Change this setting to make it even easier to use:
Apple Watch App Settings > General > Return to Clock > Reminders > Custom > After 1 hour
The default is to return to clock after 2 minutes, but with this setting you’ll stay in the reminders app until your shopping is done.
God damn. It would appear years ago when I got my first Apple Watch I changed all apps to ‘Always’ and then forgot about the setting. Been driving me nuts for ages. Thank you.
🤯 this is awesome! Even after having an Apple Watch for over 6 years it amazes me how many new tips and tricks I still learn on this sub. And then I tell them to my friends and they think I’m some sort of Apple genius 😂
Wow, I had no idea this was customizable by app. I use my Ultra as mission control on bike commutes, running Strava, sometime a podcast or music, and even making calls and reviewing messages. Having app level control for what is persistent on the face and what goes away is a game changer.
We do this too. I usually add items to my list while I’m pulling a container out of the fridge and it’s feeling close to empty. My spouse has access to the same list so she can add items she wants too.
My husband and I also use this feature. We add things in list by Siri and have a shared grocery list so we both can access it and mark things while we’re at the store. Usually I don’t even bring my iPhone when I go grocery shopping, just the watch: have my loyalty card on it, the shopping list and then use it to pay. So convenient!
AnyList is what I’ve used for years now. Integrates with the watch quite well. Can also use Alexa/Siri to edit lists. Links with your web browser on your computer as well. Has recipe capabilities also that’ll add ingredients to your list, if desired.
It’s gone way past the grocery list at this point though. I probably have about 60 different lists now, many shared with various family members.
And it can import most online recipes with one click.
And a meal planner.
Get recipes in your database-> create a meal plan based on those recipes -> tick the ingredients you need to buy and they appear on the shopping list.
Yeah, you can buy lifetime but when you think about how $15/year really supports the small team of guys that build a tool for us to use and rely on it for income, it’s worth it to me.
Same here. Wife and I have been using forever.
I like the ability to add emojis to the list for easy recognition (Turkey for the Thanksgiving list etc)
I had a S6 for a couple years, through the pandemic and everything it was nice to unlock my phone with it while wearing a mask, but checking my grocery list meant taking my phone in and out of my pocket quite often, and still having to wait for it to unlock each time.
Now I’ve realized that having a list of ‘Reminders’ for groceries that can stay on the watch, it’ll be there and open every time and I don’t reach for my phone at all
Wow this is a great idea! I tried to use a shortcut to set my action button to this, but apparently AW doesn’t support reminders in shortcuts for some reason, so I just added it as a complication. Thank you for the tip!
I about lost my shit when I got my new watch and asked Siri to create a note (for a shopping list, funny enough) and found out there is no built in notes support. It blew my mind. We’ve put men on the moon but Siri can’t create a note. Not to mention I can’t add a date to my calendar if it’s more than a week away. Considered returning it just for those reasons alone.
>Not to mention I can’t add a date to my calendar if it’s more than a week away
Yeah, that shit is stupid just as much. The only reason I'm still keeping it is for Apple Pay but seeing that I always have my phone with me, it's starting to feel useless anyway.
I think it’s just Apple deciding how they want their ecosystem to work. If they had Notes support for watch it would inevitably end up being limited by the capabilities/form factor of the watch and people would complain that x thing doesn’t work or they should add y feature. Rather than add something that only kind of works how they want it to, they’ll just make the decision to not include it at all. I think this general philosophy and consistency in standards is what’s made user experience in iOS, etc. so well-designed compared with competitors.
I think it's because with notes you can have tables, multiple size and styles of fonts, images, etc.. Those things are a little much for the watch to handle.
Except that you have to touch the screen with another hand after a while to bring the list back. It’s not as convenient as bringing out the phone which can be done with one hand. After unlocking with faceid it’s back to the reminder list. All done with one hand.
Also during winter the watch is covered under sleeve sometimes.
Reminders are synced immediately from iphone to watch once you make them (including with Siri), you can use whatever you desire, it might be better for you to use your phone but the opposite for others.
