CartCap: Grocery Budget List

The list that learns what you pay — so you notice when prices creep, and get out under budget every week. Buy once. No ads, no account, no subscription.

Set a cap. Stay under it.

CartCap is a shopping list with one number that matters: yours. Give the trip a cap, add prices as you cart, and watch the vessel fill — green means you're fine, amber means you're close. If you choose to go over, CartCap tells you plainly and never scolds. It's a copilot, not a nanny.

THE TOTAL, WITHOUT UNLOCKING Your running total lives on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. One hand on the cart, one glance at the top of the screen — no app-hunting in the aisle.

IT KNOWS WHAT YOU PAID — AND WHEN IT CHANGED Nobody notices the same basket creeping 30 cents at a time. Receipts get tossed; prices drift. CartCap remembers your prices, fills them in next trip, and tells you plainly when something costs more than last time — "$0.49 more than last time," right as you shop. Price Check in your history shows what moved, from your own record, no scraped averages. Your list even learns to sort itself into your walking order through the store, and one tap plans next week's trip from this one.
