App summary
Grocy Mobile is a companion application for a self-hosted Grocy server that helps you manage pantry inventory and shopping lists from an iPhone or iPad. The interface is tuned for mobile devices and it can authenticate through Home Assistant Ingress. Because the app expects you to run the Grocy server yourself, it does not provide hosted server rentals inside the app — this arrangement helps keep the app freely distributable.
Minimum setup
- Run your own Grocy instance (required for saving and syncing data).
- Install Grocy Mobile on an iPhone or iPad for a mobile-optimized experience.
- Optionally use Home Assistant Ingress to sign in if you prefer that integration.
Standout capabilities
- Rapid “quick scan” mode for fast barcode or item interactions.
- Full inventory/stock control to track quantities, expirations, and locations.
- Built-in shopping list functionality to plan and organize purchases.
- Master data tools to manage product records and categories.
- Native iOS interface that adapts to device conventions.
- Automatic dark-mode support for low-light use.
- Available in both English and German for international users.
Interface and localization
The app follows a native design approach, so it feels consistent with iOS standards and performs smoothly on iPhones and iPads. Automatic dark mode switches the theme based on system settings, and the app ships with complete translations for English and German.
