Hi there,
I’m imagining it would be super convenient to raise your wrist and add things to your to do list or grocery list.
Does anyone have an Apple Watch compatible app they recommend where you can raise your wrist and add things to your grocery list or to do lists?
Thanks in advance!
The Things app
Here’s something I do with my grocery reminder list. I put all my regular grocery stores on the list as a location-based reminder and then minimize them, so whenever I get to any of those grocery stores, the list automatically pops up.
And I just have to say to Siri “add potato chips to the walmart list”. You don’t have to say the entire list name.
A recent update to reminders will also sort by the section of the store.
Microsoft to do is pretty decent
I started using AnyList and I generally maintain my weekly grocery list in the webapp and it syncs to the phone and the watch. It is nice once set up, but kinda clunky on the fly. It does add to current list nicely, but that assumes you have a list set up. There is a $10/y sub.
I have not played with the Reminders app for grocery lists, but I believe it can now easily perform that task in spades with the lates update. Will probably try it when my sub for AnyList runs out. At least worth the look before paying for an app/sub. Especially since it is an included app anyway and works across all devices.
- Apple Reminders for tasks and reminders.
- OurGroceries for shopping lists. Have been using it for many years now. And Reminders doesn’t scan barcodes.
My vote is for the native Reminders app, the updates in ios17 are awesome especially for grocery lists. If you set the list to hide completed items your watch will only show current items and as you check them off they are hidden.
I like bring. And it works cross sync with android for sharing lists with my wife’s phone
My wife and I are using the app “Buy me a pie” for many years and it syncs perfectly between iPhones and AWs. You can make different lists for different shops and the app categorizes automatically. New products are entered once and will be as suggested if entered again. Works super!!!
My wife and I are using “Buy me a pie” for years. Sync is perfect even on both watches and app has feature to make multiple lists for multiple stores and also categorizes all groceries.
I’ve been using Things, but may switch to Reminders or Bring now, from what I see in the comments. Lol
Todoist.
Does Todoist auto categorize items as you add them?
Yes.
Bring does it for me. Main reason for me why I use Bring instead of Apple Reminders is Alexa integration. Very convenient that I everyone in our household can easily add stuff to the list.
AnyList. You can create different lists like ‘groceries’ or ‘work’ and say ‘hey siri add eggs to groceries in AnyList”.
Seconded. One thing Reminders doesn’t have is the ability to build a grocery list from a recipe. AnyList does a great job of that.
It is not super convenient. Screen to small. Shopping list too big. Use iPhone.
