Real-time sharing
If you've shared a household with your partner or housemates, they'll see the list update instantly on their phone too. No more calling each other at the supermarket!
You can reorder items in the list by long-pressing and dragging. Put fresh produce at the top so you remember to check it first.
Managing multiple lists
You can have as many lists as you like — one for your regular weekly shop, one for a special occasion, one for the pharmacy, and so on.

Archive a completed list
Once you've done your shop, you can mark the list as complete. This hides it from your main view but keeps it in your history.
When you mark items as "Purchased" in a grocery list, FridgeFlow can optionally create draft inventory entries for those items — saving you time when you add them to your fridge.
Smart Grocery Scan — add items from a photo
