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)?

If you want to do a bit of engineering: CalDAV supports todo lists. I forget what server software I've got running, but I sync the list to my android phone via DAVx5 and tick off/add items via tasks. For other platforms you can just look for CalDAV-supported programs (most email apps.)

I don't think that I will do this. It will most likely not be a better user experience than our current solution with Bring!

But thank you for the suggestion.

This is what I have ended up running with nextcloud as the server.

I also have home assistant syncing to CalDAV so that I can automatically create/remove tasks.
