CLUSTER GROCERY-LIST-SCANNING · 36 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-07-21
Smart grocery list apps
This cluster comprises grocery and shopping list apps that emphasize sharing, automatic categorization, meal planning, and budget tracking. Their dated history runs from mid-2012 to mid-2026, with entries appearing one or two per month across the span, showing no concentrated period. The traction leaders are Grocery List: Groovry, Listek: Grocery List, and Wayfull, each with a minimal activity signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 16 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
