iPhone The family pantry & grocery list app

The grocery list that writes itself.

Basket Pal keeps count of what’s in your pantry. Tell it how much of each thing you like to have, and it writes the shopping list, sorts it by your store’s aisles and shares it with the whole family.

How it works

Say what you like to keep.
It tells you what to buy.

  1. Set a target

    Two bottles of olive oil. A dozen eggs. A kilo of coffee. Set it once for each product you buy.

  2. Keep the count

    Adjust the pantry with a quick stepper — or simply shop: everything you check off goes straight into stock.

  3. Shop the difference

    Your list is whatever is missing. Nothing to remember, nothing to write down.

    to buy = target − in stock

Try it — this is the real logic.

      Every store, its own list

      Walk the aisles in order. Never double back.

      Pick the store you’re in and Basket Pal shows only what you can buy there — grouped by that store’s own aisles, in the order you walk them.

      • One tap to switch storesSupermarket, bakery, farmers’ market — each with its own logo or colored symbol.
      • Your aisles, your orderName them once — “Aisle 7 · Pasta, Oil & Rice” — and the list follows them.
      • An unplanned stop?Choose Other to see everything you need, wherever you are.

      Urgency at a glance

      Red can’t wait. Orange, if you want a heads-up.

      Each product says when it should join the list and when it’s critical. Like an early warning? Turn on the orange level and it also tells you when it’s getting urgent — your choice, list by list. Try the switch.

      • Thresholds per productHigh puts it on the list and low makes it red (critical). With the orange level on, medium makes it orange (urgent) in between.
      • Morning digestA daily notification of what’s running low, plus pantry-check reminders on the days you choose.

      And all the little things

      Thoughtful down to the last croissant.

      Brands & pack sizes you accept

      List the variants that will do, in order of preference — each with its own photos and barcode. Whoever shops grabs the right one.
