What OurGroceries does

OurGroceries is a shared shopping list that keeps everyone in the house on the same page. Lists sync in real time across iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and any web browser. Every feature is free with ads, and one small upgrade removes ads for the whole household.

Real-time shared lists
Suggestions as you type, plus barcode and photo entry
Add a recipe's ingredients in one tap
Edit lists from any web browser
Siri and Apple Watch support

OurGroceries has been around since 2009 and does one thing well: a grocery list you share. Everyone signs in with the same email, and when someone checks off milk at the store, it's crossed off on everyone's phone.

Adding items is quick, with suggestions as you type, plus barcode scanning and photos. You can store the main ingredients of favorite recipes and drop them all onto your list at once. Siri works on iPhone, Apple Watch and HomePod, and you can edit lists from any web browser.

There's no meal planner, calendar or chores, which keeps it light. The free version shows ads, but every feature is included, so paying is only about removing ads. If you want the simplest shared list for a family or roommates, start here.