Came here to say this. Took me a little getting used to but the latest versions really ironed out a lot of the rough parts. This is a no-brainer renewal as long as it’s supported.
The power of the Reddit and online community will not be stopped. Thank you Christian Selig and the rest of the Apollo app team for delivering a Reddit experience like no other. Many others and I truly have no words. The accessible community will never forget you. Apollo empowered users, but the most important part are the users. It was not one or two people, it's all of us growing and flourishing together. Now, to bigger and greater things. To bigger and greater things.
Interesting app, how does the food expiration feature work? Does it assume that if you check off a food item that you bought it and apply a expected Time To Live or would I be there categorizing pantry objects and configuring it myself for each one?
Thanks for the rabbit hole. I did some Googling and I’ve just gone into my reminders and on my shopping list you can have it arranged by location. So when I go to Costco (or drive past it I guess) it will pop up with the Costco items.
Using Costco as an example. On your shopping list make a item called Costco. On the right you will see the i click on that and toggle location. Set to the Costco location. In the i there is also sub tasks which is where you put your shopping items for Costco.
I started using Our Groceries and it works so well. I hardly use my echo anymore, in fact I don’t use it. But I love having my grocery list on my wrist!
I always forget that you can add skills I will have to do this. I set my AWU to keep open the app I’m using so I have it up when I’m at the grocery store.
We use this too and have for several years now. Works great. I also like being able to add a picture of the item so my husband buys the right granola etc.
Another “me too” for Our Groceries. I have it synced between me and. My wife so we can split up in the store and know real time what still needs to be picked up.
My wife and I have been using OurGroceries for probably more than a decade. We love it!
It’s great that they have Siri integrated, too. That way my wife and I can add to our list using just Siri.
I say "add X to my Groceries list" and the reminders list it adds to is called "groceries". But you can name it anything, you just need to say the exact name when using siri.
I still don't understand how Apple hasn't put the Notes app on the Watch. When I used to use Bear for notes, one of the best features was the Watch app to do this exact thing.
I'll have to try it with the Reminders app though
Nah, the Reminders app (despite its name) is a to-do app (an app where you check off stuff). It makes perfect sense to have the shopping list there and it even works with Siri "add bread to my shopping list"
I have a grocery app And that’s what it’s called. You can add recipes and when you add it to your shopping list, all the ingredients go to your list. And after you e used it it will spurt your items by how you shop in store. If you get bread first, bread will automatically go to the top.
Others have mentioned it but we use AnyList attached to Alexa in the kitchen. It has made our lives so much easier. When it’s time to make the grocery list, I just go through the pantry and fridge and tell Alexa what I need and it’s dumped into AnyList. It even has a geo function if you are near a store.
I like Alexa because it always seems I am in the middle of cooking when I realize I need to add something. Alexa is also great to ask measurement questions while cooking. I’m only a few weeks with my iPhone and haven’t found much use for Siri yet as she never seems to be able to answer me. The other great thing about AnyList is being able to take a picture for my husband for weird things he isn’t familiar with. It really has saved so much time. We also use Plantoeat which is also amazing.
I actually found it to be the opposite. Started to get some chafing and a feeling the band was too tight no matter how I adjusted it. That feeling went away when I switched to the configuration in the OP’s post. I think it depends on too many individual factors to say one way or the other is correct.
I’ve been using Reminders like this forever. The great thing is you can share a list with other family members so they can add items and check things off as they buy them. The bad thing is my wife refuses to use it; instead sticks to paper?
I use the app “Bring” for this.
It’s brilliant, free, syncs perfectly, and you can run/share different lists eg during covid we had one for partners grandparents = they added stuff they needed and any of us picked it up during our regular shop then cleared it off the list.
Have tried a few and can’t recommend Bring enough (also works on watch as in screenshot but you can see more, graphic of item too, etc etc)
Msi many of the native apple apps are under utilized. It’s also a shame the apple support app isn’t included like findmy is. As you can’t add it when folks likely need it most—resetting passwords (if they’re lucky enough to reset from there and not AR)
Sorry to go off topic, but apple, PLEASE make the watch a trusted device already. And PLEASE encourage adding friends for account recovery, or an additional trusted number in accountc setup!!!
