All your recipes, in one place
Search them, group them, and scale any recipe to however many are eating. Build variety into a recipe itself, like chicken or paneer in the same curry, instead of writing it out twice.
Make the weekly shop the easy part of the week.
ShoppingListr is a meal planner and shared shopping list for families. Plan the week's meals and get one list that adds up every recipe, sorted into your store's aisle order.
Set up your household
Free. No card. Nothing to install.
How it works
From recipes to a sorted shopping list in three steps.
-
1
Bring in any recipe
Snap a cookbook page or a handwritten card, share a link, or paste the text. ShoppingListr reads it and writes it up as a recipe for you, with the ingredients, quantities and method all in place. Check it, save it, and it's ready to plan with.

Plan the week together
Pick meals from your recipe list, or plan on the fly. Anyone at home can add to the plan, and your shopping list is created automatically, with every ingredient's quantities scaled and combined. Eat much the same each week? Copy last week's plan and change what you like.

How aisle order works
Why families use it
The annoying jobs, done for you.
The list writes itself
Every recipe's ingredients are added up into one list, and each item shows which meal it's for.
Sorted for your store
Your list follows the order you walk your supermarket, so there's no doubling back. Going to more than one store? Each gets its own section, with each item under the store where you buy it. Shopping online? Each item searches your store's website.
One list for the whole family
Anyone at home can add to it, in the app or with our Alexa skill, and everyone sees changes straight away. It keeps working when the signal drops.
How sharing worksWhy it exists
“We cook the same recipes most weeks, and writing the shopping list, then sorting it so the shop made sense, was always the most annoying job. So I built ShoppingListr to do it for us.”
Questions
Questions about ShoppingListr.
What is ShoppingListr?
An app for planning your family's meals and doing the food shop. You save the recipes you cook, choose what you're eating this week, and it makes the shopping list for you. Everyone at home shares that list.
Do I have to type all my recipes in?
No. Take a photo of a cookbook page or a handwritten card, paste a link to a recipe online, or paste the text from a message or your notes. The app picks out the ingredients, quantities and steps for you to check and save.
How does it make my shopping list?
When you plan your meals for the week, it collects the ingredients from every recipe you chose. It adjusts the amounts for how many people are eating and adds up anything that appears twice, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
What do you mean by “sorted into aisle order”?
Tell the app the order you walk around your usual supermarket, say fruit and veg first, then bakery, then dairy. Your list is grouped and ordered that way every time, so you're not doubling back. You can set this up for more than one store, and if you're going to a few on one trip, the list is split by store in the order you visit them.
How do I get some variety without cooking something new?
Build it into the recipe. A curry can hold chicken or paneer as two versions of the same recipe, so picking a different one for the week keeps things varied without writing it out twice. You can also scale any recipe up or down for how many are eating.
Can my partner and kids use it too?
Yes. You create a household and invite them with a link. Everyone sees the same recipes, plans and list, and anything added shows up for everyone straight away. You can also send the list as a text message to someone who isn't on the app.
Does it work for online shopping?
Yes. Pick your store, and each item on your list gets a button that searches for it on that store's website.
Can I add things by voice?
Yes. Turn on the ShoppingListr skill for Alexa and link your account, and you can add items to your shopping list by voice.
Does it use metric or imperial?
Both. Choose metric or imperial for your household in Settings and those units are offered first, but you can still use any unit, like cups from an American recipe.
What if I lose signal in the supermarket?
It keeps working. Anything you tick off or add is saved on your phone and syncs once you're back online.
Do I need to download anything? Does it cost anything?
No download. It runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. It's free.
