Grocery shopping apps (lemmy.world)

I am currently using Bring! with my wife to organize our grocery shopping. I am looking for a self hosted alternative. I looked at the awesome self-hosted list and tried Specifically Clementines and of course Grocy. I like that Grocy also includes meal planning although the whole inventory management is too much for us. What I don't like is the interface for both of them. I don't see us using this while in the store with a kid on the arm. It is way too fiddly and complicated. Also adding new items to the list is rather complicated in both apps.

Do you have any suggestions for other projects with a more user friendly interface (even if it means less features)?

For meal planning and shopping lists, grocy os completely overkill.

You could look at Kitchen Owl, it even looks like bring! and you can use meal planning :)

It looks promising. Thanks for the suggestion.

Been using it for a few months. It’s pretty good. A few annoying things, but my wife and I have figured out how to make it work for us

[–] kambusha@feddit.ch 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do you do the ingredients for a recipe? Does it understand "1tbsp" and things like that?

[–] ioslife@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Haven’t used recipes yet, just the grocery list

We switched to Kitchen Owl and it works out okay. The recipe management is nice in theory, but doesn't work well for most of our recipe sources (because of parsing issues most websites aren't recognized and ingredient amounts are not parsed correctly for German recipes), but we usually just create an empty recipe with a link to the original. This isn't perfect - in hindsight we should have stayed with Bring! because it just works better. We are hoping that the issues will be fixed sometime in the future although I am not sure what to expect...

Huh, sad to hear. Do the recipe sources have the recipe markup or is it parsed directly from html?