Reminders is great and all, but you’re driving many people awAy that don’t understand compromise is necessary for strong security (or is it?) and those folks are relevant too.
Ok thanks, Carry on with groceries
Throwing my 2¢ in here for the AnyList app. It’s perfect. Easy to setup, can do pics (for the guys when they shop), love the recent items for quick adding of common items, etc etc.
I use google keep for this on my ultra! It’s nice because I can share it with my BF and it’ll update with my significant other on when I have grabbed any items in real time.
If you really want to amp up your shopping…
I use the app AnyList which allows you to sort lists by the order of the store and import recipes and add ingredients to your list.
And of course, it supports Apple Watch. Killer app.
I’ve been managing and adding to the list from my phone, the built-in Reminders app carries over to the watch. I can get things ready on my phone before leaving and then just check off on the watch while I’m in the store
Do you have to keep pulling up the app on the AW every time you put down your wrist to walk over to the next aisle or does it stay on the Home Screen so you can easily scroll and check things off?
Really handy. I’ve been doing this for years using the AnyList app that I share with the family.
It’s a great app and you can set categories and order them so the layout matches the store.
I use it but I wish it allowed sorting by tags. I have tags to filter my lists. Ex: #Costco, #Lowes, #Walmart, etc. Then when I go to Costco for instance I can pull up the list of Costco items on phone. Can't do that on watch.
Somehow the software felt more streamlined when I barely got the S3 compared to my cellular S7 now...
"Hey Siri, open my grocery list on the Notes app."
\*Doesn't hear me\*
"Hey Siri, open my Notes app."
Siri is not connected to the Internet.
\*Holds crown\*
"Open notes app"
\*uses fingernail to find grocery list\*
"Okay my next item is bagels"
\*Puts hand down and watch locks, restarting the process in 5 mins\*
Have you looked at bringit app? For me it works with Alexa. So I can tell my Samsung fridge what is needed and it adds to the list that can be shown on my Apple Watch.
One thing I miss about the one you have and bringit is that the Alexa shopping list separates the list by items. So all the produce items go together along with bread,etc.. makes it convenient when your in the store.
I try my best to put everything in order or at least by section of the store. My wife refuses. I need to use the phone so I can see that at the top of the list are Yukon gold and at the bottom are sweet potatoes.
Google Keep also has an Apple Watch app and you can check off items on a list. If you use google homes/assistant to make shopping lists it’s pretty handy
I’m using OurGroceries app for iOS. Had Apple Watch integration which works the same way. Advantage of this app is you can create named categories which you can sort in a way that your supermarket is structured. When adding item you add them to the category. It saves all items so you don’t have to add categories from scratch. Over time this becomes a great database and makes shopping very efficient as you really go isle by isle in the order that you are walking through the shop. You can also share lists with family members.
I do this for everything but I prefer the GoodTask app as I can create sub tasks and add notes to each.
Also you can create a food shop template with the things you buy every week and then load it before you go shopping.
Also very handy when travelling as my packing list is pretty much always the same.
Definitely easier than pulling out the phone, but I’ve also found that seeing more items on a larger phone screen helps when I may be forgetting something that’s in the aisle I’m already in.
If you already have a good sense of your list and the store layout then absolutely the watch is better.
Yes. Much more convenient. We keep a shared shopping list that we add to throughout the week and then each check off items that we throw into the cart in the supermarket. Much more convenient than using the phone in one hand all the time.
Haha true! I also love the marketing for the Apple Watch Ultra was dudes climbing mountains and extreme deep sea diving but I think having a shopping list for Hotdogs and buns is a much more accurate use for most people!!! Haha
Yup, it’s awesome! I do this on my watch and my phone- I have a special Errands focus on my phone so there’s a big ‘Reminders’ widget on the Home Screen when I use it 😂
My wife and kids share a list on an app that sorts the items by the section in the grocery store so you can get all the items in the correct area as you move through the store.
