How it works

How ShopBuddy works

Set up your family’s shared grocery list in about a minute. No credit card, no ads.

  1. 1

    Create your list

    Download the iPhone app or start in your browser. Sign in with Apple on iPhone, or with Google or email.

  2. 2

    Invite your family

    Share an invite link or QR code. Everyone who joins sees the same list on their own phone or computer.

  3. 3

    Shop together in real time

    Add items at home, check them off in the store. Every change shows up for everyone instantly.

Shared shopping list

One grocery list the whole family can add to

No more “did you write it down?” texts. Everyone adds to the same list, from wherever they are.

Real-time sync

Items appear on every phone and browser the moment they are added.

See who added what

Colour-coded initials show who wants each item.

More than one list

Keep the weekly shop separate from a party, a trip or the holiday home, private or shared.

Live activity alerts

The iPhone app gives you a heads-up when someone adds something new.

Fast adding

Add items in seconds, not keystrokes

ShopBuddy does the typing and the tidying, so adding to the list takes a tap or two.

Autocomplete as you type

Finishes the word from your family's history and a built-in catalogue, in English and Danish.

Quantities understood

Type “4 bananas” or “bananas x4” and it adds four.

No duplicates

Already on the list? ShopBuddy tells you instead of adding it twice.

Sorted into store sections

Every item lands in one of 23 sections, from Cheese to Coffee & Tea, in the order you walk the store. Move one and ShopBuddy remembers for your household.

Never forget

Reminders before you run out

ShopBuddy learns your family’s rhythm and puts the right items one tap away, right above your list.

Running low

It learns how often you buy things and flags what is probably running out.

Suggestions that fit

Frequent items, what you buy at this time of day, and what usually goes together.

Never shown twice

An item that is running low is not repeated as a suggestion.

One tap to add

Tap a reminder or suggestion and it is on the list.

In the store

Shopping Mode for one-handed shopping

Bag in one hand, phone in the other. Shopping Mode turns your list into big buttons, grouped by store section in the order you walk the store.

Store sections, big buttons

The list regroups into sections like Bakery, Cheese and Coffee & Tea, in walking order, with large tap targets.

Check off together

Tick an item and it is crossed off for everyone, so nobody buys it twice.

Tidies itself up

Bought items clear automatically after a day, or all at once with one tap.

Works while you move

Briefly lose signal in the store? Keep checking off and it syncs when you are back online.
