Picking something up on the way home
You're heading home and passing the supermarket. A quick look at the app shows what's missing at home, including what your roommate added ten minutes ago.
Shared shopping list app for the whole household
One list for everyone, up to date on every phone.
Homzie is a shopping list app that everyone in the household shares. Whoever notices the milk is gone adds it, and whoever is standing in the supermarket sees it on their phone right away.
Items get a quantity and a category, so you don't walk back to the dairy aisle twice. In shopping mode you tick off what's in the cart and the others can see what's still missing. Ingredients from the Homzie meal plan go straight onto the list.
- ✓ One list for everyone at home
- ✓ Categories and quantities
- ✓ Shopping mode for ticking items off in the store
- ✓ Several lists, for example for toiletries or a party
When a shared shopping list helps most
Mostly when several people do the shopping and requests otherwise travel by group chat, shouting across the flat or sticky notes.
The big weekly shop
For the Saturday shop the list is sorted by category. Two people can split up in the store and see what the other already has in the cart.
Paper list, group chat or shopping list app?
All three work. The differences show once more than one person does the shopping.
| What you need | Homzie | WhatsApp group | Paper list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyone sees the current list | yes | yes, but scattered across the chat | only whoever is at home |
| Tick items off in the store | yes, visible to everyone | no | yes |
| Sorted by category | yes | no | only if you sort it yourself |
| Add ingredients from the meal plan | yes | no | no |
| Cost | core features free | free | free |
If the same person always does the shopping, a list on the fridge is enough. An app pays off as soon as different people shop on the go.
