Sharing Grocerly with Your Family

How sync works

Grocerly uses Firebase as its backend. All data — recipes, meal plans, grocery items, collections, categories — is stored in the cloud and synced in real time.

This means:

• Your partner adds a recipe on their phone → it appears on your phone within seconds.
• You check off "milk" at the store → your partner sees it checked off immediately.
• You add ingredients from the meal plan → the sorted list appears on every device instantly.

Setting up on multiple devices

Sign in with the same Google account on every device. All data associated with that account will sync automatically. There's no manual pairing or setup needed.

Conflict handling

If two people edit the same item at exactly the same time, the most recent save wins. In practice, this is rare because the app uses field-level updates (editing a recipe name doesn't conflict with editing its ingredients).
