AnyList

AnyList nails the basics. You type an item, it suggests the rest, and it files it under the right category so your list follows the store. Everyone you share with sees changes right away, so nobody buys a second bag of onions.

Recipes live in the same app. You can save them and add their ingredients to your list in one go. The Complete plan goes further, with recipe imports from websites, a meal planning calendar that builds a matching list, recipe scaling, photos, running price totals and access from a computer.

The free version is enough for many households, and Complete is cheap by subscription standards. It isn't a recipe discovery app, so bring your own ideas. If you want one dependable list for the family, AnyList is a long-time favorite.
