How the Grocery List Works
Last updated: April 2026
The basics
The grocery list is divided into color groups (see Color Categories on the Grocery List). Within each group, items are sorted by supermarket section (see Smart Sort).
Checking off items
Tap any item to check it off. Checked items stay visible but appear below unchecked items, so you can see what you've already picked up.
To uncheck an item, tap it again.
Pinning items
Swipe left on any item and tap Pin to keep it at the very top of its color group. Use this for items you always need to remember (e.g., "reusable bags") or for urgent additions.
Adding items manually
Tap + to add a grocery item that isn't tied to a recipe. Type the name, quantity, and unit, and choose a color category.
Editing an item
Tap and hold (or swipe to reveal the Edit option) on any item to change its name, quantity, unit, or color category.
Clearing checked items
When you're done shopping, tap the menu (three dots) → Clear Checked Items. All checked items are deleted from the list in one action. Unchecked items remain for next time.