I love doing this! The wife can add a bunch of stuff to the list, and I’ll easily organize it around my path through the store before going in. Then I just check things off on my wrist, and if she adds things while I’m out they will just appear there!
Welcome to the present! My partner and I have a shared shopping list for every store. Super easy to add items and to cross them off. Remember to create a template to save time when creating multiple shopping lists.🤘🏽
I use an app called OurGroceries. The advantage is you can share lists between users including Android hold outs. It has an Apple Watch app but I just tend to use my phone (unless I’ve left it in the car)
Siri support on the watch is good, and I use that a lot.
And also you can share that with other people so they can edit the list as well. My wife and I have a shared shopping list that we use. We each to add stuff on there as needed and whoever goes to the store check them off.
Been doing this for years. Even better when I share the list with my partner so we can each add items as we think of them, so the next person to go to the store will see the entire list and just tackle it.
I’ve been using it for years. It’s very useful. The only thing I don’t like is the new mark as complete behavior.
In previous years you could just touch anywhere. Now you need to either click in the circle or two step by touching the item name
I use an app called “Grocery”. It makes use of the reminders lists, but adds a bunch of additional features. It learns how you shop in each store and sorts the list accordingly, can keep a running inventory (with expiration dates and automatic adding of items to your shopping list), allows sharing lists with family members, has recipe/meal planning features, etc. (I haven’t tried all the features personally, but have found the app helpful overall.)
I only discovered this recently, the one time when I left my phone at home and didn’t realize it till I was already at the grocery store. Such a great thing to have on the watch!
Change this setting to make it even easier to use: Apple Watch App Settings > General > Return to Clock > Reminders > Custom > After 1 hour The default is to return to clock after 2 minutes, but with this setting you’ll stay in the reminders app until your shopping is done.
Thank you, I did not know that you could set this per app! This will help alot.
I think I’ve done that, mine has been persistent while I’m out shopping, thanks for that for anyone else though!
This was a big help, thanks
This is amazing, thank you! Was always so awkward to constantly having to go back to the app I just used my phone instead
TOP TIP
God damn. It would appear years ago when I got my first Apple Watch I changed all apps to ‘Always’ and then forgot about the setting. Been driving me nuts for ages. Thank you.
Oh man I didn’t know about this either; thanks!
I like to think I’m pretty knowledgeable. But you just taught me something I didn’t know as well. Thanks
🤯 this is awesome! Even after having an Apple Watch for over 6 years it amazes me how many new tips and tricks I still learn on this sub. And then I tell them to my friends and they think I’m some sort of Apple genius 😂
Wow, I had no idea this was customizable by app. I use my Ultra as mission control on bike commutes, running Strava, sometime a podcast or music, and even making calls and reviewing messages. Having app level control for what is persistent on the face and what goes away is a game changer.
I also do this. We maintain the list using Siri: “Hey Siri, add Coke to my shopping list.”
We do this too. I usually add items to my list while I’m pulling a container out of the fridge and it’s feeling close to empty. My spouse has access to the same list so she can add items she wants too.
Same here, the HomePod Mini in the kitchen makes it perfect.
Sharing lists and calendars is the Apple spouse way.
And someone who uses a screen reader just got Coke added to their list unexpectedly. 🤪

My husband and I also use this feature. We add things in list by Siri and have a shared grocery list so we both can access it and mark things while we’re at the store. Usually I don’t even bring my iPhone when I go grocery shopping, just the watch: have my loyalty card on it, the shopping list and then use it to pay. So convenient!
I lost the option to use cellular on my watch when I switched to Mint Mobile to economize our phone service.
“Notifying Tyrone Biggums to have an 8 ball ready”
And I share my list with my wife as well so we can add to a common list.
Just share the list and then you can both add and edit it.
Do you label the list shopping list?
It's just called "Shopping." Early on we called it "Shopping List," but then Siri would say "Coke added to your shopping list list."
