Mark an item opened and the app shows an estimated quality window, using its built-in shelf-life guidance for hundreds of products. Scan a product barcode to add it without typing. No fridge inventory to maintain. Freshness is opt-in, per item, and it pings your phone as the estimate approaches.
These dates are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations; storage and handling vary, so follow package and official guidance and discard food when in doubt.
Browse shelf life by food, A to Z
Share a list with your household and changes normally sync across connected devices in near real time. Network or service interruptions can delay updates. Owners, members and view-only roles are enforced by the server, not just hidden in the app.
How real-time shared lists work
Appointments, deadlines and events in Agenda, 30 days or Family views. The Family grid runs days across and hours down, with each event in the colour of the person it belongs to and an avatar row that narrows the grid to whoever you tap. Anyone on the list can answer, and say who is covering the pickup, so the school run is not settled in a group chat.
Keep a family recipe as a shareable list: ingredients plus steps, shared view-only so it stays exactly as you wrote it, and one tap adds every ingredient to a grocery list. Capture one from a page you are reading, or paste it in. Grandma’s pasta, out of the group chat.
Share a recipe, shop it in one tap
Write "milk every Tuesday" and it lands as a repeating item, not as three separate fields. Dates and repeats are read out of what you type, in every add box, and the app shows you what it understood before it applies it.
Groceries, chores with an allowance tally, home and car maintenance on a repeating interval, packing, projects on a board. One app instead of one per job.
No signal in the back of the shop? You can still add an item, fix a quantity and check things off. Those changes queue and go up when you are back, and the app tells you what it queued rather than pretending the write landed.
Install it to a phone home screen straight from the browser. It’s a Progressive Web App: no store account, no download, no separate update to remember.

Household lists are unusually revealing data: what you eat, when you shop, how many of you there are, whether there is a baby. Most free list apps pay for themselves with that. This one does not.
Nothing appears on your list that your household did not put there. No banner across the top, and no "suggested" item quietly added to your shopping list because a brand paid for the slot.
Your grocery list says a great deal about your household. That is precisely why it is not for sale, to a data broker or to anybody else.
Item and list names are used to run the app and nothing else. Nobody is mining them to work out what you eat so it can be sold back to you as an advertisement.
A one-click JSON export of every list is on every tier, including the free one. It is not a retention lever, so it is not behind the paywall.
One optional household upgrade funds this app. That is the whole business model, which is what makes the four promises above safe to rely on: with no advertiser and no data buyer, there is nobody else for us to be working for.
Yes. Sharing a list with your household, real-time sync, aisle grouping, barcode scanning, boards and reminders are all free: Free covers 2 shared lists with up to 4 people. Freshness tracking is free on up to 5 items at a time; the paid Household tier lifts those caps so you can share more and track as much of the fridge as you like.
MyListResort uses general once-opened storage guidance for hundreds of products to show an estimated quality window. Actual freshness depends on storage and handling, so the estimate is not a food-safety determination.
Yes. Turn on notifications and MyListResort gives you a heads-up as an item’s date approaches, whether that is an estimated freshness window on an opened jar or a due date on a task, chore or maintenance job. Everything landing that day arrives as one notification at the hour you pick, and since it is an ordinary phone notification it shows up on a paired watch too.
It is a pun. Read it as “my list resort”, the place your household’s lists live, or as “my last resort”, the list app you land on after the others let you down. Despite the name there is no hotel involved: MyListResort is a free web app for shared household lists and once-opened food freshness tracking.
MyListResort is a free, installable web app for households: real-time shared grocery lists with estimated once-opened freshness windows based on general storage guidance, plus home and auto maintenance schedules, event planning and gift lists, shared checklists, progress boards, and a family chore chart with allowance tracking. Freshness dates are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations. This app needs JavaScript; the pages below describe it.
