Keeps track of what is in the house, and tells you when something has run out or is going off A shopping list that adds what has dropped below its minimum on its own Barcodes to enter what you bought and what you used - with your phone camera too Recipes and a weekly meal plan that subtract the ingredients from your stock Chores and recurring jobs, so whose turn it is can be seen First steps Open kamra.tester4.test in your browser Sign in with the name admin and the password shown on the settings page Add your first few products („Products”, then „Add”) and give them a minimum amount On your phone, add it to the home screen from the browser menu - it then opens like an app and can read barcodes with the camera Before you start No external hard drive is needed After shopping What you brought home goes into the stock in a minute, with its due date. In the menu on the left, select „Purchase”. In „Product”, type the product's name, or read its barcode with the camera button. Fill in „Amount” and „Due date”, and „Price” too if you like. Select „OK”. For the next product, start again at „Product”. When something is used up When you note what you used, Grocy knows what is left at home. In the menu on the left, select „Consume”. Choose the product, and enter how much you used. If the product went off, tick „Spoiled”. Select „OK”. Shopping list The list fills itself with what has dropped below its minimum. In the menu on the left, open the „Shopping list” page. In the „Stock actions” menu, choose „Add products that are below defined min. stock amount”. Write anything else on it with „Add item”. After the shop, choose „Add all list items to stock” in the „Stock actions” menu, so the items on the list go into the stock. Share out the chores Recurring jobs show what is due and whose turn it is. In the „Manage master data” menu, open the „Chores” page, and select „Add”. Fill in „Name”, and in „Period type” choose, for example, „Weekly”. In „Assignment type”, decide how the job goes round the family, then select „Save”. On the „Chores overview” page, the green button at the start of the row (a play icon) marks a job as done. Frequently asked questions How does a family member get their own account? In the wrench menu at the top right, choose „Manage users”, select „Add”, and enter a name and a password. Nobody can register on their own. What do the colours mean on the „Stock overview” page? Yellow: due soon. Grey: past its best-before date. Red: expired, no longer safe to eat. Blue: dropped below its minimum; the „Below min. stock amount” filter shows only these. Can I change the language? Grocy starts in your browser's language. Choose another on the „User settings” page of the wrench menu, in „Language”. Does anything go out to the internet? Camera barcode reading runs in your browser and sends nothing out. If you choose „External barcode lookup” for an unknown barcode, Grocy looks the product up in the Open Food Facts database. Where is my data? On the box, in Grocy's own storage. What goes into the backup is shown on the dashboard, on the app's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
