About QuickList

QuickList is a grocery list and meal planner for iPhone. You type a meal or pick from saved meals and it builds the shopping list, combining duplicate ingredients across meals and grouping items by store category such as produce, meat, dairy and pantry. On supported devices it uses Apple's on-device AI to turn short meal descriptions into ingredient lists and to apply dietary preferences like gluten-free or dairy-free.

It doubles as a recipe manager with a meal library, folders and recipe import from a link. Lists and meal plans can be shared with family or roommates with real-time updates, and a list can be sent to Instacart. Daily and weekly planning reminders are optional, and private data is stored locally on the device, with an optional account for sync.
