Every place, every household
Track pantry, back-stock, fridge, freezer, deep freeze and garage items, with named shelves, search and an all-households view.
Requires iOS 17 or later on iPhone; Apple Watch app requires watchOS 10 or later. Control Center controls require iOS 18 or later.
0.1 (6) beta
Made for the way families keep house
What HouseStocked does, shown with the real app.
Every home in one app
Your house, Mom's and a friend's, each with its own pantry, fridge, freezers and garage. One tap switches houses.
- Search one house or all of them at once
- Each house names its own places
- iCloud sync and household sharing are enabled in this beta through iCloud. Invite family to a household using iCloud. Sharing needs an iCloud account and a connection; production sharing still needs verification with two Apple IDs.
Use-next quality dates
Write the freeze date once. HouseStocked works out when each thing is at its best and gently lists what to use next.
- "Best quality" dates from USDA FoodKeeper guidance
- A calm "Use next" nudge, never a warning
- Change any date when you know better
One shopping list
When something is used up in any house, it lands on one shared list, marked with whose house it is for.
- Running-low items add themselves
- Shopping entries keep their household labels
- Tick it off in the store
A simpler view, when you want it.
Simple mode is three big buttons: Add, Used up, What do I have? Large words, high contrast, and it can read the screen aloud.
EnglishEspañol
- Each person picks Simple or Standard
- Works with iPhone text size and VoiceOver
- Every screen in English and Spanish
More than the phone
The same list, wherever you are in the house or the store.
- Apple Watch: tick off the shopping list and see what to use next
- Live Activities follow a shopping trip and a thawing countdown on the Lock Screen
- Widgets and Control Center controls, plus Siri and Shortcuts
- Add by voice, barcode, label photo or a grocery receipt scan (read on your phone)
- Print QR labels for freezer bags
- Household supplies such as batteries (beta)
- Optional store reminders: your saved stores stay on your phone, and the setting is off until you turn it on
- Your data: export, review, delete or reset local data in Settings
Existing app captures from the repository show sample data. Fresh captures of every beta surface are not yet available.
How it works
Start with three simple steps
Add it
Say it, scan the barcode, or snap the handwritten freezer label.
See it
Everything in every place, in every house, in big, clear words.
Use it
Use next shows what to cook first. Running out adds it to the list.
In the current beta
Households and iCloud
iCloud sync and household sharing are enabled in this beta through iCloud. Invite family to a household using iCloud. Sharing needs an iCloud account and a connection; production sharing still needs verification with two Apple IDs.
Add your way
Type, speak, scan a barcode or enter a UPC, read a handwritten freezer label, or scan a grocery receipt. Unknown barcodes can be named manually. Receipt drafts can be edited before saving.
Use next and FoodKeeper
Editable freeze dates and USDA FoodKeeper best-quality guidance help order Use next for the freezer and deep freeze. These estimates describe quality, not food safety.
Running low and shopping
Set target quantities. Running low feeds one shopping list across households, alongside manual entries. Group by aisle, check off purchases and print the list.
Recall information
The app compares public openFDA food recall notices with saved items on the phone. Possible matches need checking against the official notice. Alerts may be late or incomplete and are not a safety guarantee.
Apple Watch, widgets and Siri
Use next and Running low widgets, Control Center controls, Siri and Shortcuts bring stock and shopping actions closer. Apple Watch shows Use next and lets you check off shopping. Live Activities follow shopping trips and thawing countdowns.
Backups, print and export
Automatic backups stay on this iPhone, with 7 daily, 4 weekly and 3 monthly copies. Settings offers backup export, restore with a safety copy and Undo, plus JSON and CSV data export. Print or share on-hand stock and shopping lists as PDF or CSV. This is not an overnight iCloud backup service.
Simple, Standard, English and Spanish
Choose Simple mode for the three large Add, Used up and What do I have? actions, or Standard for more detail. English and Spanish, text-size settings and Read aloud are available. Device accessibility verification is still pending.
More tools already in the beta
Print QR freezer labels, check inventory shelf by shelf, record prices, save recipes and a week plan on this phone, and optionally enable saved-store reminders. Household supplies and Freezer Guard are beta features. Guard is off by default and receives reports from a Home automation you set up; it does not monitor a sensor continuously or guarantee food safety. RepDial write-through and Pro code distribution are not available.
Voice is optional. In Standard mode, speech is processed on your iPhone; type instead if your phone does not support it. In Simple mode, Apple may process speech when on-device recognition is unavailable. Apple Watch quick add uses system dictation. Camera label and receipt recognition run on the phone; review the proposed text and dates before saving.