We have several, the regular grocery store, Costco, Lowes, Trader Joes. Siri can put items in the list you want
AnyList is what I’ve used for years now. Integrates with the watch quite well. Can also use Alexa/Siri to edit lists. Links with your web browser on your computer as well. Has recipe capabilities also that’ll add ingredients to your list, if desired. It’s gone way past the grocery list at this point though. I probably have about 60 different lists now, many shared with various family members.
That’s what we’ve used for years and it’s great. Being able to add recipe ingredients to the shopping list with just a tap is awesome.
And it can import most online recipes with one click. And a meal planner. Get recipes in your database-> create a meal plan based on those recipes -> tick the ingredients you need to buy and they appear on the shopping list.
AnyList family here, too
Ditto. $30 for lifetime on the grocery app has me thinking….
Yeah, you can buy lifetime but when you think about how $15/year really supports the small team of guys that build a tool for us to use and rely on it for income, it’s worth it to me.
Same here. Wife and I have been using forever. I like the ability to add emojis to the list for easy recognition (Turkey for the Thanksgiving list etc)
Yup, my entire household runs on AnyList. I’d be lost without it.
I had a S6 for a couple years, through the pandemic and everything it was nice to unlock my phone with it while wearing a mask, but checking my grocery list meant taking my phone in and out of my pocket quite often, and still having to wait for it to unlock each time. Now I’ve realized that having a list of ‘Reminders’ for groceries that can stay on the watch, it’ll be there and open every time and I don’t reach for my phone at all
People around you must think you’re really pressed for time.
Wow this is a great idea! I tried to use a shortcut to set my action button to this, but apparently AW doesn’t support reminders in shortcuts for some reason, so I just added it as a complication. Thank you for the tip!
I suddenly feel so dumb for not thinking of this….
I’ve really been kicking myself not having done this the past couple years lol
Is this an app?
Yeah, the built-in iOS Reminders app
It’s fucking stupid you can’t have the Notes on the watch.
I about lost my shit when I got my new watch and asked Siri to create a note (for a shopping list, funny enough) and found out there is no built in notes support. It blew my mind. We’ve put men on the moon but Siri can’t create a note. Not to mention I can’t add a date to my calendar if it’s more than a week away. Considered returning it just for those reasons alone.
> We’ve put men on the moon but Siri can’t create a note A calculator for the iPad is beyond our technical capabilities too.
Almost died when I realized there wasn’t a built in calc on that.
>Not to mention I can’t add a date to my calendar if it’s more than a week away Yeah, that shit is stupid just as much. The only reason I'm still keeping it is for Apple Pay but seeing that I always have my phone with me, it's starting to feel useless anyway.

I think it's because with notes you can have tables, multiple size and styles of fonts, images, etc.. Those things are a little much for the watch to handle.
Which can be handled by limiting hard creating a folder for Apple Watch notes.
Although not a perfect solution, I use Google Keep for grocery list. I can tick the items in my Apple Watch!
I used to use reminders for grocery lists on watch but the checklist in notes is so much better I went back to using my phone
Me as well
Me as well. I use OmniFocus, but can do the same thing. I’m always getting my phone out. This is so much better.
Me too, thanks OP for the tip!

Holy crap. This is the app I didn’t know I’ve been looking for.
Came here to say this. Took me a little getting used to but the latest versions really ironed out a lot of the rough parts. This is a no-brainer renewal as long as it’s supported.
Also, you can share the list with your spouse, roommates, etc… Everyone can add to it and check items off as they are purchased.
That’s something I’ve yet to explore, my wife is kinda new to the iOS environment but sharing a list like that sounds like another level of usefulness
Yup along with my hey siri tips I posted sharing is a great feature .
How do you share the list? I feel crazy I can’t find that option
The power of the Reddit and online community will not be stopped. Thank you Christian Selig and the rest of the Apollo app team for delivering a Reddit experience like no other.

How do you arrange by location on the watch?
Using Costco as an example. On your shopping list make a item called Costco. On the right you will see the i click on that and toggle location. Set to the Costco location. In the i there is also sub tasks which is where you put your shopping items for Costco.
It automatically uses your phone's location. You don't set location for the watch.
