Real-time shared grocery lists across household members.
Shared household grocery list app
Family Basket
A shared grocery list app that keeps households in sync from list to checkout.
Overview
What Family Basket is and why it exists.
Family Basket lets households share grocery lists in real time so nobody buys duplicates or forgets an item. Members join a household with a pairing code, then add, check off, and track items together as purchases happen.
Highlights

The story
From problem to product.
The problem
Grocery lists shared over chat or notes apps quickly go out of sync, leading to duplicate purchases, forgotten items, and unclear ownership over what still needs to be bought.
The approach
A dedicated shared-list experience where households join through a pairing code and see live updates as items are added, checked off, and purchased, keeping everyone on the same page.
