What it does
AnyList combines shared shopping lists with recipe organization. It groups grocery items by category and synchronizes list changes, while the paid Complete upgrade adds web recipe importing, meal planning, scaling and computer access.
A useful first task is making one shared grocery list for a household. Changes appear for everyone sharing it, and automatic categories organize common items. Recipes can then supply ingredients to the list instead of requiring a separate shopping document.
Complete adds a calendar for planning several days and importing recipes from supported websites. Item photos can clarify which product another shopper should buy; store assignments and filters can keep several destinations on one list. Price entries are supplied by the user, including separate prices for different stores. The free plan and annual individual or household upgrades make the access boundary clear: computer access, web importing and the meal calendar belong to Complete.