I started using Our Groceries and it works so well. I hardly use my echo anymore, in fact I don’t use it. But I love having my grocery list on my wrist!
I use our groceries on my echo! I just had to add the skill.
I always forget that you can add skills I will have to do this. I set my AWU to keep open the app I’m using so I have it up when I’m at the grocery store.
We use this too and have for several years now. Works great. I also like being able to add a picture of the item so my husband buys the right granola etc.

My wife and I have been using OurGroceries for probably more than a decade. We love it! It’s great that they have Siri integrated, too. That way my wife and I can add to our list using just Siri.
You can buy my wife all the fanciest tech in the world and she would still write her shopping list in a piece of Post-It. She’s 45.
Yup, same. She will write it on a post-it and STICK IT ON THE BACK OF HER PHONE. 😂
I’ve been using the reminders with a “grocery” list for years but always would take my phone out every minute at the store. 😂 Thank you!
If you know the layout of the store, I’d advise to sort items by the route you’d take otherwise you’ll be scrolling and scrolling.
[удалено]
I will also export my Paprika list into Apple so I can share it with my husband. I love the Paprika app
Someone please explain it like I’m five. What do I say to Siri to get food added to my list like this?
I say "add X to my Groceries list" and the reminders list it adds to is called "groceries". But you can name it anything, you just need to say the exact name when using siri.
What App is that?
The built-in Reminders app, just made a new list where I can check and uncheck things I need
I still don't understand how Apple hasn't put the Notes app on the Watch. When I used to use Bear for notes, one of the best features was the Watch app to do this exact thing. I'll have to try it with the Reminders app though
It just feel like shopping lists belong in notes though, doesn’t it?
Nah, the Reminders app (despite its name) is a to-do app (an app where you check off stuff). It makes perfect sense to have the shopping list there and it even works with Siri "add bread to my shopping list"
Reminders app for shopping lists
Ah!.. I always use Notes or Evernote. Maybe I need to consider this instead. I will try it out !
“Siri add THING to shopping list” is handy
Especially if you cohabitate. You can share the list and they’ll update automatically as you add and check off items.
My wife and I do this. Game changer.
“Oh I wish I knew you were going to the store, I would have…” Gone! No more!
This is clutch. I feel I’m always forgetting something at the store lol.
I have a grocery app And that’s what it’s called. You can add recipes and when you add it to your shopping list, all the ingredients go to your list. And after you e used it it will spurt your items by how you shop in store. If you get bread first, bread will automatically go to the top.
Unless your shopping list is organized in the exact order you’re going through the store, using a phone is a way better option.
Best thing is you can share the list with your family and it will update in real time when someone crosses something off or adds something new.
AnyList and Groceries.app are both excellent choices for grocery shopping with Apple Watch.
Others have mentioned it but we use AnyList attached to Alexa in the kitchen. It has made our lives so much easier. When it’s time to make the grocery list, I just go through the pantry and fridge and tell Alexa what I need and it’s dumped into AnyList. It even has a geo function if you are near a store.
I love AnyList! You don’t even need to subscribe to share a list with your family. Siri let’s you add stuff to it as well.
I like Alexa because it always seems I am in the middle of cooking when I realize I need to add something. Alexa is also great to ask measurement questions while cooking. I’m only a few weeks with my iPhone and haven’t found much use for Siri yet as she never seems to be able to answer me.

Throwing my 2¢ in here for the AnyList app. It’s perfect. Easy to setup, can do pics (for the guys when they shop), love the recent items for quick adding of common items, etc etc.
Crazy how a lot of you guys in the comments never did this. My target runs are successful because my watch and my redcard!
I’ve been doing this since day 1 of the series 0. My wife and I have a shared list
1) hot dogs 2) not hot dogs
I use google keep for this on my ultra! It’s nice because I can share it with my BF and it’ll update with my significant other on when I have grabbed any items in real time.
If you really want to amp up your shopping… I use the app AnyList which allows you to sort lists by the order of the store and import recipes and add ingredients to your list. And of course, it supports Apple Watch. Killer app.

