A shopping list that writes itself
Plan a dinner and what it needs, minus what is already home, goes on the shared list. Tick it in the shop and it is in the pantry.
Shopping
Written from the plan, minus what is already home.
- Missing ingredients from planned dinners appear on their own.
- Group the list by aisle, or by the dinner each item is for.
- Ticked food goes straight into the pantry, with an undo.
- Running low? learns the household’s usuals and offers them with one tap.
- Food past its best comes back to be checked: Still good restarts its clock.
The week, not a memory test
Every planned dinner puts what it is missing on the list, sorted by when it is needed, so tonight’s salmon comes before Saturday’s gnocchi. Group it by aisle in the shop, or by recipe to see what each dinner still needs. Anything else goes on by hand, for everyone in the household to see.
Bought means home
Tick a line, or swipe it Bought, and the food moves into the pantry with today’s date, which is what starts its clock. Nobody types the shop back in afterwards.
Running low?
Heilsa learns what the household buys again and again, kitchen roll included, and when it usually shops, and offers the usuals in a Running low? card above the list. One tap adds one; nothing goes on the list by itself.
