Making your first list

Download Grocer, name a list, and start adding groceries — no account or password required.

Updated July 18, 2026

Grocer is ready the moment you open it. There is no account to create and no password to remember — your lists live in your own iCloud.

Create a list

  1. Download Grocer from the App Store and open it.
  2. Tap New List on the Home screen.
  3. Give the list a name (like Weekly shop or Costco run) and pick a color and icon if you'd like.
  4. Start typing to add items. Grocer tidies up what you type and remembers the things you buy, so favorites are one tap away next time.

A few tips for fast adding

  • Add several items at once. Type an item and hit return — the keyboard stays up so you can keep going.
  • Quantities and notes. Tap any item to set a quantity ("2"), or tap the pencil to add a note ("the lactose-free one").
  • Add from a photo. Point the camera at a handwritten list or the whiteboard on your fridge and Grocer reads the items for you. See Add items from a photo.

What's next

The free plan includes 2 lists, and you can invite as many people to each list as you like.
