Grocy

Grocy is a web-based household management application focused on groceries, pantry inventory, and everyday home routines. It combines stock tracking, shopping workflows, and planning tools in a single interface, with a REST API that powers the web UI.

Key Features

• Pantry/stock management with quantity, best-before dates, and consumption tracking
• Shopping lists with product management and workflow-oriented item picking
• Meal planning tools to organize meals and related ingredients
• Chores and household task tracking with scheduling and history
• Barcode scanning support (including camera-based scanning in supported browsers)
• Built-in REST API used by the frontend for automation and integrations
• Localization support with configurable default locale and per-user language settings
• Feature flags to hide/disable major modules you don’t use

Use Cases

• Track pantry inventory and reduce waste by monitoring best-before dates
• Maintain shared household shopping lists and restocking workflows
• Plan meals and coordinate household routines like chores and recurring tasks

Limitations and Considerations

• Uses SQLite by default; performance and features depend on the SQLite version available
• RTL (right-to-left) languages are not supported

Grocy is well-suited for individuals and families who want structured home inventory and routine management without relying on third-party services. Its API-first design and modular feature sets also make it practical to integrate into broader home-automation or personal productivity setups.
