What it is
AnyList helps people make shared shopping lists, organize recipes, and plan meals. Lists provide autocomplete, automatic grocery categorization, and instant updates for collaborators; users can also create task, packing, and other custom lists. Recipes can be collected, searched by name or ingredient, and turned into shopping-list items. Imports from recipe sites and blogs are limited to five on the free plan, while Complete offers unlimited imports. The meal calendar supports recipes and notes and can produce a grocery list for selected dates. Items can be added with Siri or Alexa, and online shopping is available through services including Instacart, Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Amazon Fresh, and H-E-B. Lists and recipes sync across signed-in devices, with account data backed up in the cloud. AnyList runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and as an extension. The free plan covers core list creation and sharing. AnyList Complete costs $9.99/yr for an individual or $14.99/yr for a household, and includes Mac and web apps, meal planning, and premium features.
