A shared shopping list the whole family can tick off

What is a shared family shopping list?

A shared shopping list is one list that everyone in the household can add to and tick off. No more texting "can you grab milk?" or buying the same thing twice because two people were in the shop at once.

In Little Corkboard it lives next to your family planner, so the shopping sits alongside school dates, reminders and everything else the household needs to remember.

Say it once and it's on the list

Hands full in the kitchen? Say "milk, two loaves of bread, bananas and nappies" and Little Corkboard splits it into separate items, picks up quantities like "2" or "500g", and sorts them into aisles. You review the items before they're added, so a mis-heard word is easy to fix.

Typing items onto the list is always free. Saying your list out loud is part of Little Corkboard Plus.

Made for tapping through the shop

• Items are grouped by aisle, from fruit and veg to freezer, so you can walk the shop in order.
• "In the shop" mode makes every row big and easy to tap, and hides the editing controls.
• Ticked items drop into an "In the trolley" section, and one tap clears them when you're done.
• Repeats are spotted, so saying "milk" twice doesn't add it twice.

Everyone sees every tick

Anyone you share your board with sees the list. When one of you ticks something off, it appears on the other person's phone within a moment, with who ticked it.

Grown-ups can add, tick and clear items. People you've invited as read-only viewers, such as a grandparent who only needs to see what's on the list, can see it but not change it.

Patchy signal in the supermarket

The last list is saved on your phone, so it opens even with no signal. Ticks you make while you're offline are kept and sync as soon as you're back online.
