Larder & List

Larder & List is a shared grocery list and recipe library for a household of two. It is made for people who already cook — couples, small families, roommates — and want one quiet tool that holds the list between trips and remembers the recipes they actually make.

No accounts to create. No subscription treadmill. No AI meal plans selling you a lifestyle. Just a list, a larder, and a few recipes you keep coming back to.

SHARE A LIST, WITHOUT THE DRAMA

One list, two phones. Add "olive oil" from the couch and watch it appear on your partner's phone in seconds. Changes sync over iCloud — Apple's privacy terms, not ours — so nobody else can read your groceries.

RECIPES YOU ACTUALLY COOK

Paste a link from your favorite food blog and the app pulls the ingredients, steps, and photo into a cleanly laid-out recipe card. Older blogs without structured data? Tap "Scan with Camera" to capture the page with your camera instead. Or just type your grandmother's chili from memory — plain text works too.

Each recipe renders with editorial typography: italic serif step numbers, a two-column ingredient layout with mono-caps measures on the left and serif names on the right, hairline rules between steps. It reads like a magazine, because a recipe should be pleasant to read.

AISLE-SORTED, ALWAYS

Items group by where they live in the store — Produce, Dairy, Meat, Bakery, Frozen, Pantry, Beverages, Household — so you walk each aisle once. Tell the app where something belongs the first time and it remembers for next time.

SMALL TOUCHES THAT ADD UP

— Track the 10:1 protein-to-calorie ratio on recipe cards, if that's a thing you care about. If it isn't, turn it off. — Undo any deletion for 30 days via Recently Deleted. — Adjust the serving size of any recipe and quantities scale with it. — Everything adapts to system text size so it stays legible. — Dark mode is handled thoughtfully, with warm ink on a tempered paper background — not the pitch-black dashboard look.

WHO IT'S FOR

Larder & List is for people who treat cooking as a craft, not a chore. If you have a short list of recipes you make often, a running grocery list you keep mentally between trips, and a partner who sometimes gets to the store first — this is the app we wanted.

It is not a meal planner. It will not suggest dinners. It will not gamify your pantry. It will hold the list, remember the recipes, and get out of your way.

REQUIRES

iOS 17 or later. iCloud for sharing. A partner is optional — solo use is fully supported. The app works offline and syncs when a connection returns.
