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.
