Core Concepts

Understanding these key concepts will help you make the most of Shoppis:

• Smart Lists: Your shopping lists automatically organize items by category and can suggest quantities based on your purchase history.
• Voice Recognition: Shoppis understands natural language, so you can speak normally when adding items. Say "Add two pounds of ground beef" and it will understand both the item and quantity.
• Barcode Intelligence: Scanning a barcode doesn't just add the item - it includes brand information, nutritional data, and price history when available.
• Shared Lists: Family members can collaborate on the same list in real-time. When someone adds or checks off an item, everyone sees the update instantly.
• Budget Tracking: Set spending limits for different categories (groceries, household items, etc.) and get alerts when you're approaching your limits.
• Purchase History: Shoppis remembers what you buy and when, making it easy to reorder regular items and track spending patterns.
