OurGroceries is a grocery-list app for coordinating shopping across a household. People signed in to the same account see updates to shared lists instantly. A list item can include a photo, note, quantity, category, or barcode; items can be grouped by category or aisle and reordered to follow a store route. Users can save recipes and add chosen ingredients or the whole recipe to a shopping list. Items can also be added with Amazon Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant on Android; an MCP integration for Claude and ChatGPT is described as experimental. Lists can be sent to Instacart for delivery in the United States and Canada. The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and web. The free plan includes all features and list sharing, with ads in a few screens. Ad-removal options are $1 a month, $6 a year, or $20, paid once; the subscriptions start with a 7-day free trial. Exports are ZIP files containing XLSX and JSON, but cannot be re-imported after external changes.