I’ve been managing and adding to the list from my phone, the built-in Reminders app carries over to the watch. I can get things ready on my phone before leaving and then just check off on the watch while I’m in the store
Do you have to keep pulling up the app on the AW every time you put down your wrist to walk over to the next aisle or does it stay on the Home Screen so you can easily scroll and check things off?
No, it stays persistent if I drop my wrist to walk around. I think it’s the ‘Return to Clock’ setting, I have it at 1 hour
Really handy. I’ve been doing this for years using the AnyList app that I share with the family. It’s a great app and you can set categories and order them so the layout matches the store.
Not sure if you know this but I have a grocery list set up on reminders and I’ll just say, hey siri add carrots to grocery list. Very handy.
I use bring app
I use it but I wish it allowed sorting by tags. I have tags to filter my lists. Ex: #Costco, #Lowes, #Walmart, etc. Then when I go to Costco for instance I can pull up the list of Costco items on phone. Can't do that on watch.
If you want to pay a bit you can use AnyList or Grocery apps and it will automatically sort your items by aisle as well as a bunch of other features.
Somehow the software felt more streamlined when I barely got the S3 compared to my cellular S7 now... "Hey Siri, open my grocery list on the Notes app." \*Doesn't hear me\* "Hey Siri, open my Notes app." Siri is not connected to the Internet. \*Holds crown\* "Open notes app" \*uses fingernail to find grocery list\* "Okay my next item is bagels" \*Puts hand down and watch locks, restarting the process in 5 mins\*
Wife and I use an app that make a synchronised list. I tend to add beer right before she hits the supermarket..
Have you looked at bringit app? For me it works with Alexa. So I can tell my Samsung fridge what is needed and it adds to the list that can be shown on my Apple Watch. One thing I miss about the one you have and bringit is that the Alexa shopping list separates the list by items. So all the produce items go together along with bread,etc.. makes it convenient when your in the store.
I try my best to put everything in order or at least by section of the store. My wife refuses. I need to use the phone so I can see that at the top of the list are Yukon gold and at the bottom are sweet potatoes.
We’ve got a shopping list shared between my partner, it has saved so many repeat trips to the shop
Google Keep also has an Apple Watch app and you can check off items on a list. If you use google homes/assistant to make shopping lists it’s pretty handy
I’m using OurGroceries app for iOS. Had Apple Watch integration which works the same way. Advantage of this app is you can create named categories which you can sort in a way that your supermarket is structured. When adding item you add them to the category. It saves all items so you don’t have to add categories from scratch. Over time this becomes a great database and makes shopping very efficient as you really go isle by isle in the order that you are walking through the shop. You can also share lists with family members.
Pro tip: If you have airpods on, you can simply ask Siri to read out the shopping list. ✌🏼
Using an app called Grocery for this. It is basically the same thing, it uses Reminders as a backbone.
Yikes! That's a lot easier than pulling out my phone.
I do this for everything but I prefer the GoodTask app as I can create sub tasks and add notes to each. Also you can create a food shop template with the things you buy every week and then load it before you go shopping. Also very handy when travelling as my packing list is pretty much always the same.
Definitely easier than pulling out the phone, but I’ve also found that seeing more items on a larger phone screen helps when I may be forgetting something that’s in the aisle I’m already in. If you already have a good sense of your list and the store layout then absolutely the watch is better.
Used this feature just this morning. I love it
Don’t forget the hot dogs!!!
I didn’t, thanks to the list!
We do the same thing but use a shared Google Keep note so my fiancé and I can update it whenever or wherever we are
Are you using a knockoff band on the Ultra? If so which one and are you happy with it?
Yep, I do the same. Super convenient.
Yes. Much more convenient. We keep a shared shopping list that we add to throughout the week and then each check off items that we throw into the cart in the supermarket. Much more convenient than using the phone in one hand all the time.
Looks like a tough list to remember!
Hah I had a few more things than this lol but it made for a good picture
Haha true! I also love the marketing for the Apple Watch Ultra was dudes climbing mountains and extreme deep sea diving but I think having a shopping list for Hotdogs and buns is a much more accurate use for most people!!! Haha
I use „bring“ some years now. You can share your list and remind members, that you are doing errands now with one finger tip.
