About
Frooty is a feature-rich grocery shopping list app built for families and individuals who want a smarter, more organized in-store experience. Available on both Android and iOS, it lets users quickly build lists via item autocompletion, voice recognition, text imports, or automatic list generation based on shopping history. At its core, Frooty's AI engine uses machine learning to predict shopping costs before you leave home, helping budget-conscious shoppers plan ahead. The Magic Auto-Sort feature organizes items automatically based on past trips — no manual configuration needed. An experimental In-Store Item Locator leverages your own history and crowdsourced data to guide you to the right aisle. Collaboration is a first-class feature: share lists with unlimited contacts (PRO), set up automatic sharing with family members, and communicate through a built-in chat with image support. Push notifications ensure everyone stays in sync even when the app is closed. Smart Reports deliver visual spending insights via graphs, pie charts, and tables, while the archive and CSV export features let power users dig deeper into their data. The free version covers essentials including AI cost predictions, voice recognition, smart reports, and basic sharing. The PRO tier — available as an in-app purchase — unlocks unlimited sharing, faster sync, auto-sharing, Magic Auto-Sort, chat with images, and CSV export. Frooty is ideal for families, roommates, and budget-aware shoppers.
