon is smart, learns with you and best of all: completely free.