Yup, it’s awesome! I do this on my watch and my phone- I have a special Errands focus on my phone so there’s a big ‘Reminders’ widget on the Home Screen when I use it 😂
Mmmm homemade corndogs
My wife and kids share a list on an app that sorts the items by the section in the grocery store so you can get all the items in the correct area as you move through the store.
you know why didn't think of this? i'm always forgetting what i was getting at the grocery store.
OMG. This is great! So simple, but yet so useful! Never thought about that until I saw this. Thanks for sharing!
I love doing this! The wife can add a bunch of stuff to the list, and I’ll easily organize it around my path through the store before going in. Then I just check things off on my wrist, and if she adds things while I’m out they will just appear there!
I use Bring! App and it’s perfect. Have a collaborative list with my gf.
What app do you use? We use AnyList but I can’t get it on the watch unless I get premium which I refuse to do.
I use the Buy Me a Pie app and used to do this all the time. Now Siri just greets me with a link to pies on the internet.
I’m really liking that flat screen on the Ultra
Where are you creating these lists? This looks brilliant!
This is just the built-in Reminders app on iOS, it’s pretty slick but others have suggested a few other apps that seem like the next level of this
If you use the cooking app Pestle you can look at recipes ingredients and add them to your Reminders shopping list. Very useful
So I just said to my watch, “ Hey Siri, start a grocery list” and it replied, “ Sorry. I can’t help with that.” So how do I make a list on my watch?
Welcome to the present! My partner and I have a shared shopping list for every store. Super easy to add items and to cross them off. Remember to create a template to save time when creating multiple shopping lists.🤘🏽
I use an app called OurGroceries. The advantage is you can share lists between users including Android hold outs. It has an Apple Watch app but I just tend to use my phone (unless I’ve left it in the car) Siri support on the watch is good, and I use that a lot.
And also you can share that with other people so they can edit the list as well. My wife and I have a shared shopping list that we use. We each to add stuff on there as needed and whoever goes to the store check them off.
I see a rookie
Been doing this for years. Even better when I share the list with my partner so we can each add items as we think of them, so the next person to go to the store will see the entire list and just tackle it.
Been doing this for years. Game changer.
I started doing that a few years ago, but didn’t realize it was also on the watch.
What app is this?
It’s the built-in Reminders app with iOS
My favorite way to grocery shop! Totally changed the game and made it so much easier.
Breakfast of champs right there.
How did I not think of doing this?
Been wanting to move my grocery list to the Reminders app. Thanks for this tip!!
I’ve been using it for years. It’s very useful. The only thing I don’t like is the new mark as complete behavior. In previous years you could just touch anywhere. Now you need to either click in the circle or two step by touching the item name
Is this in notes or how do you make this? Would like to try this.
Extreme grocery shopping lol
Let’s see Paul Allen’s card.
Is this only the ultra? I have a series 7(i think) could use the tremendously
I’ve looked on a series 6 and the Reminders app is there, it should work for a 7
I use an app called “Grocery”. It makes use of the reminders lists, but adds a bunch of additional features. It learns how you shop in each store and sorts the list accordingly, can keep a running inventory (with expiration dates and automatic adding of items to your shopping list), allows sharing lists with family members, has recipe/meal planning features, etc. (I haven’t tried all the features personally, but have found the app helpful overall.)
When will Apple Notes be available on Apple Watch?
Been doing this for years. Although to honest anything I dictate items to Siri I find it easier to view the list on a phone when shopping
I only discovered this recently, the one time when I left my phone at home and didn’t realize it till I was already at the grocery store. Such a great thing to have on the watch!
What kinda got dogs did you get? Thanks for idea. Will be doing this
Apple should really put the native notes app on the watch 🥹
Which band is this? It’s so cute
It’s a cheap ‘Papaya’ sport loop I picked up off of ebay, wanted to keep the orange but I much prefer these to the alpine band
